It's not unlike the Brees vs. Rodgers comparison from last year. Brees had yardage (quantity stat) but Rodgers had better yards per attempt (quality stat). Similarly impressive, he was 11th among all pass catchers for Touchdowns. (If you just put Finley on the WR list, he's tied at 9th with big names such as Fitzgerald, White, etc. Obviously, we also have to put the 2 TEs that topped Finley on that list to be fair.) The tight ends that rank higher that Finley are Gronk and Graham. That's why I'd say he's 3rd best on paper.  Now, if he could fix his drops, he'd be great again.</blockquote>
