Janis is far from stupid. If they would put the same energy into him as they have Adams, he would be much farther along.

I want to know how you know exactly what's happening in the film room and on the field, etc...
What is missing?
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Game opportunities. One of the assistant coaches (Getsy? Bennett?) even said as much. There are players who are "gamers". Players who in games out perform their practiced based expectations. I think Janis shows signs of that, not just from his playoff performance, but also from his limited regular season opportunities that included several long p.i. calls on defenders who couldn't stay with him.
If he can become a 20-30 receptions guy capable of distracting the defense deep, while continuing to perform on STs like he did last year, he will be around as long as Jarrett Bush.
Fair point. What happened to him tonight?

Inactive.
Janis had his hand wrapped in ice at practice earlier this week.
I know you are just reflecting comments, so I'm just reacting to what the coach said. What took them so long to figure this out? Some people in school do all their homework assignments really well, but choke on tests because of pressure. Janis seems to not be great at process and better at product, which is part of the word production, which is what this receiving corp. needs. The threat of a vertical, take the top off, passing game would be welcome after last year's passing game fizzled midway to the end of the regular season, with few exceptions.
They have pass rush specialists who get a limited number of snaps and are just going like hell using their given abilities to get to the QB. They are not asked to stop the run, to set the edge, or to do any of the dirty work. They are paid dearly to go like hell and knock the QB off his spot, or better yet off his feet. Are they making a mistake to not get what they can out of Janis' current skill set? If he got 5-10 snaps a gvename and was able to take the top off the defense, that could even open up the middle of the field if they had to commit an extra safety over the top. Just the threat of what he could do might open things up.

I don't think many NFL rosters have a spot for someone who is a specialist who will only play 5-10 snaps a game. If the starter gets hurt you have to put in the player who will be a liability the rest of the game.
Janis has the advantage that his special teams play last year was excellent. So that extends his usefulness to at least 20 plays a game.
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.
