[QUOTE="TJV, post: 477959, member: 4300"] [COLOR=windowtext][FONT=Tahoma]Rodgers and McCarthy have said Finley isn’t perceived by his teammates in the locker room as he’s perceived by many/most Packers fans. He’s young and has the ability to present matchup problems. Even when he isn’t catching passes at a minimum Finley can contribute by stretching defenses and drawing double teams. Before his season-ending injury in 2010 he looked to be on his way to fulfilling his immense potential and take his spot among the elite TEs.
