Jermichael Finley as our TE would be nice.
 

Dorsey would snap this guy up I bet.

Jermichael Finley Uncertain About Future With Green Bay Packers

http://www.onlinesportsbookpro.com/f...n-bay-packers/

sounds expensive. Get it done Andy Dorsey

Can't catch and ripped on Rodgers. No thanks.

I'm telling you, all Packers fans do is talk about how much they hate this guy and how much he drops passes. He's basically Tony Moeaki (maybe worse?) w/ a great QB throwing him the ball.

If he has trouble hanging on to a Rodgers ball, i dont like his chances here at all.

Draft a guy or pick someone up in FA... or, go with the idea i put forth a while back and transition Baldwin, he has the frame to add another ten pounds or so, put him through a blocking clinic in camp and voila... pass catching tight end.

No.

Do you really think adding 10 pounds is going to help Baldwin get separation?

Just because you're a TE doesn't mean you don't need to get separation from defenders.

ROFL

We need to draft our next HOFTE with our #1 pick.

No way in hell. Tons of talent.....to stupid to utilize it.

I really don't think it's that crazy of an assumption...Put Moeaki in Rodgers offense and you don't think he could put up Finley's numbers?

WTF has Moeaki accomplished at ANY level that leads you to this opinion?

Man, the love for JAG's on this forum is out of ****ing control.

No one mistakes Baldwin for fast, but i dont think he's so slow that he cant threaten a lot of backers and safeties, and that position has as much to do with using your frame to shield the ball to make a play on it as it does just flat out beating them in a foot race.

Crazier things have happened, a lot of people swore up and down that Hali could never play OLB, didnt have the speed... i have to believe its atleast possible.

Moeaki is a very talented pass catching TE and a decent blocker to boot. Yeah, he's been hurt his whole career, but that doesn't take away from what I've seen when he's actually on the field.

I think you're misunderstanding me though. I'm not trying to hype up Moeaki by any means. I'm saying that Finley is a mediocre tight end who's stats have been inflated because of the guy throwing him the ball. I mean, look at what happened to Dallas Clark after Peyton Manning disappeared from Indy. I've watched a lot of Jermichael Finley. He's never a guy that has jumped out at me.

Baldwin to TE?

:facepalm:

finley> brokeaki

Talent wise? Finley > a healthy Moeaki.

I can't see where he'll get a huge contract. I'm intrigued

He hasnt exactly wowed everyone at receiver, whats the harm in trying it?

Slow, oversized WR? Must be a TE!!! Worked for Teyo Johnson!!!

It's ****ing dumb.

Baldwin is about as polished as an 80 year old door knob. But, he also wasn't used for what his actual strengths are. Partly because he's a big long strider who needs a while to get up to speed and we didn't really have a use for a deep threat cause we had a shit fart turd at Qb.


That said, I'm not even sure Baldwin would excel at that.

i think he would

its essentially get him in 1 on 1 coverage deep, throw it as high and far as you can and hope Baldwin uses his size to beat whoever is covering

asking him to run an actual complex route to convert a key 3rd down or go over the middle, forget it lol

I mean really, thats what he was drafted to be. A big deep threat. Deep posts, deep outs etc.

Whats awful, is that we drafted him to do something that we weren't able to do, because we don't have someone to get it to him.


He needs to be used similarly to Vincent Jackson, (and no, he's not Vincent Jackson)

I reserve any and all judgment on Jon Baldwin.

That said, I no longer have confidence in him. Here's my equation:

only two seasons + shit QB + shit coaches - ***** drafted you = one more year on a very short leash.

not saying Jon Baldwin but I dont even think some of these Scooter picks make it out of this years training camp

I'd say thats a pretty accurate statement. Even if they mostly didn't suck shitballs, with a new FO, gonna be alot of change.

156 catches. 2,017 yards. 12 TD's.

Vs.

41 catches. 579 yards. 2 TD's.


Dwayne Bowe after two seasons, with shit at QB and shitty coaching.

Only differences are that Pioli didn't draft Bowe, and that Bowe actually has talent.

No more excuses.

It's a known fact that a Thomas Jones ass whipping sets a man back two years.

This right here shows a few things. How good Bowe was/is, and how important it is that we re sign him.

People undersell the guy so much, but he's been a ****ing stud in KC.

This. Proven time and time again.

Not being as good as Bowe doesn't mean you suck. Don't get me wrong, my expectations for Baldwin even in a new regime aren't high. Still, just because Bowe can excel in ultimate suck doesn't mean everyone can. I think with a good QB Baldwin could have an average season, but I don't see how he will ever be worth the pick we spent.

Oh hell no. He is LJ part2

Delanie Walker would be a much better option in FA in my opinion. He's more versatile, has better hands, and isn't a head case.

Better hands? Walker might have the worst hands in the league. Pretty sure he had the worst drop rate in the NFL. Finley can't catch either, but he has better hands than Walker.

I do love everything else about him though. Tough dude and does it all.

But no thanks to both. I would prefer they draft and develop a TE this year or next year. We could get by with Tony and Boss for one more year, if necessary. I'd also like to see what Tony can do with competent QB play. Will probably never be great, but I think he can be a very solid player.

Wow.:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

According to official stats, Finley and Walker both had 7 dropped passes this season. I know Finley was targeted significantly more, but Walker was also catching passes from Kaepernick who at times doesn't exactly put a lot of touch on the ball. I was probably wrong in saying he had better hands, but they aren't measurably worse.

I doubt Boss plays the game of football again. He's a walking concussion and for his safety, I hope he decides to retire. Walker is a good blocker, good route runner, and is versatile enough to line up in an H-back role if needed. I'm not saying KC should definitely sign Walker, but if they are going to spend money in FA on a TE, Walker would be my choice.

Well, we don't know if Dorsey IS or IS NOT on the Finley bandwagon after a subpar career. For all we know Dorsey could be saying "screw that idea":rolleyes:

No, it isnt ****ing dumb, stop acting like the skill set of a receiving tight end is so dissimilar from what he already is as a player.

If Reid keeps Bowe, and i believe he will put a value on the continuity and production he brings, then i dont see him wanting another big bodied possession receiver, he hasnt used guys like that since Owens.

That leaves him with two choices for Baldwin, and its not so crazy to think he might try to find another spot for him before sending him out the door.

I dont know that it will happen, but its certainly within the realm of possibilities... we'll see.

Agree. Walker would be a great addition. Much better than Finley.
