Jermichael Finley is off to a great start

Much was written last week when Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy was proud of Jermichael Finley for keeping his nose to the grindstone and out of social media. It was a new Finley we were going to be seeing — one that will dominate from the tight end position, and one that will pick [...]

It sucks that Finley was the only one to drop a pass.

Oh no... he dropped a pass... alas the world we know it is over. 🙄

I seriously don't get the hard on some have for this guy to fail. Sure he showed signs of immaturity so far in his career... but honestly the guy is what 24 now. Hell, if I had a camera in my face x amount of hours a week when I was 21 through 25 I would probably make Finley look like a poster boy for maturity.

The guy has made a ton of big plays for our football team and isn't perfect.. hell there wasn't a receiver we have had in the past couple season, even with the accolades, in which a receiver hasn't been prone to the drops. But yet some seem to want to single out Finley.. James Jones did get a certain level of criticism, but not to the level this kid has gotten.

No player is perfect.. get over it.

Apparently I need to visit LombardiAve less if this is the angle of their articles.. weak.

Randall Cobb dropped a pass at Family Night as well. Maybe they should write an article about that.

I am fed up with his mouth and just want to see him perform. I guess dropping a pass in pre-season is not the end of the world, but it is time for the guy to just be consistent and show he deserves 8 million or more a season.

no more excuses, just let your play on the field define you, not your social media posts.

So if you meet me Have some courtesy, Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse, Or I'll lay your soul to waste

There have been numerous occassions of Finley catching touchdowns against the #1 defense, including today's practice.

To some degree, Finley brings this on himself with his smack talking. Cobb doesn't talk about how he's going to "take over the league." So he doesn't get as much negative attention.

That said, I'm starting to feel putting a sock in Finley's mouth effects his performance on the field. It could be a mental thing, where Finley gets up, talks some shit and spurs himself on to perform. Muhammed Ali was like that. He'd talk shit, but he was really psyching himself up (and his opponent out). Without that, he might not have been in the zone.

Either way, Finley needs to find a way to get into that zone.
