    Unfortunately, this sums it up well. I'm sure dcs said George could throw it anywhere on the field and DBS had to stay with their guy down the field. George was still inconsistent. Finley too.

    I think Rodgers will be pretty good. Looks huge next to the other TEs except Bostick.

    And not sure what you guys are reading about BB, but he's been flashing all camp... no way he gets cut. I'll take any bet on that. PM me.

    According to JSO, Rodgers' weight is up in the 270-275 range. He'd be an imposing guy if he can run well at that weight.

    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.
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    I know everyone here hates McGinn, but he seems to think RR is the real deal.
    I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.

    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.

    You liking him proves I'm right on my assumption of him being a boob.

    If he can consistently block, catch TDs in the red zone, and move the chains, he'll set up the rest of the offense to do whatever the hell it wants.
