Thanks for that article.. Interesting stuff. Some time away will definitely be good for him.
ouch.... Clearly a QB who is not focused. Either the OL really has him nervous or he's just not mentally focused.
Read that article about how open Janis and sometimes Abbey were getting and it actually sounds like MM had a solid game plan. But Arod just really screwed up.
Looking back at the game video, there were several plays Saturday night in which the Packers had chances for good plays but Rodgers didn’t throw. Often the open man was Jeff Janis, a second-year player the Packers’ coaching staff and Rodgers clearly didn’t fully trust all season based on his performance in practice.
It makes sense that a veteran coach and quarterback would have a big problem with a receiver who doesn’t run good routes. But at a certain point, if a guy has shown he also can make plays that nobody else is making, you just have to go with it, throw him the ball and see if he learns.
When Randall Cobb’s chest injury forced the team to go with Janis as its No. 3 for the final three quarters Saturday night, he no doubt made his share of errors. But he also delivered with seven catches for 145 yards, and he and fellow second-year pro Jared Abbrederis could have done even more.
For instance, on three straight plays in the red zone at the end of the first half, Janis or Abbrederis was open but Rodgers opted to go elsewhere.
