[QUOTE="GreenBlood, post: 446772, member: 1198"] Gronkowski had gaudy stats last year because he was on a team that had basically 3 viable receiving options (him, Welker and Hernandez). Finley didn't (and won't) come anywhere near his stats because he's on a team that happens to have 5 other viable targets besides himself. And IMO Gronkidiot isn't any better anyway. If you watch what NE does with him, they use a lot of motion and shifts to try to force a linebacker to cover him. He'll win that battle all day. But he struggles to get open against safeties. Finley is different in that he has shown he can get open against LBs or safeties. As for drops... not worried about it. Last year was a fluke given his past and nobody works harder that he to improve his game (per Mike McCarthy) than Fin. He'll be fine in that regard. BTW, a lot of people faulted Jones for dropping a likely TD in the Super Bowl 2 years ago. If you will recall correctly, Gronkowski dropped a pretty easy one that would have put them in scoring position against the Giants in the last Super Bowl. I guess the grass is always greener...
