Where does this crap come from that he can't catch? Have you seen drops either in preseason or the damn few chances he's had in the regular season? Hell No!

There's a complaint that he can't run decent routes; I haven't really seen that either. Has he had that many chances to run routes other than a fly pattern? Not in regular games, but when he did in preseason, he seemed to do fine.

I would never root for Packer injuries, but when Adams went out last week, I suddenly got hopeful. Unfortunately, it was only for a few plays.

From watching the games.
Like the one where, instead of making an over the shoulder catch, he turns around and puts one hand up as he goes backwards out of bounds.
I think the ball bounced off his hand.

Come on Nerd, haven't you learned anything from all the rocket scientists in this forum, you don't know anything by watching the game - you need to do an in depth analysis of the stat sheet after the game.

You never dare to analyze Jeff Janis because he is fast!

But is he tough, intelligent, and coordinated?
I think he's more along the lines of track stars Willie Gault and Renaldo Nehimiah than a professional pass catcher.

He cant run routes in practice; that's why he gets minimal opportunities in game!
And I broke down several route running mistakes in one of the preseason games.
Highlights included: Janis caused a pick 6 by not running his hot route and almost caused another INT on a throw to Henry in right flat.

One guy running the wrong route can sabotage an entire play, because it changes the D's post-snap movement that AR and the other WRs are expecting!

7th round draft pick in 2014.
Played at Saginaw valley St.
40 time main reason he was drafted.

Seems to me Jeff is pretty much right on schedule.

He us contributing on ST's and is getting some playing time due to injuries.

James Jones said it best "you play how you practice"

We don't get to see what goes on at practice.

All we hear are the interviews,
which are well scripted.

7th rnd pick from a small college,
probably going to take him longer to develop.

Expectations are to high
for most Packer picks , hopefully Janis will get to continue to return kickoffs.

He got the opportunity and made the best of it.

And this NEVER happened to Jerry Rice, Dez Bryant, Jordy or Megatron?
Come on man!
Pretty small sample size.
Maybe it was just another shitty throw, after all, we have seen a lot of them lately.
