[QUOTE="TJV, post: 626209, member: 4300"] I think they had a very good idea what they had in Rodgers by the end of the 2007 season. It started early: [URL]http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/115387274.html[/URL] So there was obviously physical talent to work with, but he certainly had his struggles in his rookie season.
