Yep. He's the one. When the hell is the savior TE due back?Originally Posted by Joemailman
I think you mean Cal. (Trevor Davis) If he was from Stanford, he's be ready.
He would add a speed dimension. I've kind of given up on Janis. Million dollar body and a 10 cent head.
C.H.U.D.
Supposedly he shed his walking boot Tuesday.
DNP vs the Bears.
Some have him playing vs the Falcons, but he certainly should be a go for the Indy game following that one.
Lack of YAC is partially accuracy, but a lot of it are the short routes that come back to the QB. Its what they have been hitting recently, those plus back shoulder throws.
Doesn't have to be that way, inaccurate or not, Monty has 100 yards of YAC out of the backfield.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Quite a few good throws to Monty out of the backfield the last couple of games, but quite a few less than accurate throws downfield to other receivers, although this past game was a bit of an exception. Maybe hope for the future?
To be sure, there were some comeback routes, but very few back shoulders.
I didn't see the entire game Thursday night but if AR is throwing short passe and is taking what the defense is giving him I'm all for it!
Abby hurt his leg and I think went on IR this week. Banjo too. He got re-injured versus the Bears.
They are doing OK with short throws, but it was either Monty or Cobb out of backfield OR a tightly contested throw in man coverage.
Problem is that they are getting very little deep. So they get nothing easy and do not flip field position often. They have never been good at the paper cut pass offense. lack of RBs not helping.
The good thing is that Rodgers has been getting closer to hitting the deep stuff.

Janis = Schroeder v2.0
Schroeder averaged 45 receptions and 687 yards per season in 5 years with Packers.
I would be elated if Janis could come even close to that. Schroeder was nothing but average and Janis is worse.
So more like Schroeder v0.25
HOFer
more like .025
He has been a puzzle to me. I think with Nick Perry you could see that the guy, while frustrating to watch, was learning but always hurt. Always banged up. I mean, yes, it's a bit of a surprise that he's healthy and putting it all together - apparently he's got more than a bull rush now - but on the whole, you could see the guy's story was one of injury as much as anything. I still think, myself, that maybe Sherrod would've been the same story had he not wrecked his leg or knee or whatever it was.
But Janis - wow, he's still making the same mistakes he made two years ago. And the ole blocks are inexplicable - he's a big guy. He may be the classic looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane guy. It may be that this is simply who he is. A great ST player who can hang around the NFL for awhile, but a guy whose best route is the Hail Mary. If the Packers cut him, he'll get picked up in a heartbeat by some team, and some coach who knows that he's the one who can unlock all those skills.

Yeah Fritz, you got it.
The guy is still green, in his 3rd year.
His route tree looks like a flag pole.
The deep slant and the Hail Mary, that's about it.
You'd think he'd pick up something from osmosis.
He's had years of practice, mini and regular camp, film study & he still doesn't know the basics, let alone any tricks.
I saw a scouting report on him post draft. it said the reason he went to a smaller program was none of the big schools thought he'd catch on to their program 'til his senior season, if that. He's super slow learner and a mistake repeater, that guy.
Very good information I wasn't aware of. Great post.
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

So he needs some time and opportunities. Adams has had more chances by far than Janis, yet they keep him around.
He can't do it in practice either. Its kinda a problem.
Adams routinely is praised for the work he does in practice.

Apples and oranges. Adams flashed his rookie year and was hurt year two.
Kind of hard to post that after he sets an all time record at Lambeau with 10+ catches, 100+ yards and 2+ TDs?

But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

If they keep giving the fraud chances as they do, eventually shit will stick once in a while. It doesn't mean he's any good.
The Saginaw Stooge is still waiting for a breakout game. Maybe one where he actually runs his entire route every play would be a good start.
What's with the hate for my dawg, J-Jan, the hippest lad outta Detriot since Em?
Janis is a diamond in the rough, and diamonds don't form overnight. Dude ain't Greg Jennings when it comes to running routes, but he knows how to get open. Rodgers just gotta throw Janis the rock, especially when Janis is a-flyin'.
I'm not going to stop the wheel. I'm going to break the wheel.
This just hit the wire today, but not sure if its referencing Cowboys or Bears game.
