I want to keep it going. I enjoy when Uncle Buck tells me that I don't know football. The frame of reference is good for off-season talk. How many times do you want to ask how they determine drops? I don't come up with the criteria. A ball that hits you in the hands, or chest, that you SHOULD catch is a catchable ball.

You can soft sell drops all you'd like James Jones was a guy who went from a guy who couldn't catch the plane after the game to a guy who had very reliable hands.

Jordy doesn't have great hands. That's reality. Finley doesn't have great hands...that's reality.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

3 "BIG" drops, Really, didn't Jordy almost score the very next play after his 1st "Key Drop"?
Wouldn't that make that drop "irrelevant?"
Guess not in your world.

So you don't consider the "wr rating" stat more informative than the drop pass rate?

The "wr rating" takes in consideration EVERY pass thrown to the receiver.

Wonder what Bad hands Nelson's "wr rating" was in the Super Bowl?

Still waiting for you to tell me what the parameters are for "a dropped pass"
and who determines these parameters?

I love this, every time you post, you show just how much you don't understand the game of football.

Keep the comments coming.

This all seems pretty irrelevant. Donald Driver had a horrific drop rate. Who cares? Jordy had drops, Driver had drops, Jones had drops. Finley had drops. Jermichael Finley was putting together his best season to date in 2013 prior to his neck injury. I was happy to see that he was doing well, but a bit disappointed it took that long to see. He was giving his best in 2013 and thought he was on pace to surpass his 767 yds and 8 TDs of 2011. I'm just glad he is healthy enough to live a good life with his family.

Finley is not coming back this season. I just cannot see Pat McKenzie clearing him. McCarthy keeping his locker in tact is a nice gesture, but I think it is all for naught. Maybe, maybe, he comes back in 2015. This staff clearly loves him, but, c'mon. We are just 6 months removed from his spinal fusion. No way he gets cleared to play this year.

I know it is slow, but this thread is stupid.

He did look better before he got hurt..

In 2011 Nelson was outstanding. Football outsiders DVOA ranked him above Calvin Johnson per play for players with more than 50 passes. The last 2 years he has been top 6 and had a better catch rate than Cobb.

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

Finely doesn't drop as many as people whine about, nor do his drops come more inopportune than other players drops. Finley's openness and willingness to speak his mind makes him a target.

Finley is contributes to the offense in more ways than catching. Opponents have stated this already. He opens things up even if he isn't the player getting the ball thrown to him.

Watch the games instead of the box scores and you'll know.

Packers have some momentum now... 3rd down and long, Rodgers back to pass, fires...

Tim Masthay on to punt...

But don't come off like you are some kind of expert in comparison to the rest us. If you were, WTF are you doing wasting time with us when you could be employed by a NFL team?

Maybe, he read RUN TO DAYLIGHT, or something?
