[QUOTE="GoPGo, post: 610731, member: 9064"] Then I assume you won't be touting anything Abbrederis does in preseason or practice either? You know, since that's all irrelevant and all. That's because the Packers were impressed with his potential. If he sucks so bad, as you claim. Why did the Packers keep him then? Why are you the only one on here who apparently despises the man and never has ANYTHING positive to say about him. And so far those concerns have been proven accurate. If a player can't stay healthy, what good is he? And that's not the only concern. How about the fact that he is so weak he could only bench press 225 lbs. [I]four [/I]times?! There's also the fact that he struggles against press coverage (again related to his lack of strength). He was only projected to be anywhere from a late 3rd round pick to an early 5th round pick, so he didn't really "fall" very far. Seriously, you can give the whole "lack of production vs any good teams" B.S. a rest. There were more than 100 NFL players last year from D-II schools, so NFL teams recognize there is talent there to be found whether you think so or not. Some prime examples are John Kuhn, Jacoby Jones, Vincent Jackson, Danny Woodhead, Danieal Manning, Brent Grimes, Jahri Evans and Joique Bell. Pierre Garcon played D-III. Tell me... what kind of competition did THEY play against in college? NFL teams were wise enough not to hold that against those guys and the Packers aren't holding it against Janis either, no matter how much you wish they would. No, I have never heard of Frankenlust Township. I simply choose to recognize talent when I see it. Yeah, Janis is raw, but he's smart, he's an absolute freak athletically and he's a damn hard worker by ALL accounts from those who actually know him. And at this point, as a professional, he's more polished than Abbrederis. [/QUOTE]
