Finley plays with confidence. Quarless plays stiff. He looks tense out there. He needs to loosen up.

What are the Packers going to do?

Develop Quarless, but there really is no question. Finley is the best playmaker on the Green Bay offense. If Quarless has to take a back seat, then so be it.

Look at the Patriots and their rookie TE's in Ron Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. It won't be an issue.

To be honest, Quarless has done nothing to impress me. Bubba Franks did more at this point in his career than Quarless--then again, Franks was a first-round draft choice.

He's caught some TDs, gone over the middle. He's dropped a few, but he's a rookie. Done more than Greg Jennings did as a rook.

Andrew Quarless' rookie numbers (so far): 11 catches, 139 yards, 1 TD

I think Quarless is doing fine, but you could've picked someone better to compare him to. Finley, maybe?

IMO, this is a good "problem" to have and will not be a problem in the future. The Packers will definitely utilize these two players to the best ability on the field.

The special thing about Finley is with him and Quarless on the field at the same time, we would have to run a "double tight end" formation....Finley is just as good split out as a WR and that can cause extreme frustration for defenses.

I thoroughly enjoy when we have "good problems." We seem to have a lot of those this year. Even with the injuries, there have been people stepping up and filling in very successfully, which turns the problem into a bit of a good problem, like when Peprah plays better than Burnett and Bigby, or Bulaga better than Tauscher.

So what?

That doesn't mean he will reach or even come close to the capabilities Finley has shown. In fact, I'm confident he won't.

Furthermore, Finley's problem has never been skill. It has always been maturity. While there is upside with Quarless, it is nowhere near as high as some Packer fans are hoping for. At least I don't see it THAT high. Not at Penn State and not in Green Bay.

    Zero2Cool (10h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
    dfosterf (14h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
    dfosterf (14h) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (15h) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (15h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (15h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (15h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (15h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (15h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (15h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (15h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (15h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (16h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (16h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (16h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (16h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (18h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (18h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
    dfosterf (18h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

    dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
    Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
    dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
    Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
    Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
    wpr (9-Apr) : yay
    Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
