Jordy Nelson came on the radio and said, flat out, that the hail Mary is LUCK. I guess we could consider the likelihood that Janis is going to be the luckiest player ever based on that game but I'm not sure that's the case. 101 of Janis' 145 yards came on the final two plays of regulation. As already mentioned, 41 yards of that was luck on the final play in regulation. As for the 61 yard play on 4th-and-20, that was basically ALL Rodgers buying time from his own endzone and allowing the Cardinals to blow the coverage on Janis. Yes, Janis improved over the course of the season but there was nothing in that Cardinals game that demonstrated some marked improvement in his route running or understanding of the game.I'm not saying he's bad or that the Cardinals game wasn't exciting but the two plays which made up the vast majority of his production were mainly the product of luck and Rodgers' superlative abilities as a quarterback. He came into the league needing a ton of work, he was very raw, and he's been improving a little each year. I hope he continues to improve but I would be shocked if he's one of the top-3 receivers when the season starts (barring injuries of course).</blockquote>
