    It's not like they had no other candidates to cut, Brandon Bostick.

    I do wonder, if Bradford shows any improvement at all inside, if the Packers would be tempted to cut Jones, or if they feel his experience makes him a valuable backup and special teams guy.

    I'm not sure if it's coaches or where I've heard it, but people keep lauding his coverage ability. I have yet to see it. Maybe they are comparing it to Hawk's coverage ability?

    Or maybe we don't see it because QB's aren't throwing to the guy being covered by Jones? Just throwing that out there.

    Go back to last year. He trailed his guy in coverage quite a bit and gave up a lot of passing yards. Hawk on the other hand, is usually not near his guy in coverage. That's the difference I've seen.

    If this is the case, sure would've been nice to have him on the field against NO, covering Graham who ended the night with half a dozen catches and a TD.

    Talk about thread drift...

    But Guiness brings up a good observation: Jimmy Graham had just returned from injury for the last game and ended up being a difference maker. The Saints are a much better team with him out there.

    It's no surprise that the Patriots are also playing much better with Gronk back from injury, too. Gronk and Graham are/were widely seen as the top 2 TEs in the game. Both have been injured for most of the first part of the year and both have recently returned to make their teams better.

    In a world where Brady has Gronk, Brees has Graham, and Manning has Thomas, Rodgers to Quarless makes me want to cry.

    I'm warming up to Quarless. He gets open enough to provide an option. He's rumored to be able to block. Quarless is the AJ Hawk of the offense, and I'm not damning with faint praise. I'm thinking of 2012 and 2013 Hawk.

    Well, he had Finley and never came close to using him in the same way that Gronkowski and Graham have been used.

    J-Mike was used that way in the Arizona playoff game and he was rocking the league in '10 before that infamous Donald Fucking Lee fumble landed J-Mike on the IR.

    Post-injury, J-Mike struggled with drops but he was still a force to be reckoned with. Nobody is afraid of the current TEs on the roster.

    So seven games in a six year career? I was in his camp but he never got his head back in the game after the injury. He was worried about his contract and longevity and it ended up costing him his health.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Arizona playoff game? One game does not define "use" of a TE.

    2010? "Rocking the league?" 4 games and 21 receptions? Again, doesn't really show how Rodgers would use him for an extended period of time.

    The Arizona game was a prelude to what was supposed to be J-Mike's breakout year. Prior to his injury in '10 season, J-Mike was the Packers' feature receiver, a la Gronk and Graham.

    5 catches a game is pretty good for a tight end in an offense that also included Jennings, Nelson , Driver and Jones. Even when he was used as a decoy, opponents had to account for J-Mike. Too big for corners, too fast for linebackers/safeties.

    You stated that Rodgers "had Finley and never came close to using him in the same way that Gronkowski and Graham have been used."

    I simply gave you some examples.
