[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 866891, member: 7261"] Just to be clear, I am on the same page as you. I am trying to point out how people mistakenly or misguidedly use this notion that you mentioned of "Rodgers takes an abnormally long time to develop rapport with receivers, or that he won't throw to [B][U]good players[/U][/B] that he doesn't know well" There lies the crux of the issue, having good pass catchers to throw to and what makes a good pass catcher. Some peoples definition of "good" is much different then what makes a receiver have a successful NFL career. We have seen many so called pass catchers parade through Green Bay over the years, most recently, I would pick Kumerow and one that many fans fawned over and felt was maybe the next Jordy. However, like Jeff Janis, Kumerow came out of college and barely made the NFL, didn't even see playing time in Cincinnati or New England. Sure, he shined a few times in preseason, just like Janis, but all in all there was a reason he was an UDFA, he lacked enough of the skills to make him a solid receiver in the NFL. So some fans want to say "he could be good, if Rodgers just trusted him". Really? It's now Rodgers fault that Kumerow actually isn't a solid receiver? Last season we saw a whole depth chart (below Adams) full of these guys and some seemed surprised and again wanted to blame Rodgers, for lack of production. Once in awhile a mid to late round or UDFA makes it in the NFL, but to blame Rodgers when they don't as a Packer, I don't get it. How has #12 done with guys that came out of college as a pretty decent WR and rated well because of it? [/QUOTE]
