Davante Adams is the Packers #1 wide receiver. Who wants to argue that?

I've never dislike Adams that much, other than I thought they should of benched him last year because he's ankle was clearly not healthy... he was trying hard but making route cuts was clearly killing him and by the second or third cut he was done on a play. Adams is like James Jones in some ways... I don't think he'll ever be a true #1 but he can be successful as a good depth guy.
Though when he gets the ball in his hands and the defender is trying to contain him, I hate how he always stops, does a little shake to see if he can lose the defender and then stops again to looks to set up a second shake... that defender has ten friends on the field and this is the NFL... they're going to get to you before you set up your second shake... especially if you keep stopping before the set up. Either need to get rid of the stop and make the set-up one fluid motion or always go on the first shake (or maybe even not shake at times... mix it up, once in a while put your shoulder into his chest, and if you're successful, that will add extra reaction time for the defender which will give your shake change a higher change of working.
