Yes, Finley was around for the 15-1 season, and the Packers offense was much better.Quote:

2012 - Offense = 27.1 points/game; Defense = 21.0 points/game (gave up 45 points in playoff loss)
Seems to me like the Packers offense was much better off when Finley was healthy.

I don't think you can compare a year with Finley to one without him, and conclude that he was responsible for the differences. The offense changes, the team is different. I think a better comparison can be made looking at the years in which he was injured. You can compare how they performed before and after he was injured. In 2010, his departure didn't seem to impact scoring, in 2013 scoring without him dropped by about 3 points/game, but Rodgers was also out most of those same games, and I don't think it is extreme to think the loss of Rodgers had more to do with it than the loss of Finley.Quote:

I would sign that deal with Finley.Quote:

Absolutely, Fin wasn't that great before the injury. Even if they could get him on the cheap, he's never going to be the player he was before the injury, both physically and mentally.Quote:

That said, I think Finley's gone. GB leans more conservatively with neck injuries, plus they have Quarless, Bostick, Taylor, Rodgers, Lyerla and Perillo. They can find 4 TEs from that group; the question is whether they can find one that is a pass catching threat who can stay healthy. Lyerla is probably the only one who has the athleticism to scare a Cover 2 defense.
I am seriously conflicted about whether this makes me think Finley is a better option or that its clear he is done.

Even though transaction report suggests Jermichael Finley visited Patriots on Monday, it happened on Friday.
Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 20m
RT @Edwerderespn: Hearing Jermichael Finley visit to Patriots was exclusively for medical evaluation of his spinal fusion surgery.
That would be opinion #58, then.
I think #59. Fins doc cleared him last week.Quote:

The Backup Plan?
New England needs tight-end depth, and veteran talent is available. So what's the holdup?
This video is really about Jermichael Finley; but there's more Packers as well.
yup...there's your cheap, one-year, "show us", contract.Quote:

Technically visited Steelers team doc. RT @AaronNagler: Jermichael Finley has interest from the Raiders and visited Steelers, per @RapSheet.
Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 48m
Important distinction. How many of these visits are purely medical for now? RT @RapSheet: Finley technically visited Steelers team doc.
so finley has visited the seahawks to get checked out, and they passed
the pats brought him in to check him out, didn't offer him a deal
steelers doc checked him out, no offer
anyone noticing a pattern?
everyone that has looked at his neck has decided it doesn't look good
