Match Made In Heaven: McCarthy and Finley

[pbmax]

Is Sitton really getting elite money? His deal averages under $7million/year, so it's high, but not what Mankins or Hutchison make.

Driver may well renegotiate down to stay with the team. I'd say Clifton will come off the books, but it seems like I've heard that each of the last three years.

Regardless, I think the money is there, if TT decides Finley is where he wants to spend it. My gut tells me it won't happen though, that monster money will get thrown at him. I think he ends up being franchised and traded, as we did with Corey Williams. There's a lesser chance we sign him before the season is out, but I don't think so. I hope so, but don't think so.

A good point. I meant elite in terms of other Packer salaries. But he is definitely not a huge cost considering his comparables.

JSO has an article on the TE's. A little light on content, but gives some perspective.

THANKS Guiness. I enjoyed that story.It gave me an excellent insight in terms of the roles of 'the FIVE'. Five TE's, Unbelievable. (-:

Whatever woks for MM and the Coach's is good for US fans. WINS are indisputable.

PACKERS FOREVER!

You don't let difference makers just walk away. TT did that with Jenkins, and it is biting him in the ass. No offense to the other TEs on the roster, but NO DEFENSE IN THE LEAGUE would game plan around them. They do for J Mike. What happens if Jennings gets injured? Then what? I just think that J Mike is a playmaker, a top talent and one of the best TEs in the league. He's young and only getting better. You keep him. PERIOD.

He has to want to stay. Be a Packer. Demonstrate that by producing, growing as a complete TE.

PACKERS FOREVER!

I am excited to see quarless get more involved in the passing game. I hope williams blocking is improving, I just remember the sack where he fell away from the rusher and thought yikes.

[Fritz]

I wonder if maybe the mucky-mucks upstairs would like to see a little more of Quarless this second half so they can decide how much they can or can't afford to lose Finley.

Finley is an awful blocker. Can you imagine how valuable he could be if he didn't whiff or go half-ass on so many blocks?

and with that post my mind is made up.

We lose Finley. He's expendable for the better whole of the team and that explains exactly why we have Five (5) TE's on the team. It is a message to J. F.

Using some New Brunswick slang so forgive me but it's this:

Shape up cause you outta, cause see what's in your backyard!? More Roosters!!

You people are nuts. He's one of the best tight ends in football. He's not expendable. Just because there happen to BE other tight ends on the team, doesn't mean they have Finley's talent. And if we're overrating his talent level, or his blocking truly does suck, other teams know that and he won't get the payday he's looking for. Teams do scout players before signing them--at least I'd hope they do.

Wiseguys call that a 'fade' ... safe play here imo.

Daniel Snyder doesn't.

You obviously don't come around here enough. I'm wrong a lot.

A lot of us around here are wrong a lot regardless of gender.
