WR battle

[Cheesehead Craig]

Driver was a freak. Hope Janis makes that jump without others having injury.

Driver was a WR and worked his ass off to become a very good one. Janis has great athleticism who from reports, doesn't work very hard to be a better WR.

I don't think anyone is doubting Janis' physical ability, it's what's between his ears that many question.

I think this part is speculation. He may work super hard but still have trouble grasping things.
When I first started playing basketball in high school, I had a really difficult time with concepts. I was extremely book smart, but I just couldn't grasp court tactics. It took me well into college (watching relatively constantly) before I started picking up nuances before not caring anymore.

The point is: someone can be passionate about it and work hard at it, but sometimes some concepts are difficult to grasp. That's why people speak about a "light going on" because it suddenly makes sense. I think that's where Janis is. His interviews this year are a lot more humble, a lot more "I've got to keep working" and a lot less "I'm just waiting for the ball because I'm ready". We're still waiting for the light to go on, but I think he's finally on the right path.

Baloney. It's that stupid mustache of his that is holding him back. See, Arod wants to be the only guy on the team with that look, so he doesn"t like Janis and won"t throw to him.
