Not enough passes to go round.

Just imagine what it'll be like next season if we draft a WR in round 1.

I'm kind of surprised Driver didn't talk with the media Thursday or after the game. He's normally a very team player, but this article implies that he didn't talk to the media because he's not happy about his low catch/target total.

I'm thinking there is another reason.

I also think that towards the bottom of the article says it all. Maybe Mike McCarthy is trying to find out what the limits to using Finley are to know for the playoffs and the future. If so, would it be hurt to tell the team?

We had a thread early this year, prior to Finley's knee injury.. this isn't a new trend it just might be more focused now with other issues quieting down.

If the receivers have an issue with it.. tough shit. You gameplan to win the freaking game and whatever gives you the best option to do so.

Do I believe Finley's personality might have more to do with the potential issue.. maybe.. he is young and loud.

if Drive is upset about anything, it's his drops/fumbles/deflections the past few games, imo. that would make me cranky, anyways.

Also, Finley is a beat. My brother and I were talking a few weeks ago. Pete (my brother) said Finley reminds him of Tony Gonzalez. I said Finley reminded me of Antonio Gates. Pete then said, "well, yeah. Gates is the new Gonzalez." I said, "Finley is the new Gates!". Then I got a boner.

Oh, bozz....spare us your boner stories!! LOL

Dude is becoming a monster...add that to an always deep WR rotation, and that spells trouble for opposing defenses.

How many more "rock star" type players must Ted Thompson draft/aquire to quiet those who think him incapable.

Looking forward to the playoffs....we are the team that NOBODY wants to face in the post-season!
