[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 668168"] Abbrederis played a total of 200 snaps last season and caught 15 balls for 180 yards. On the other hand Janis had nine receptions for 224 yards on 176 snaps. Even by having two miraculous catches on Hail Marys Janis wasn't more productive than Abbrederis. There are other ways than being extremely athletic for a wide receiver to get open. According to the Packers head coach Abbrederis' route running is exemplary for a young guy and his ability to recognize coverages, his time clock, his breaking points, his ability to drop his weight is exceptional. Once again a WR doesn't have to be smart as a rocket scientist but Rodgers has made it clear that a player not knowing the playbook won't get on the field with him. I haven't seen a single poster suggesting Abbrederis will start opposite of Nelson. There's a distinct possibility he will make the final roster and stay ahead of Janis on the depth chart though. I follow several of the Packers beat reporters on Twitter and there were several reports of Janis running the wrong route. I won't go back several weeks in my timeline to find those tweets again though. I guess the play you're talking about is the one during minicamp when Janis was able to get behind the defense (something no Packers fan doubts he's capable of) but dropped a perfectly thrown ball without a defender close to him (something every Packers fan should be worried about with him). There's a huge difference in McCarthy praising Abbrederis the way he did and him talking about Janis needing to continue to progress. BTW it's his third season with the Packers so him already having started to develop is nothing to get excited about. Nelson, Cobb, Adams and Montgomery are locks to make the team as wide receivers. Janis will be part of the 53 because of his performance on special teams. With the uncertainty about his ability to play on offense it's possible the Packers will keep both Abbrederis and Davis as well. I don't expect Allison to challenge any of them for a roster spot. Janis got some playing time during the regular season, lining up on offense on 132 snaps while being targeted 12 times. He only caught two of them. While that is a small sample size that is a terrible production. There's no denying that he significantly improved during the Cardinals playoff game but fans should stop putting way too much stock into two Hail Mary plays, something an offense shouldn't be centered around. There's absolutely no doubt that if Janis fully grasps the Packers playbook at some point he would be scary good. But with him still having huge troubles completely understanding it in his third season I doubt he will ever be able to. [/QUOTE]
