Jermichael Finley's recent tweet and TT drafting of 2 TE's

[Brandon494]

Some of you guys need to get a fucking life. If a player isn't a damn boy scout on our team you instantly label him the next TO cuz hes a brother? Haha I can't wait to bring this topic up in a few years when Finleys the #1 TE in the league. I know it's the off season and all but stop making a big deal over nothing.

Exactly. Everyone seems to assume Quarless will learn to catch consistently this year and become Finely Jr., but until it actually happens he's very replaceable. Crabtree and Havner are the type of guys you should be trying to replace with more talented guys. Lee is gone.

Finley is the only "sure thing" and he hasn't even made it through 16 games yet in his career and is coming off a knee surgery with staph infection complications.

I don't see it as very surprising that they took two TEs in the draft. I was actually hoping for a TE in the first or second round, Kyle Rudolph. Damn Vikings got him.

gosh not me

Homerism aside, I don't see the upside in Quarless that I saw in Finley....not even close

Your race card is getting pretty dog eared.

I wasn't the who brought it up buddy

[Freak Out]

Cut him now. He is a cancer waiting to spread.

Who brought up Finley's race? Warren Moon?

Yeah, it felt good when I wrote it I felt like it was a good tone setter for my counter point to skins sky is falling melodrama.

Uhhh.... what? I think you got me confused with the feeling of your mom going down on you, dummy.

I'm not especially worried about Finley turning into T.O., but haven't "maturity issues" (things like "missing curfew the night before a playoff game", "lying to coaches", etc.) been one of the concerns about him ever since we drafted him? So I'm hoping that it literally is just a maturity thing and he'll get better as he grows up. But there has to be the concern, not the certainty but the concern, that he may always be a bit of a problem child.

i can't believe this thread is still going. he says he's doing great and this is what it starts? you should read all his tweets. 75% of it is boring family stuff and "god is great" posts and the other 25% are posts about his diet and rehab workout. he mentions loving Green Bay and playing for the Packers once in a while and can't wait for the season to start. move along...there's nothing to see here.

[Guiness]

Gimme a break gbgary.

Draft is over, no season coming up, no minicamps, MM hasn't held a presser, Favre seems to be staying retired...

What the hell else do you want us to talk about here?

[Lurker64]

Mostly the problem as that we've seen in the past from guys like Javon Walker or Cletidus Hunt, one good season from a guy is no guarantee that he'll keep it up, guys can always go insane, get hurt, get lazy. Finley hasn't really given us a complete "good season" so while he certainly could become the greatest TE in history, there's a lot that falls into the "wait and see" camp.

Sure wish there was a new CBA in place, so we could be talking about OTAs...

I thought we didn't draft Mark Herzlich

Drama alert! Drama alert!

Where did anyone in this thread say cut him I believe there are two of us who are saying he shows some trouble signs, but even the two of us that are saying that, are also saying he's a great player and is probably going to be great.

Since we're talking about Finley, we brought up the facts about Finley. The only people saying, "cut him" are the people dramatizing and exaggerating other people's opinions.

That would be me. And I stand by it.

We didn't, and if we did we couldn't even cut him right now. Can't make player moves during a lockout.
