Jared will be a difference maker.

There’s a seldom-used receiver from the Green Bay Packers’ 2014 draft class who just might be able to energize their sluggish passing game late in the season.

No, it’s not Jeff Janis, the fan-favorite seventh-round pick who can’t seem to find a regular role in the offense.

Based on what Jared Abbrederis did in Sunday’s 30-20 win over the Oakland Raiders, the 2014 fifth-round pick from Wisconsin could become a bigger part of coach Mike McCarthy’s future game plans.

One of the many things that stuck out from AR's press conference. He said it in a way that almost seemed to be a shot towards Mike McCarthy for not getting him in more.

I don't know if Abby is the savior, or just a lesser evil. We seem to be in desperation mode to find someone who can catch and chew gum at the same time. With how pathetic Janis and Adams have been, Quarless and Abby suddenly become studs.

I'd have rather seen Abby than Janis.

We just need somebody on the field who puts in max effort so the Packers can at least be a threat on offense. I'll tell you right now. Nobody is afraid of Aaron Rodgers.

Rodgers is winning these games on his own because of his head, catching 12 men on the field, and throwing to receivers that are being held.

Guys like Davante Adams are hardly helping. Instead of looking for the ball, he's looking for the flag with every pass thrown to him thats more than 8 yards down the field.

Cobb is special, and he's getting his own packages. He's there primarily as a decoy and to confuse defenses, but at the end of the day he's a #2.

Jones is slow.

Janis just can't figure it out.

Abbrederis is definitely showcasing his effort and will to help out.

We need a receiver similar to Dallas' Cole Beasley... that little white guy who nobody respects. Some sort of weapon that's built the way San Diego's Danny Woodhead or NYG's Shane Vereen. Safety blanket high-effort guys. If it's Abbrederis, I'm fine with that.

In addition to Abby, we need to get Crockett in the game for some touches.

I'm just not sure Aaron Rodgers trusts many of his receivers right now. That may or may not be justifiable, but it seems to be the case.
Fan Shout
Martha Careful (34m) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity
Zero2Cool (4h) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.
CanPackFan (7h) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.
Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol
Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.
buckeyepackfan (15-May) : Let the leaks begin. Colts @ Packers week 2, Vikings @ Packers week 4

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.
Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line
Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th
Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm
Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.
beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.
beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."
beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less
beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.
Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
