And if Packers trainers knew what a torn ACL looks like, he could still be here and making this offense even better.

kinda inspires confidence to miss something like that, doesn't it?

You have to wonder how they could tell Shields has a concussion when they aren't sure what a head looks like.

[Tyrion Lannister]

Charles Johnson has it.

I bet they have some training:

[Teamcheez1]

Charles Johnson has 17 career catches. I'm not ready to call that "ascending".

And here Ted spends valuable time making up injuries to stuff guys on IR and they missed the easiest one.

Look at who throws to him. Bridgewater may be better than Ponder, but just how many times did he miss an open Johnson in just the Packers game.

[smuggler]

Seem to recall Chuck dropped one in that game, also...

As for missing the ACL tear, it's not as hard as you'd think. Slight tear that's still largely functional and has very muted symptoms... It was embarrassing at the time because our medical staff also botched a diagnosis on Jennings.

Johnson looks solid, but I'll take Adams and smile. :3

I dunno. Maybe Adams and Johnson instead of Adams and Boykin?

They seemed to have chosen that Maryland kid (he's on IR now) instead of Johnson back then. Mighta been the wrong choice.

My thoughts exactly. When he has more than 50 catches in a season then I will care.

I'm waiting for KY to chime in - he's got some pretty strong opinions on what a tool (as opposed to the 'toolbelt' that Chastin West was ) he is, and that he's likely to self-destruct or talk his way out of the dressing room.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Johnson's been targeted by default. Patterson is real close to that "bust" label as he has issues with physical DBs, is a poor route runner and pouts. Jennings is mailing it in and collecting his checks until he can get out of there. There really is no other alternative.

[Fritz]

For a hot minute the talk from national announcers was that once Cordarelle Patterson learned to run some routes, which was supposed to come via simple experience playing, that he would be the next big receiver in the NFL. This upward trajectory seems to have been cut short. I wonder what happened, or if it's all manufactured perceptions?
