Quarless is not as big or as athletic as Finley. Let’s keep it real here. With Finley down, Quarless had a much bigger opportunity for a good season than Finley did his rookie year. He dropped balls in key situations, again and again. Don’t get me wrong. I still think Finley and Quarless are both keepers, but I’m just saying Quarless needs to perform better this year or DJ Williams could push him for playing time. If any of these guys can block, Crabtreee could be in trouble.

Keep Finley and use him for 3rd down/goalline situations so he doesn’t wear down his body and so Aaron doesn’t force it to him on every down.

I submit to you that Quinn Johnson, Korey Hall or John Kuhn are three people who are more likely on the bubble than the TE group. I think McCarthy likes to use more formations with that group and will petition to keep 4 of them with Havner being left out. He will probably be OK with one of the FB’s being gone…but Ted will do what he wants and MCCarthy will create offenses based upon who makes the final cuts.

Finley has to make it through an entire season before I’m ready to accept the warts he’s got – those that everyone has already pointed out. I do like watching him out run a LB or dwarf a safety, though.

As for Lee Vs. Underwood, Lee played in the super bowl after Wood and Shields got hurt. I’m not sure Underwood was even active. If he was, then he played ST only. I therefore think Lee has the leg up on Underwood – but both are certainly not locks to make the final roster. I can easily see TT picking up a waiver or UDFA (if the league allows it).

I think Kuhn has the most value to the Packers. I can’t see too many other teams using him like we have.

Agreed. Finely is not an auto roster spot forever. He’s got a Shiu attitude and gets hurt every year. Also him going down was paramount to Aaron having the year he did.

I agree about Finley. His head is too big for the numbers he’s given us. TT isn’t big on players with additudes like his… If he gets traded you won’t hear any complaining outta me!

Lets be honest and real here.Finleys star rating is based still on perception of what can/may be achieved by him.Realistically,injuries,games missed and an attitude problem and how he adjusts to not being Rodgers primary (which hurt us last season early) will dictate and more possibly earn him his passport to another destination.
One of the biggest problems in giving “Gold Stars “to those who have only given “Silver” effort.

No one guy is bigger than the team and Finley may be the so called big guy to learn that sooner than some may believe.IMO of coarse.

i would hope they arent even considering dropping quarless or finley……..EVER. these two guys are very special athletes. quarless got a lot of experience last year as a rookie and he’s gonna be a star just like finley. i just have a weird feeling about dj williams that he’s going to be an amazing weapon for us. like a dallas clark. The Big Mac loves his tight ends and its gonna be hell for opposing defenses to prepare for THE PACK!! i love being a packers fan

Andrew Quarless is (according to combine bio) biggger, faster, and stronger than Finley, and had a FAR more productive rookie campaign. He is a lock.
