Have you forgotten his rookie year? He had drops in big situations.Originally posted by Brandon494 View PostI honestly think Finley is thinking too much about his contract extension and trying too hard instead of just going out and playing the game. This guy was catching two balls at once during training camp and has never had problems with catching in the past.
First, according to him, it was Rodgers fault on one of them.
Then it was the famous, "I don't do back shoulder..." quote.
as for camp this year, maybe he did a trick or two, but drops have plagued him since camp started:
Jermichael Finley admits that he's had a continuous case of the drops in Packers camp.
"I've missed more passes this training camp than I ever have," he said. "All it is is just knocking off the dust. It's lack of focus too, relaxing on some passes. I just need to zone in and get back right."

He does have a lot of really obvious, bad drops. I think that's why people point to his lack of concentration. I hadn't noticed them being more in the middle of the field as Upnorth pointed it out but I really haven't paid attention. If he got those drops under control he'd be unstoppable.Originally posted by Brandon494 View PostYou really calling him out for drops he had in his rookie year? Lmao
Also your quote pretty much proved my point that he is thinking about it too much this year.Originally posted by 3irty1This is museum quality stupidity.

Actually, it is I who is LMAO because of your inaccurate statement that Finley:Originally posted by Brandon494 View PostYou really calling him out for drops he had in his rookie year? Lmao
So, no, I was not calling Finley out for drops in his rookie year; however I was pointing out your blindness to what is not just a simple problem for him. I mentioned his rookie year because those were well-publicized events that Packer fans remember. However, in fact, drops were a problem his first year, early in his second season and now ever since the start of camp in his fourth season. Drops have been a problem for him except for the latter part of 2009 and the few games he played in 2010.Originally posted by Brandon494 View Post.... has never had problems with catching in the past.
Actually it doesn't prove anything except that Finley is willing to voice excuses.Originally posted by Brandon494 View PostI honestly think Finley is thinking too much about his contract extension and trying too hard instead of just going out and playing the game.Originally posted by Brandon494 View Post
Also your quote pretty much proved my point that he is thinking about it too much this year.
We would all like Finley to be an all-world TE, but he isn't playing like one right now. He was at the start of last season, but not right now. I was actually surprised and disappointed at how easily he let the Giants physical play disrupt his focus and knock him off his routes. He did not fight through their tight play in the first 5 (sometimes 6 or 7) yards as well as I thought he could. Yesterday was the first time we saw a lot of camera isolation on him, and it was clear that being physical can take him out of his routes.

I'm not sure why that is your stock answer to anyone who voices a criticism of him. Do you think he is perfect? Do you think he is maximizing his potential? Should I just call you a "Finley lover" and leave it at that?Originally posted by Brandon494 View PostOk Finley hater
I just want Finley to be as good as he can be and should be, because that is what he is being paid to do and it will make the Packers better. I want him to use his God-given talents to the utmost, like Tramon Williams has, Jordy Nelson has, Nick Collins has, Aaron Rodgers has, Greg Jennings has, etc. I don't expect him to be perfect anymore than the others are, but I expect more consistency from him as a 4th year player.
I don't get emotionally caught up in any players. Don't hate them or love them. Don't care who beats out who, or who replaces who. Don't care if they stay or go individually, only for how it all affects the team.Last edited by Patler; 12-05-2011, 12:21 PM.

Who are you quoting?Originally posted by Brandon494 View Post-"Aaron Rodgers has never had a problem with accuracy in the past."
-"Not true he actually struggled his rookie season completing 56% of his passes."
And how did Rodgers do in his later years? Did he have a season of regression? Enlighten me, please. Your argument, comment, point is not clear to me.

Please. I have said many good things about Aaron Rodgers. I am busting Packerfans' balls. The "Protected One" is playing lights out. He just might have the best statistical season of any qb.Originally posted by mraynrand View PostAmazing how you can't write about the guy without being a troll.
I am tired I can't believe that I wrote so poorly.
