You probably remember Brandon Bostick, playmaking tight end, from the preseason. You probably also remember him briefly from late last season.
In 2013, Bostick put up seven receptions, 120 yards and a touchdown in the space of a few games, before suffering a season-ending injury.
This season, he’s played only seven snaps total on offense.
Why is this significant? Because Bostick is the only true playmaking tight end the Packers have. He showed flashes of Jermichael Finley-like ability in 2013. In 2014, the Packers refuse to put him on the field on offense.
Let’s be honest here. Andrew Quarless — God’s Gifts — is solid, but will never be found making a spectacular play. He’s currently only averaging 8.9 yards per reception. Rookie Richard Rodgers, on the other hand, has no business on the field. He’s a complete liability and his rookie stupidity is going to get someone valuable hurt.
So why don’t these assholes give Bostick a chance? Pete Dougherty actually had the gall to ask tight ends coach Jerry Fontenot that.
“Physically he’s done some really good things,” Fontenot said. “It’s hard to argue what you see on tape. The other part of that — it’s hard to assess from an outside perspective what’s going on with the mental part of the game. You’ll know when I think he’s ready to be contributing at a more substantial level.”
So the coaching staff is claiming that Bostick makes too many mental mistakes. It’s been suggested that he’s not adjusting his routes properly. It’s also been suggested that he’s become complacent and feels entitled.
I’ve got two words for you.
Fuck off.
Rodgers is totally useless at this point and yet the Packers throw him out there on a weekly basis, so they can shove their mental mistakes angle up their ass. As far as the complacent or entitled angle they’re pushing, hello! Finley was your tight end of how many years?
Stupidity. Buffoonery, even.
Put the guy on the field who can make the plays!
