Packers seem to be finished with Finley

[gbgary]

bs article probably. no names quoted. tt doesn't throw away cap money and if we had a better te he'd be playing.

[red]

thats the type of game finley should have every week, with a few really "awesome" games thrown in

he did his job for the first time this year

oh boy, now he's worth every

[packers11]

Yes lets get rid of our best TE because the next Jason Witten is waiting under his wings...

Umm No... I'll be pissed if hes gone next year, there is no replacement for him...

Yeah a guy that cant catch, block and run his mouth is so hard to find! How will TT do it?!

[RashanGary]

We replaced Favre. I think TT can find a way to replace Finley.

Jermichael Finley caught five of six targets for 61 yards at Chicago in Week 15. The one incomplete was a terrible pass

Jermichael Finley caught two passes for 16 yards in Green Bay's Week 14 win over the Lions. (3 targets) 1 bad drop

Jermichael Finley hauled in six passes for 60 yards versus the Vikings in Week 13. (7 targets)


Past three weeks... His "drops" are being over scrutinized now by the fans that HATE him... Yea Crabtree and Quarles are a better replacement... Keep him atleast one more year until you FIND a suitable replacement. Esp with Jennings possibly gone, why the hell would you want to lose another weapon on this offense???

Understand about suitable replacement, but he's getting over $7 mil is cash next year for being very average. Lot of money for little in return. Money could be used elsewhere even if TE position is weaker. Need to have value along with talent.

The one bright spot, undeniable, was the long seam route he caught.

not to mention the FACT that he's thrown his QB under the bus a couple times this year and is running his mouth almost like TO. everybody on that offense is a team first guy, thats what makes them gel so well. there's only ONE, me first guy.

we don't need that loud mouth shit in green bay. he's a fucking cancer

cut him out before he becomes worse

[RashanGary]

Well said, Red. He's a douche bag.

If we get a RB, we're going to be in really, really good shape next year. Even without Jennings and Finley.


Keep stacking that defense. Like PB said. It's not just losing Finley. It's losing Finley, but gaining another playmaker at another position. The Packers are going to a balanced look. Great.

The Patriots, Cowboys and 49ers all had balance and great defense. Brady was a 25TD 10INT guy when he was winning SB's. 3000-3500 yards. Very average. Steelers balanced. Broncos balanced. Packers had balance down the stretch. The year the Colts won was Mannings least successful year passing. They were running well. Ravens, balanced. Buccaneers balanced. . . . Who else is there? Balanced teams tend to win the SB. Giants balanced. . . .

Great QB (especially the consistent, clutch ones)
Great Defense
Great Safety
Great pass rusher(s)
Balanced offense

Those seem like the commonalities in SB winning teams.

[red]

it would be nice to have that great safety

ours are just pretty average

[Guiness]

agreed, its nice to know that those of us that have been thinking this aren't crazy and all, but.....

whoever leaked this and just cost us draft picks needs to be fired. not to mention, finley is now gonna be pouting and even more worthless then normal now

and if it was finley or his agent that leaked it?

conduct detrimental to the team, starting today. go home for the rest of the season, and do no collect your paycheck as you pass GO

I was thinking that too. No reason to let this out, unless it's a rather extreme way to try and light a fire under him, and I don't see how that can work. I guess they turn the stretch/playoff run into a contract year?

[mraynrand]

So now Finley is a cancer and a douche bag? You guys really have no sense of proportion.

[Guiness]

He half-asses a lot of stuff. MM likes to run one receiver thru the zone to clear it. All the other guys run their asses off on those clearing routes to help the other boys. Fin won't bust it on those clears, he just wants the ball,

Finley did radically improve his blocking. He went from a zero to a pretty good blocker, especially on angle blocks. When he was in his first couple years, he couldn't block at all. i don't think he ever did that at Texas.

Interesting, and I wish I had a good enough eye to catch what a receiver's job is on one of those wheel routes.

[Guiness]

Sure, five yard gains aren't much when its 3rd and 10. But short passes are what make the West Coast Offense famous.

Agree with you that J-Mike would be putting up a boatload of stats on an offense without so many weapons.

J-Mike has shown glimpses of catching bullets before. Drops are a matter of confidence. Keep feed J-Mike the rock and he'll get his confidence back in no time.

Short passes make the West Coast offense work.

We're not running the West Coast offense.

[Pugger]

When has Finley thrown Rodgers under the bus? The worst thing JF has ever said is he wishes he had better chemistry with AR. His agent was the jerk. I'd say it is fans that have a bigger issue with Finley than anybody in the locker room at 1265.

Until we find another TE better than Finley this offseason he isn't going anywhere. I found it rather telling Williams was a healthy scratch yesterday. If he, Crabby or Taylor were better they'd be starting and not Finley.
