    The iPad is overkill. Janis could have made do with a paper seating chart. LOL
    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.

    • Ouch. Look at some of the receivers taken after Davante. Allen Robinson, Jarvis Landry, John Brown, Donte Moncrief, Martavis Bryant. Not necessarily giving up on Adams, but I think we missed on that pick, given who we could have had. Man that 2014 WR class was ridiculously loaded. About 10 of them are the their team's best receiver just a year later.

      • Why does Davente Adams remind me of Robert Ferguson?

        Why does Harlan's avatar remind me of Najeh Davenport?

        Why ask why?

          TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

          • I gotta bookmark this thread for Adams Pro Bowl year.
            Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

              I hope this propels that Fresno puke to multiple Pro Bowls

                Tyler Lockette just scored again for Seattle. He was my pre-draft favorite.

                • Is there a more disappointing player in the NFL this season? Allen Robinson, Jarvis Landry, John Brown, Donte Moncrief, Martavis Bryant. Ouch, what a bust this guy has become. At least he won training camp mvp! Nice pick Ted!

                  • Adams is the new Bush. Except he doesn't contribute on special teams whatsoever.

                    • I'm not ready to give up on the kid yet. It was one terrible year where he fell out of favor with his QB and possibly his Right Guard. Its been a mess, but he looked far more capable last year.

                      It takes 3 seasons to figure out a young player, he has at least one more before I am willing to declare him a fraud.

                        Well you have more optimism than I do. I see a guy that isn't fast or athletic, and has terrible hands. I'd be amazed if he turned into anything but a serviceable 4th or 5th receiver in the NFL.

                          He's not overly fast, but he's plenty athletic. His athleticism is what has put him in a position to catch potential TD passes that he's not catching. The question is why he's not catching those balls. That's what the Packers have to try to fix. A lot of people were ready to run James Jones out of here after his drops in 2010. He/they was able to fix whatever the problem was. There's still a chance with Adams.

                            The one concern I have about him is that his hands were a concern pre-draft, do I recall seeing that correctly?

                            But like all things, that can be remedied.

                              To some extent, hands were a concern.

                              http://www.draftinsider.net/reports/.../Davante-Adams

                              Positive: Two-year starter named to a several all-America teams last season after finishing the year with 131 receptions, 1718 yards, and 24 TDs. Started 13 games as a redshirt freshman and finished with 102 receptions, 1312 yards, and 14 TDs. Game-controlling receiver with potential as a number one wide out in the NFL. Quick, agile, and strong. Displays a sense of timing, gets up in a crowd, and competes to come away with the ball. Adjusts to errant throws, displays good hand/eye coordination, and uses his frame to shield defenders. Easily makes catches in stride, consistently catches the ball with his hands, and takes a pounding but holds onto the throw. Displays a sense of timing, comes back to the ball to make himself an available target, and uses his hands to separate from opponents. Does not go down without a fight, strong running after the catch and has the ability to pick up yardage.
                              Negative: At times, haphazard in his movement. Loses focus, thinks about running before he's actually caught the ball, and occasionally drops some catchable throws. Lacks the second gear and is more of a one-speed wideout.
                              Analysis: Adams has been ultra productive the past two seasons and was consistent while developing his game. He's a possession wideout for the next level with the ability to play in a variety of next level schemes.

                                Well of course as an NFL player he is athletic. But he is certainly a below average athlete at the wide receiver position. The difference between Jones and Adams is at least JJ sprinkled some brilliant plays in there. I hope I'm wrong.
