[QUOTE="GreenBlood, post: 430073, member: 1198"] He does? How do you know? Just because Rodgers might not throw him the ball for 2 or 3 quarters doesn't mean he isn't doing his job. Rodgers doesn't play favorites with his targets and if he has Jordy or Greg open deep for 35 yards, he's not going to throw the 15 yarder over the middle to Finley just because some people think he has to match some other tight end's stats on some other team. Regardless of the outcome, teams have to account for him on every single play. YES. His knee injury most certainly affected his hands, along with the lockout. He hadn't played since early October 2010 and he had no OTA's or mini camps to get himself back on track. OTAs and mini camps involve a lot of position specific drills and workouts on specific skills. Often you'll have a day of mini camp where your receivers do nothing but run routes or catch hard throws from the jugs machines. They don't have as much time to focus on those specific things in training camp. Training camp is about teaching the team their playbooks and evaluating the roster. Drops were not a problem for him except for the KC game and the last game. What do you consider adequate [U]production[/U] for a Packer TE then? Should he be the leading receiver ahead of Jennings and Nelson? Does he have to have a minimum of 80 catches to make you happy? What's the acceptable minimum for TDs? 10? 12? Does have to have a catch on every possession? Is a minimum of 4 catches per game enough? How many yards in a game is acceptable? Here's the bottom line. He had 50+ catches, 700+ yards and 8 TDs. No other Packer TE has EVER done that. NONE. The only one that even came close was Chmura in 1995. Sounds to me like you're not happy because he's not putting up WR numbers. He's not a WR. [/QUOTE]
