Resign Wells and Finley. Tag and trade Flynn for good draft picks or good pass rush help. Flynn wants a chance to start and not much the Packers can do to keep him behind Rodgers other than tag after tag but that gets price fast.

Where did Jermichael Finley or his agent state Finely should be the top paid TE? I ask, because I can't remember hearing anything close to this.

I thought I heard he is trying to get Wr money and not TE because he lines up wide so much.

I find this question difficult to answer myself because I believe Andrew Quarless and another tight end (not sure whom, I just expect someone to step up) could fill the void of Jermichael Finley.

The finding the ball part I kind of wonder if might need contacts for his eyes. Also he seriously hurt his knee... sounded like it might take him a year from the surgery to recover which would basically be the end of the season so he might be on the IR next season already.

Alright. Does anyone bother to read what I wrote?

I said hypothetically if Vikesrule casts a spell and turns Aaron evil. How absurd do I have to make something to show that it's hypothetical?

OK, should I say "in an alternate universe?" How about "if the aliens conquer the Earth and force things to be more fair." Would people get that I'm talking hypothetically then?

I even started out my post as

This is a hypothetical question so let's put money and everything else aside here and I'm just going to answer the question.



I guess people just don't read what I write.

Someone says "what if this" and you say "well what if that" and they come back with "well how about this" ... etc ... it's never ending. It was a simple straight forward question. 🙂

He is not demanding a WR type contract.

Don't know if you were being serious or not...

OK, the reason I said hypothetically was that I'd like to see this angle discussed. I think it's a good angle. Money aside....

I'm answering the title. It's a question. "Backup QB or Starting TE?"

I gave my 2 cents.

I really wanted folks to give answers to the question, not pose a sidebar question to the question!! Silly old bastid, create your own thread! (and then I'll merge it saying the topics are similar MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA)

Alright. Fine. I'll play by Zero's rules.

Who is more important? That's what the original said.

Still, my answer is the same. If we lose Finley, we're not entirely hosed.

If we lose Aaron, we're entirely hosed. However, Flynn is perhaps the best backup QB in the NFL. How many other backup QBs can almost keep up with Brady and can throw 6 TDs against a Playoff team?
