Finley getting 57th opinion on his neck today

[Fritz]

It'd be pretty funny if they left the stanky unwashed jocks and cleats in the locker when they delivered it.

We've entered "the Dog Days" in the NFL Season.

Why does he keep on hanging out in Minneapolis? Isn't he from Texas?

I think he's career is over. I know MM wants to think differently, but I'm getting that ol' Nick Collins feeling about all this.

There is a place in Minneapolis that Finley has worked out at in the offseason before, including 2011 when he was coming back from his knee injury. This is nothing new.

Demovsky: You're referring to the tweet that Jermichael Finley posted in which he proclaimed that he had "Awesome News!" A few hours later, however, he tweeted something about a "minor setback" for a "major #comeback." I can tell you that after talking to several people about the matter after those tweets, that there has been no change in either his medical clearance or his contractual status with the Packers. Until the former changes, meaning the Packers' doctors give him the OK to return to the field, nothing will happen with the latter. And let's be clear about this: Even if Finley's doctor says it's safe for him to resume his career, that does not mean individual doctors for NFL teams will have the same opinion.

Shorter version: Nothing has changed.

Here's a guess:

It's the food:

i.e. The deliscious turkey drumsticks and jerk-style chicken wings; deep-fried pumpkin pie and mini-doughnut-batter ice cream....Chocolate covered cheese?

Yum Yum !

For a guy with only 223 receptions and 20 TDs in 6 seasons, he certainly gets a lot of press.

What's the eye roll for? It wasn't a criticism of him, just a comment on the way his career has evolved, influenced more by injuries than anything.

At some point, and I would suggest with six seasons in the bank the point has come, it should be realized that is career trajectory is set. Can he possible still have a big year? Sure. But something will likely always get in the way of a truly fantastic season. First it was immaturity, then leg injuries, followed by a knee injury and surgery. Then, a concussion followed by the neck injury and another surgery. Drops have made him unreliable for long stretches, even when he was otherwise healthy.

He's never had an 800 yard season. He has had 3 games of 100 yards or more, the last in 2010. He has had four games of 80-100 yards, the last in 2011.

He seems to get press based on potential, because injuries and some of his own failings (drops) have suppressed his actual performance. But press based on potential for a skill position player entering his 7th season seems misplaced, in my opinion.

That said, I would like to see him back in GB, but not if it takes a big contract to get him there. I think that would be wasted money.

Really.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Finley is much better than the likes of Quarless. Richard Rodgers looks he'll be a JAG in the Quarless mold to me. Finley changes how defenses cover us. None of our other guys do. (Lyerla does have the talent to be that kind of guy.)

Of course him tweeting so much gets him a lot of air time and press attention.

[mraynrand]

All I asked was that Finley live up to his contract somewhere near the level of Scott Wells. Then the neck injury. Oh. the HUMANITY!

Colt Ly err laa.... Aaron Rodgers may be thinking great thoughts and this Rookie. Plans !!

Another TE prospect that uses Twitter.

If he gets it right, Colt Lyerla may be a Green Bay Packer fan favourite. He has such potential !

I'm not buying that. He draws little linebacker coverage, but even when its the 3/4 CB or a safety, its single coverage. No one rolls coverage to him. Captain crossing route hasn't made that kind of dent in a while. Not since the knee injury.

Finley CAN do those things, but too often does not. He does not do them standing on the sidelines with yet another injury. It seemed to me that defenses were becoming less and less concerned about him as his problems with drops continued from one season to the next. He is an inconsistent blocker on top of the injury and drop issues. He is a veteran player going into his 7th season. Basically, he is a player that can not be relied on because of injuries, drops and inconsistent effort and technique in blocking. I don't expect any of that to change, but he still will do things to get people excited from time to time.

He is the Jeff George of tight ends. A guy who has ability to be much better than his actual performances for many reason, including injuries. Every time Jeff George was available, the press and fans went crazy, and every where he went, his actual performance failed to live up to their hopes and expectations.

Finley will continue to suffer from injuries. He will continue having issues with drops. He will continue to be an inconsistent blocker. The trick is determining what value he has apart from those things.

Keeping him in GB would, however, be quite interesting if he can be paired with a healthy and experienced Quarless, a focused Lyerla and an up and coming reliable Rodgers. It would allow Finley to focus on what he does best, while still presenting reasonable options in the passing game with the other TEs. In view of Finley's history, I juts don't want to see them risk a lot of cap dollars with Finley
