    Reading the Bob McGinn article about the TEs left me unthrilled.

    "You can't replace Jermichael because of his talent, his size, his stature," Stoneburner said. "That was a lot of experience we don't have. As a whole, maybe we can duplicate it."

    Fuck that platoon talk. If you have three guys good enough to be the starter, you probably got none. Finley was a good, not great, TE. We need somebody to be as good as Finley. Rodgers or Bostick.

    Pretty rare for rookie TE's to make a big impact. I think Bostick is the best bet. He should know the offense by now, and probably is the TE most similar to Finley physically. Quarless may start out as the starter because of inexperience, but may not be able to hold it.
