For Fu
ck sakes people are blowing his personality and this projected "diva-esq" behavior way way way way way out of proportion. Finley is not your typical lunch pail packer, but he's not a Terrell Owens "It's all about me" player by any stretch of imagination. People need to get off the guys case. He's an incredible talent and we can't afford to lose him. Even if he has a 3 game streak of zero catches, he's creating opportunities for other guys to make plays. Something Crabtree, Quarless and Williams just can't do. Period
Finley just wants to prove he's worthy of a healthy contract. The guys has not played a full season since he was drafted. He just wants to prove himself and there is really no better way of doing that than asking for more opportunities. Apparently he's already chatted with MM and he won't be opening his mouth anymore. Now he just has to perform which shouldn't be hard for him to do.
I normally trust what TT does, but I can't support getting rid of Finley. It'd be a huge mistake.
Plus with Quarless and DJ Williams as two TE's who will improve in the passing game, Finley is more or less disposable.
Son, you must be high if you think any of those guys compare to Finley.
Williams, Quarless and Crabtree are Tight Ends. Finley is an over sized Wide Receiver playing tight end. Their talents and abilities as players are not even in the slightest comparable. Apples and Oranges.
