Retooling the roster?

[Patler]

So you are in the camp of Janis needing to stay on the roster and given more time. Gotcha.

I'm in the camp of not giving up on him yet. He had a long way to go, and his development as a rookie was interrupted by a case of shingles that kept him out of the off season and the start of training camp. Then this year he lost all of camp and the preseason games due to the broken hand. He clearly needs work, and has missed out on a lot of it. He has shown a lot of raw potential as a receiver, return man and ST coverage guy, but clearly needs consistency.

It took Donald Driver until his 4th season before he contributed much on offense. I'm willing to give Janis this year and the next training camp.

The good thing is he's a good enough ST guy to justify a roster spot. That gives the Packers the chance to keep him around without totally wasting a roster spot and hope the light goes on eventually.
