Jared will be a difference maker.

There’s a seldom-used receiver from the Green Bay Packers’ 2014 draft class who just might be able to energize their sluggish passing game late in the season.

No, it’s not Jeff Janis, the fan-favorite seventh-round pick who can’t seem to find a regular role in the offense.

Based on what Jared Abbrederis did in Sunday’s 30-20 win over the Oakland Raiders, the 2014 fifth-round pick from Wisconsin could become a bigger part of coach Mike McCarthy’s future game plans.

One of the many things that stuck out from AR's press conference. He said it in a way that almost seemed to be a shot towards MM for not getting him in more.

I don't know if Abby is the savior, or just a lesser evil. We seem to be in desperation mode to find someone who can catch and chew gum at the same time. With how pathetic Janis and Adams have been, Quarless and Abby suddenly become studs.

I'd have rather seen Abby than Janis.

We just need somebody on the field who puts in max effort so the Packers can at least be a threat on offense. I'll tell you right now. Nobody is afraid of Aaron Rodgers.

Rodgers is winning these games on his own because of his head, catching 12 men on the field, and throwing to receivers that are being held.

Guys like Davante Adams are hardly helping. Instead of looking for the ball, he's looking for the flag with every pass thrown to him thats more than 8 yards down the field.

Cobb is special, and he's getting his own packages. He's there primarily as a decoy and to confuse defenses, but at the end of the day he's a #2.

Jones is slow.

Janis just can't figure it out.

Abbrederis is definitely showcasing his effort and will to help out.

We need a receiver similar to Dallas' Cole Beasley... that little white guy who nobody respects. Some sort of weapon that's built the way San Diego's Danny Woodhead or NYG's Shane Vereen. Safety blanket high-effort guys. If it's Abbrederis, I'm fine with that.

In addition to Abby, we need to get Crockett in the game for some touches.

I'm just not sure Aaron Rodgers trusts many of his receivers right now. That may or may not be justifiable, but it seems to be the case.
