But Q played well. Not the best blocker, but the guy had talent coming out of PSU. Just fell out a favor with JoePa due to bonehead decision, but has talent.

Quarless looks very agile out there, and he seems to have pretty good hands for a TE. I was impressed with him.

The non-TD was mostly a good play by the defender, although if the pass rush had not been on Rodgers so quickly Quarless may have had time to get some space between him and the defender, or Rodgers could have at least lofted it up into the corner of the end zone where Quarless might have had a chance to come down with it.

Quarless looks sharp, especially for a raw rookie.

I was impressed with how much faith Rodgers appeared to have in him, as well. He was getting the ball in some pretty big time situations. That's a lot of pressure for a 3-4th string player coming off the bench.

If Quarless develops to anywhere near the play maker that Finley is, does anyone actually think we will be keeping both of them? Seems to me that one might go once their contract expires, especially with the paycheck Finley is going to get.

It would be DUMB AS HELL to even CONSIDER letting Finley walk....he is going to be the best TE in the league, and I don't see Ted Thompson doing it because he drafted him.

You can never have enough play makers, so why would you even get rid of Quarless?

I'm not saying it's going to happen nor am I saying it makes sense. But if Quarless becomes a good to great TE himself, I'm just not sure both of them will stick around past their contract. It might not be Finley. Perhaps it's Quarless who doesn't get the new contract from us?

It's a completely hypothetical situation I'm presenting, but still interesting. I just have a hard time believing we would have two potentially "star" TE's on our roster past their rookie contract. Of course, if Quarless doesn't develop like it looks like he can then this will never be a problem!

If Quarless continues. I think he looks better than Finley did a this stage. And somebody lets either go. they should be canned. Finley has improved his blocking where he can be an any situation TE. Get the same from Quarless and combo would be impossible to defend.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Yeah, if Quarless continues to develop of course it would be nice to keep him. I just wonder if money will be an issue. I imagine a cap will be back in the next couple of years. Maybe we could heavily front load Finley's contract and be able to handle Quarless if and when he is ready for an extension?

My main point is we're going to have to give out a lot of money and some players are going to have to go. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

I would trade away either of our tight ends in a heartbeat for an offensive lineman who could make Aaron Rodgers feel comfortable behind the line of scrimmage.

I just don't see why people are saying trade Finley, when it's obvious he is our best threat (other than Rodgers, of course) on offense.

I wouldn't even trade him for an o-lineman. I haven't seen enough of Quarless to decide on him, but right now I wouldn't do it.

It's comparable to seeing the Cardinals with out Anquan Boldin...they're not as good (of course, they don't have Warner, but still).

I'll go back on one of my points earlier: you can never have too many weapons.

Quarless will get a chance now that Lee and Finley are going to miss significant time. Should be interesting.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
