    Have you lost all memory of 2005-2010?

    Who is winning versus the battle against the Giants Aces? Spitz ain't falling down!

    And Janis is a Brown now. The former Packers scouting staff is using former Packers players (and mostly Packers castoffs) to bring the level of competition up to a baseline they can operate from. Familiarity? Better castoffs than other teams? Or Packers bad at recognizing their own (cue "Janis is an All-Pro talent")?
    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

    We'll never recover from losing our 6th best option at WR. We are in full rebuild mode.

    Glad you got paid JJ; wish you well

    But won't miss you
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    It's like the Packers had a garage sale and Cleveland bought everything.

    There is something missing from Janis. He was a terror in High school, big numbers, etc. But no big school would give him a ride. His measurables were great for the NFL draft, but he was a 7th rnd pick.

    In his 4 years as a WR, he only caught 17 passes for one TD (Post season he grabbed 7 balls for 2 TD's) He had a route tree that looked like a flag pole. That said, he was one of the best gunners I've ever seen.

    Brown HC Hue Jackson is an old OC. One of Jackson's strengths is finding out a player's abilities and maximizing those attributes into his schemes on O. Maybe he can do that with Jeff J.

    I was about to write that scouts and GMs have sleepless nights about Janis and this type of outcome, but he was a low round pick, so not exactly Willis Adams.

    However, KYP makes a tremendous point. Something has been weird about his career since High School apparently and people watching noticed.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    The way Jeff Janis ran routes in Green Bay ...I'll be surprised if he can find his way too Cleveland.

    Yep, run it up the flagpole 3-4 times a game and see who salutes.

    " The wrong Target Brett ! " Freak Out.

    Brett needed to use his transitions.

    1.) Pass right ..NO WAY te coverage was over the top too tight.

    2.) Flip the ball to the guy right in front of you for an easy first down, as he catches the soft pass and turns it upfield for Ten Plus.

    3. ) Look center(not bad) ... 4. ) look left (Nope that pass attempt likely gets blocked).

    Take the too easy 2.) Option.

    All of that is easy to analyze in the Film Room. Yet in the heat band under the gun...it gets to mind over matter.

    Favre had 'the Blinders on' and somehow believed his arm would carry the moment. His brain 'on that play' wasn't faster than his strong arm mentality.

    Wasn’t special is a nice way of saying below average?

    Had Janis been given the opportunities that Adams was it may be a different story. Stubby would let the fraud fuck up numerous times a game and he still got to play. Janis even thought about screwing up and stubby wouldn't play him.
