I promised the people in my Friday chat I'd do a little research on Andrew Quarless, so here it is. Quarless was the primary tight end for the Packers following the injury to Jermichael Finley, which makes sense since he was their No. 2 tight end going into last week's game.
After watching some snaps of his this year I found Quarless to be well sized but not fast. That might be because of knee surgery for a torn ACL in 2012. His hands are all right.
The reality is that he's no different than Jarrett Boykin was last week: Any opportunity to play a lot with Aaron Rodgers could result in some good numbers. Finley had 5.7 targets per game this year -- a number that could apply to Quarless for the foreseeable future. The only catch is that the Packers have another tight end named Brandon Bostick who could swipe some work, though he's considered fairly raw.
