    Let's hope he can help get us a W!
    But I think the return of Agnew and Halahuni will have more of an impact this Saturday.

    Looking forward to seeing him back. Great competitor. Too much of a warrior to end his career with a knee injury...so glad he's back.

    I hope fans don't expect the Rogers of old. He's not the same but is a good leader and upgrade at WR/F.

    BEAT UCLA!!

    He might not be 100% back by the UCLA game, but he'll get there in a few games.

    Dude, don't count on it. He'll never be like he was. Same knee has been injured twice and a big-time concussion... He's back, great, yes, wonderful, excellent!

    But, damn the fans that expect the same Rodgers. Do you even remember how BRUTAL the injury was???? So fitting of OSU to get a penalty on the play too....

    See the vid at the link below....

    Dude, it was ligament damage. That's what the surgeries were for. Athletes can make it back 100% from ligament tears and usually do. It just takes some time.

    Love and respect your confidence, Oolong. I'm as happy he's back as anyone. Look, even now the dude is fast and going to be a good player. He just won't be the same.

    I don't think he'll be the same, but I do hope he'll have healed enough to get to the NFL. He's definitely a great guy who deserves that kind of success in this particular field, including any others he wishes.

    If he doesn't make it to the NFL I bet Riley still has contacts with the CFL.

    Rodgers at 80% is probably better than any other WR we have.
