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.
