Finley: Knee feels "brand new"· Page 2

I'd trade Finley for a better than average WR. Aaron prefers WRs to TEs. That's his style. That's where he excels. Check the stats if you don't believe me.

I'm not half as high on Finley as everyone else here is. I'm now thinking Finley is like a T.O.-lite.

It's not his style, his style is throw it to the guy who is the most open. Another "better than average" receiver on this team would be lucky to have the production Finley did in 4 games last year over a season. Your trade idea is dumb at best.

Finley needs to prove he can remain productive for an entire season. If he can't do that, he will be off the team. And when he leaves, there will be the usual group of suspects -- you, DakotaT, probably Dexter_Sinister, and myself -- being branded assholes once again as we bid him good riddance, while everyone else bemoans the loss of yet another supposedly indispensable cog of the Packers machine. 😉

Like go.pack.go, I don't get the antipathy either.

How a player acts in the locker room, on the practice field and during games is a lot more important to me than worrying about what he tweets.

I don't have a problem with Barnett either.

Most of the controversy is manufactured and has little or nothing to do with how they play.

However, if he does leave, it will be because we don't need him. Which I am fine with.

But I don't pay all that much attention to what they say and do in the media. I mostly follow the Packers for the football.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Finley hasn't gotten in any trouble and I have not seen that he has caused any real issues in the locker room either. Until something like that happens I'm filing criticisms of his "attitude problem" away in the same place I put criticisms of "Matthews being too worried about his sack celebration and not focused on football" last offseason (the idiotic overreaction file).

Considering you have a perpetually rosy outlook on EVERY member of the team at ALL times, I don't put much stock in what you think on this topic. In the real world, not everyone likes everyone else all the time. That's life. You are going to have to get used to it sooner or later.

Cool. I'm sorry. I forgot that the only reason I post my opinion here was to please you.

If Finley can stay healthy for a couple seasons, he will probably be considered the best TE in the NFL, easily. So you want to cut him because he has some cockiness (sp?)? IMO, that is good for the locker room.

Finley feels like he is the best TE in football. So what? Every player should have that confidence to them.

I just think it would be a huge mistake letting go of one of the most dangerous players in the league.

Mucky Tundra (11h) : *winning MVP

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (18h) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (18h) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (18h) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (18h) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (18h) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (18h) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (10-Feb) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Philly DL has come to play
