Greg Jennings posted his highest TD total in his 2nd year from a small school. He had 12 that year and 12 later in his career. Was 80 yards short of 1000 but only had 53 receptions year 2. Greg did average more YPC in his 2nd year than he has the rest of his career. (17.4)

So, the 2nd year jump for Janis should be more than possible but he won't be a top target most likely. Would like to see him deep on the fine nine route a few times, though.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I am very surprised we didn't try that or at least tested it at some point during the season. Even if the defenses suspected what we were running, it would open the field up for the underneath stuff.

I would have liked to see how Janis would have altered the Seahawks CBs.

Had Janis and Adams switched draft position, their playing time would've flip flopped. The common response would be...yeah, but that's why they were drafted where they were...one guy was better than the other. I don't know about that. Davante played in some crazy throw it all over the field O at Fresno and Janis came from the little leagues but like Texas said... Janis in his brief window on our TV's looked special and Davante just looks like any other WR we've had here in the past that wasn't top flight.

Look at Flynn winning the back up spot over Brohm as a rookie or Bakhtiari playing LT as a 4th round rookie. Most likely Janis just needed more time to learn how to play in the NFL than Adams did. I hope he learned a lot last year because McCarthy and Rodgers will use him if he actually turns out to be an NFL quality WR.

Or maybe the guy who sees him every day knows a bit more than a know-it-all on a forum.

Just because Boykin had a shitty season does not mean the guy on the bench behind him was a better or equal player. After a shitty season the guy was let go, the fact that the guy behind him was not makes no difference.

It will be an interesting group to watch in the preseason. There's a chance they only keep 5, and then barring injury it would come down to :
Janis OR Abbrederis OR Myles White OR any of the undrafted guys.

Jared Abbrederis was penciled in as returner last season over someone else and then he busted his ACL. So, it is funny to see new season, new player supposedly replacing old player with no regard to giving the returning player much chance. Specifically, now we have some saying Ty Montgomery is going to be the returner and not Abbrederis. Wait, what??? lol
