Because I listed to NFL Network....Pat O'Brien and Jim Miller....who get DC's and head coaches in and interview them all the time.

Coordinators get interviewed all the time. They tend not to say too much and when they do, its news. Like when Capers explained, after everyone started to complain about Kaepernick not being spied, that they DID try to spy.
So other than saying something boring and generic like "you have to be sure not to let Finley beat you", did they really reveal any details of their intention to focus on Finley?
Finley only had elite production in about 1 1/2 seasons that he was in Green Bay. I'm not just talking about injuries, he had a lot of drops. It was not like having a Tony Gonzalez or Jason Witten on the field, except maybe in his second year.
"Talent" is only part of story. Jeff George had talent.
I am not down with a combo of TEs. Every team has a combo of TEs. The teams where that position is an asset have a threat.
One of those guys needs to be a good player - like Finley.
I doubt teams were as worried about Finley in 2013 as they were in 2009-10. That said, I'll bet they worried more about Finley than they did Quarless. They need someone to eventually emerge who is better than Quarless. Bostick and Rodgers are the best bets to do that. I think Rodgers has a chance to their best overall TE in a long time.
This is the case. What we have left, unless a rookie emerges....are a bunch of JAG's who DC's don't really have to mention or pay attention to at all. They can let their Brad Just a guy Jones cover them man to man.
I'm not sure we need a weapon at TE but it was nice to have.
Everbody hates McGinn!? Only losers who have converted their basement into being a "packer room" and who wear football jerseys to church hate Bob McGinn. Now that you mention it, I guess that is most of the people in this forum. But I like McGinn a lot, he is interesting. The only reason he is wrong a lot is that he offers a lot of opinions. I think he is insightful most of the time.
I wonder if anybody painted their face for "Family night" last Saturday.
