Report: Packers To Stand By Quarless

ESPN reports the team has no plans to cut the veteran tight end. 

Andrew Quarless isn't going anywhere. 

Rob Demovsky has the goods:

According to two sources, the Packers have no plans to release the sixth-year veteran, who was charged with a misdemeanor for discharging a firearm in public.

This development is not entirely surprising, given the state of the Packers' depth chart at the tight end position, but one does wonder if there was a bit more depth readily available if Quarless would still be a member of the Green and Gold.

Quarless was arrested this past weekend for firing a gun into the air during an argument. He was was released from custody and no future court dates have been set at this time.

Regardless, the Packers plan on keeping the veteran around for the time being. The only question that remains is what, if any, type of punishment Quarless receives from the league under the NFL's personal conduct policy.

Not suprising. Quarless deserves a chance to defend himself, hopefully there is some kind of explianation for this.

My gut is telling me that it might come to light that Andrew Quarless has a -serious- alcohol problem that he fights daily.

Remember, he got into a few incidents in college where his behavior was brutish, I believe they all involved alcohol.

My guess? Quarless has a drinking problem that he battles, the Packers know it, and Andrew fell off the wagon hard in FL and did some stupid sh**.

Again, just my gut.

As Nagler suggests, they have no TE depth. Gotta keep him. Depending on the outcome of this little foray, this will most likely be his last year in the NFL. Unless his play backs up his mouth this year.

I certainly hope the depth chart had nothing to do with this decision to stick by him.

I'm with you and I highly doubt or certainly hope depth has nothing to do with it. I think the Packers are still in the stage of getting ALL the facts more than anything else. If the depth chart at the TE position is REALLY the reason the Packers would stick with a player after a stunt like this, then the words "Packer People" have taken a big hit IMO.

well said. I think the pragmatic response is to get more facts before making a decisions, as bizarre and inexplicable as Qlueless's behavior appears to be, Get the facts is the right step.

I'm not sure if he would be or not. The biggest thing to remember with Quarless is he has been in 0 trouble before.
If he had any type of issues in the past I think they would probably let him go. But since he hasn't, I think that is the biggest reason why they are going to stay with him.

I agree with you. I love the new writers and content, just would like to keep all the other crap out of it.

Jeremy, since you name the person to whom you are referring in your link, I might point out that the person in question used to be known as Bernie the Baker. Ring any bells with you? Bernie had legendary arguments with Stroh right here on Cheeseheadtv. He changed his name and migrated to Jersey Al's site after Stroh was banned, then changed his name again and came back here. Stroh migrated to APC where he is believed to be DannyDS. Just some clarification on who originated where.

This Twins person didn't post near as much on Al's site as he has here the past couple of weeks. I've always wondered if these guys are fake, created by Nagler and Al to stir things up.

I don't think he posted under this name at Al's site and trust me, Al and Nagler don't "Create" idiots like this to Jump Start conversation.I think I know who this was on Al's site. Just don't want to say anything and be wrong, better left unsaid if not 100% correct. I think CheeseheadTV has been great since they joined forces with Al.

Dude, you have a problem with one commenter, who I guarantee has been here before under various other names and somehow that's my fault? Trolls are everywhere and they move from site to site regularly. It's a game. The good commenters on my site would always complain about the trolls here so what does any of this mean? Nothing. Nothing to do unless someone is being abusive,

Not sure if this was a reply to me, but I never said it was your fault.

The past 6 months or so, CHTV had seemed to rid itself of most of the trolls and people were really good about ignoring the few that did remain. Since the merger they seem to be back in greater force - and more people are engaging them. That's all I'm saying.

As I said, I think the new writers and content are great.

Well you kind of did, actually. I just find it quite ironic because I've always been told how the ALLGBP comment section was more civilized. Not that I was that convinced. I've had to ban people and there are idiots (in a general sense) everywhere. They do move around a lot and change names. I know that because the IP addresses are the same. Anyway, i just objected to your assertion that the comments were any different pre-merger. Maybe it was just because of the lack of offseason news - until this.

"Well you kind of did, actually."

How? When I said "pre Jersey Al days," I meant it to mark a moment in time, not assign blame. (I actually should have said "pre ALLGBP" - I mistook the name of your site. So maybe that's where the confusion is coming from? I didn't mean to call you out personally.)

I only visited ALLGBP once or twice, so I can't speak to its comment section. But I don't think there is any question that the comment sections here in the months leading up to the merger were much quieter and BS-free. Maybe it was just the off-season lull, but I think it was more because we all knew each other well and knew who was legit. With so many new commenters since the merger, I think it'll just take some time for people to figure out who is legit and who is to be ignored.

I love having you guys here. And for the most part I appreciate all the new people commenting too. Its great having more people coming in and getting different peoples perspectives.

But I agree do with what Evan is saying. The past few months, prior to when you guys came aboard, we lost a couple of the bigger known problem makers on here and Its been great. The last week or so it seems like it has turned back into a lot of the same old crap that turns away people.
I am in no way saying this is your fault. I am just agreeing with Evan that it was very nice on here not having trolls ruining comment sections.

I do really like all the content and am happy that you guys have joined ChesseheadTV.

Depends on how the provider has setup their DHCP leases, but I was talking more in terms of months. Of course, if people log on from work where they have a static IP, that's a diff story also.

In what might be deemed by some to be also ironic, I think I was the one or one of the folks who suggested ALLGBP was more civil. Looking back, I stand by that statement.

A lot of the rush to judgement, at least for me, was frustration with losing another player for stupid reasons, as well as the seriousness involving a gun. I will wait to see.

Everyone deserves their day in court, that is the American way of doing business. If found that Quarless actions are above their line the Green Bay Packers will cut him no matter the current depth chart, if not he will be expected to pay his dues to society and the NFL and return to the roster at the appropriate time. I hope we are not headed to the James Lofton, Eddie Lee Ivery, and Mossy Cade headlines again, that was a brutal time.

Long time lurker, first and last time poster. So I'm sure you wont miss me but man does this site suck now. Hard.
At least cow and his different personas was funny half the time. This new breed, mostly this thompson guy, absolutely suck. Like Jay Cutler suck. Warm can of Bud Light on a summer day suck. Mike Sherman as a GM, Bj Sander, Justin and Graham Harrell suck.
As a business owner I fully understand new markets, increased exposure, merging with a company with built in customers, ect. But sometimes change isnt for the better. Like I said, I'm sure you wont miss me. Go pack

I believe that Quarless was trying to protect those young ladies. There was a seachicken swooping down at them and Q just fired a warning shot at them. Hardly a reason to release someone.

"When Jersey Al sends its commenters, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems to us. They’re bringing politics. They’re bringing race baiting, they’re trolls…some, I assume, are good people.”

You have his back like you have the same mother. Most people hear think anybody downtown firing a gun in the early morning without a life threatening situation is an idiot. And your MM post about it being his fault and bringing up race is just stupid and ignorant in this situation. Does anyone here think when "the smoke clears" and it turns out to be a bad situation the packers may cut him?
