As far as history of concussions and being fragile go. If I remember right, he missed 1 game in 4 years. Playing in 33 of a possible 34.

Why is it so hard to type why there are more black WR's and RB's opposed to white ones? Why? It's like the majority of you want to see the world as it you wish to see it not how it is. Ask an african american the above question...I PROMISE you won't get...VIDEO GAMES as the reason why there are so few white RB's and WR's... it certainly hasn't stopped OL and QB's from reaching the NFL. It's just the kids with all that athletic ability who are wasting it on VIDEO GAMES. I can't get enough. 😆

All that counts from the Packers point of view - with Abbrederis and maybe more so with Janis - is that he/they were bargains when Ted got them. Hell, not to open a new can of worms, but getting Michael Sam could easily turn out to be a bargain for the Rams too. I wouldn't have complained if Ted ended up getting him as a bargain and he did a good job for the Packers. Whiteness ain't the only reason for dropping in the draft.

yeah you say you are laughing but you know suburban kids sit on their fat butts and play all the time. The number of kids out for sports in middle America has plunged in the last 20 years. Rural communities are struggling to even field football teams. They are resorting to cooping with neighboring towns that were once their most bitter rival just so they can put a football team on the field. But go ahead and laugh. That doesn't change a thing.

Blacks more likely to be game consumers

Studies indicate blacks, Hispanics and those in lower socioeconomic groups play, spend more time, and buy more video games than other groups.

According to The Kaiser Family Foundation, African American youth between the ages of 8 and 18 play games 30 minutes more per day than white youth, while Hispanics play an average of 10 minutes more.


So, if black youth are playing MORE video games than white youth, how can video games be the reason there aren't more white WR's and RB's? How come there are still plenty of white QB's and OL? Is it just the really athletic white kids who are playing video games? Okay, I gotta stop.

White athletes have a stigma in the game of football and in basketball.

Take 100 random white kids and 100 random black kids and test their athleticism. Who do you think is going to come out as the more athletic group. Answer as if your life depended on getting it right. It's an easy one so you should be able to keep on livin'.

I will ask, again... Why is it so tough for white people to admit what you know is the truth? I do see many of you, here, and elsewhere living in a world that is created with false expectations and hopes. Everyone is free to live how they wish, but the Packers aren't going 19-0 and the question of black and white in the NFL is a pretty simple one as much as you just can't bring yourself to admit things.

I'm happy we drafted him, but that is a legitimate concern.

The denial is so strong that it lead someone to claim VIDEO GAMES were to blame for the lack of white WR's and RB's. That isn't the reason and no one has been brave enough to admit what is.
