What's the excuse gonna be if they WASTE a healthy Abbrederis for a year? Or Montgomery? Other teams don't do that. All that gobbledegook about what "Packer receivers need to learn"? The same shit doesn't apply to other teams with young receivers? Come on!

These guys developing for a year is not wasting them; a tiny bit of growth comes on Sundays; 95+% comes M-Sat on practice field an meeting rooms; and the WR group going bowling at night and discussing their jobs.
Aaron Rodgers sat for 3 years; Wilson, Kapernick, Newton, RG3, etc played well in yr 1. It is not because Aaron Rodgers was dumber than these guys; the OCs dummied down the playbook so they could contribute. IMHO, this delays and probably will harm overall development.
Mike McCarthy could have dumbed down the playbook to get Janis on the field last year and assure Abby sees the field this year. Like other teams did for their 1st rnd WRs. One day they may need to do that, if they ever get caught w/ a bunch of young WRs.
Because the key to winning is having 1st contract studs for 3 or 4 years; maybe the playbooks should be dumbed down so that all the rookies can play in year one if physically able. Maybe that's why Seattle had a glut of great young players from 2010-2012 drafts. But last year Wilson tailed off; I think Lynch's extortion demand worked because Seattle worries that w/o Lynch Wilson is only a rich man's Taveris Jackson and that is why they haven't paid him 20+M per.
GB's 2014 O was #1 in scoring; but when you adjust for the D's rushing problems and having trouble getting off the field, as well as the O having huge leads and taking the foot off the gas; our O is by far #1. I dont think they should change the way the O is run!
