[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 474078"] That's all fine and good. Torch Finley for unprofessional yapping. I won't disagree. Argue that he's not earning what he's paid. It would be an easy argument. Driver had 8 drops on 45 catchable balls last season according to Pro Football Focus, for a 17.8% drop rate, 6th. worse in the league, much worse than Finley this season. But since Driver is a fine gentleman and an accomplished dancer, he didn't draw a fraction of the abuse Finley has drawn this season over drops. STATS Inc. has Jimmy Graham leading the league in drops with 9 on 77 targets, a lot worse drop rate than Finley. Most of the complainers would be shocked to hear that Finley's drop count according to STATS, Inc. is 5. "NO, NO, NO...it must be more than that!", the complainers say. That's because many fans don't like the cut of his jib, so when he gets his hands on the ball, regardless of what the defender happens to do, it counts as a drop in their eyes. I'm big on eye tests, but stats help keep things in perspective. I'm not arguing that Finley is having a good year, far from it; I'm arguing that it's not as bad as the haters want to make it. And as I said in an earlier post, he's probably got some good football in front of him, but if MM is not going to put him in the progressions it might be in the interest of all concerned for him to move on. $7.5 mil is too much for a decoy, no matter how effective the decoy might be.
