Aaron Rodgers also has small hands for a QB.

I'll have to see if I can find a piece I read back when we drafted him about his hands compared to other WR's...there were plenty with as small or smaller hands who were very successful in the NFL. As for the body catcher thing, that's what they said about Antonio Freeman when we drafted him. He turned out pretty well for us.

One thing Janis has is jets, strength and lateral agility. He should be able to make plenty people miss, run over some who don't, and run it in for 6 just like in St. Louis. I'm trying very hard to recall a player who was as electric as he was with the Pack. Randall and that play vs. New Orleans where he ran the wrong route for 6 in his NFL debut is about the closest that comes to mind. He just looked fast forward.

Clearly, Janis is a stud in the making...he doesn't get rostered last year if he wasn't thought to be because other teams were just waiting to pluck him from our PS, and our org was wise enough this time not to let that happen. It learned from it's mistake with Charles Johnson.

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."

Anyone worried about hand size should know that Davante Adams and Jeff Janis have the same size hands... 9.0"

T.Y. Hilton's hands are 8.5" and he seems to do pretty well with them.

The talk of Janis and small hands was just something to write for the "negatives" on his draft profile by Nolan Nawrocki. Janis isn't going to be successful or unsuccessful because of his hand size.

BTW, on the Rodgers hand size thing...his hands are 9 3/8"... Teddy Bridgewater who is hammered for his "tiny" hands checks in at 9 1/4". Tony Romo has 8.86" hands. Much ado about nothing. Rodgers a whole 1/4 of an inch bigger than Teddy Bridgewater.

Janis might be an all-pro and he might not ever catch more than 20 passes in this league until we see him earn some significant real playing time we don't know what he'll be. David Clowney used to rip up preseason then disappear when the real lights came on. I hope that's not the case with Janis. If Janis lives up to the hype though that's 4 deep at WR without even accounting for Abbrederis or Montgomery. That would be a hell of a roster right there. There's a lot to be excited about at the WR position for this coming season, I can't wait to see how it plays out.

David Clowney didn't even make it a half season with the Packers.

I'm willing to bet if Janis had an attitude problem, a year on the bench probably took him down a peg. I'm hoping we keep at least 6 wideouts, and if a 7th shows potential I'd rather us hold on to him the ultimately let him go to the Vikings! Isn't it about time for a roster prediction thread? haha. Less than 100 days till kick off! WOOO!

wpr (13h) : now 3

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am
wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
