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.

Greg Jennings' rookie numbers: 45 catches, 632 yards, 3 TDs

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.
