Maybe they'll bring Tori Gurley up from the PS.

I was saying this as soon as the injury occurred. Activate Gurley and bench Finley. Gurley is tall, with extraordinarily long arms. He can't do much worse than Finley has lately, considering both Grant and Cobb had better completion percentages today. (3 out of 10 targets . . . seriously? Not all the passes were great, but still!)

It's pretty sad that I am willing to trust an unproven practice squad player over a supposedly established, superstar tight end.

I posted on Twitter earlier today that Finley simply isn't an elite TE. He is still a valuable weapon, however, but not elite. He's a good tight end. Elite players consistently make difficult catches. They don't make them all, but much more often than not. I would still like to keep him, but hopefully more Packer fans will realize he isn't elite. Props for staying healthy so far, but he has a long ways to go to be a top 5 and maybe even a top 10 TE in the NFL.

Anybody else remember when Donald Lee used to be a reliable pass catching TE? Then all of a sudden it seemed like he couldn't catch a cold? I wish I wasn't reminded of that, but I am.

Finley has been a helluva disappointment lately, that's for sure. I felt there were two passes he should have caught, no question. Another one he made good effort and should have too.

It's become very clear that he's marginally athletic for a TE, but always excelled because he had velcro hands and tremendous body control in space. Not so sure about the hands anymore, so now he's just a big body who is a little more athletic than Bubba Franks.

He'll have an occasional great game, and then several below average ones. Sounds like the description of a "good" player to me, at best. Overall, still a solid 4th round draft pick, though.

#10

And I hope he ends up getting paid commensurate with that performance (and gets relegated to irrelevance in the Super Bowl much like Jones did last year -- I shudder to think what might happen if this team really needs a first down when it counts and they throw to him). If some other team is willing to pay him like a top-5 tight end, let them.
