How bout that for a Rodgers to Rodgers connection. He might not be fast, but anyone wanna doubt he can catch now?
I admit to having the same thought while looking at the replays. R. Rodgers did an outstanding job of high-pointing the ball.Good thing he caught it and not Adams who was right behind him, he would've dropped it.

Lmao we know he wouldn't have been able to break the tackle to make it into the end zone hahaLet's give RR some credit and just be thankful he didn't catch it 2 yards short of the end zone and get tackled!

That last play was perfect for him and should serve as a teaching point to other receivers and the coaching staff. RR can be valuable to this offense. Even between the 20's. He doesn't need to be a seam buster, he's not built that way. Run him to an area and put the ball where he can shield the defender and he has great hands to catch with. Even if he's only 7 yards down field, that's 7 yards and I'll take them. Especially when we only needed 6 for a first down.
I'll take a TE who catches pretty much everything thrown at him and doesn't get many YAC as opposed to one who breaks an occasional tackle but can't catch.
I'd love to have a guy like Gronk but it isn't necessary. Lots of teams win without a Gronk. We need guy who can catch the ball when it is thrown at him anything else is gravy.
INobody doubted his hands, as they are great, but his athletic ability for a 3rd rounder. He's not painfully slow as I thought (Finley ran a 4.81) as much as he painfully lacks in quickness and acceleration, so if any route involves him stopping and catching the ball, like the screens we've seen, that's as far as he is going to go.As much as I'm similarly at fault, it's always fun to see forum reaction. RRodgers was getting accolades early in the year, during the winning streak. Then during the down time, he was the worst 3rd round choice, ever. Now, after one catch (OK, maybe one game), he's back in good graces again. Gotta love it.
