He never really lived up to his potential. My recollection of Finley is that some of that was due to injury. Just when he would start flashing, he would get hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did average over 700 yards receiving those 2 years. Inconsistent maybe, but better than anything the Packers have had since. Plus, he had a QB who isn't usually enamored with the idea of throwing the ball over the middle of the field. Gotta wonder what he might have done with a QB like Brady or Rivers who loved utilizing Tight Ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I think Rodgers avoidance of going over the middle thing is a more recent development based on the ability of the options and whatever bit his arm has lost with age. He has thrown tons over the middle over the years usually on a "skinny post". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to the injury he was just coming into his own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to the injury he was just coming into his own. And we haven't hit on a third rounder since. Spoiler Jokes aside, Morgan Burnett and Ty Montgomery did in fact give us decent returns for third round picks since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Doubs looked good. Nice to have him back. Those two guys could catch a lot of passes in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I'm very excited for next season with these three rookie WRs. Bring back Lazard and call it a day at the position, whether it's Rodgers or Love behind center. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we’ll pay him either way, but if he’s back we have a better chance at a Super Bowl, but not paying Lazard puts 8-10 million somewhere else, and we can add another 2nd or 3rd round WR in the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a valid point. I like his blocking though, especially if he acts as a Big Slot for Love if we do trade Rodgers. Keeping him inside helps the shotgun running game. If Rodgers does come back, yeah we can use that on some needed upgrades at safety, or maybe get a tight end like Hurst should Cinci not resign him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uffdaswede Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Is Christian's body catching merely a superficial cosmetic flaw? To me it's a bit like banking in a three point shot...ugly but it counts. Yesterday there was one that got all the way into his belly before he wrapped it up--for a key first down. Ugly, but first-downy for sure. Does anyone have a concern that it represents a stubborn limitation for him? One that should have been coached out of him long ago?
