The end of an era in GB.

Let’s all take a moment of silence.

I thought he understood he wasn’t supposed to post here.  

 is there one packer that would start for the Vikings?

 

Nope, not yet, they usually pick up former Packers past their prime and then use them as starters, so you’re gonna have to wait

Good for Janis.  Maybe the light will go on in Cleveland for him.  (LOL)

And yes, I think the Packers can find a gunner to replace him on ST's.

Hey man, gunners don't exactly grow on trees, you know? Oh wait. Hold on. The win just blew another one of those gunners out of the oak tree across the street. Carry on!

Ideally one that could actually contribute from scrimmage.

Let's take a moment to appreciate Janis' main contributions from scrimmage in his Packer career. 

Between the playoffs regular season, Janis was active for 56 games. Let's just estimate that the offense was on field for 30 minutes of each of those games. Therefore, Janis was available to play from scrimmage for 1680 minutes of game time when the offense was on the field. In his career he had 345 receiving yards.

In the last minute of the January 2016 playoff game against the Cardinals he had 101 yards on two of the most spectacular do or die plays you'll ever see.

1 minute - 101 yards

1679 minutes - 244 yards for the rest of his career.

He outjumped a potential Hall of Fame CB (Patrick Peterson has been to the Pro Bowl every year of his 7 years in the league) for a tying TD at the gun.

I think we should talk about what would have happened to Janis' legacy had they gone for 2. 145 pages of a thread should do it this time.

Surprised the vikings didn't sign him to be their #3 receiver. He's better than anyone else on their roster, save Thielen and Diggs, including the other clown they signed today.

BTW, they also signed an LB whose name is Reshard Cliett.

So now they have a QB whose name is pronounced "semen", and a linebacker whose name is pronounced "clit".

Can't make it up.........

Well, the Packers have officially lost me as a fan. They COMPLETELY blew it with Janis. They misused him for 4GD years, and now both he and Jordy are gone. Rodgers is the problem along with McCarthy who babies him. Rodgers won't throw the ball unless completely comfortable with a receiver's routes. Favre threw to anyone who was OPEN. THAT'S the difference between those 2. Rodgers is gonna get KILLED this year for hanging on to the ball too long, due to his lack of confidence in both himself AND his receivers. He's done and so are the Packers. Our new GM SUCKS!

No, just no. How many rings does he have? How many rings does TO have?  Dez? Moss? Diva receivers don’t win championships...they destroy team chemistry. 

*cough* Gronk *cough*

That was the biggest issue with VanillaFace Run Fast Guy.  He'd make some freakin' circus catches but couldn't run a 10 yard route for ****.  

If we don't punt and don't score he will not be missed....

Marwin Evans is already passing him up on ST and he can actually play a position.  I have no problem keeping a ST who excels but VanillaFace was the epitome of blue moon highlight reel.  

I wouldn't have cared if they signed him to some deal commiserate with ST ability but listening the kvetching about his break out WR role, which never occurs, is tiring.   

My thinking is Gustenfloofer sees there are several needs to be filled and having Janis sucking up one of those spots for fading ST play makes no sense.

He was good value for a 7th rounder. ST's are part of the team as well. I watched him on a a punt coverage against The Bengals. He was great. Like a lot of times when he covered punts it took two guys to try and fight him off.It caused a fumble.

The team has moved on.

I hope we can manage to win a few games this year without Janis

Jordy was the first to go

Janis was 2nd

Fackrell will be the 3rd

Someone should give Clay a heads up, he'll be next

This is comedy gold. Favre threw to anyone that was open - actually Favre threw a lot of passes to guys that weren't open. How dare Rodgers make a calculation that throwing to a guy that might not end up where Rodgers is throwing the ball too because he runs the wrong route is a bad move.

I mean, Favre only threw 336 interceptions in 302 career games. But if a guy looked remotely open (or even if there were 3 defensive guys in the area) he threw the damn ball. Rocket ball man! That's what wins games consistently. 

Rodgers has thrown 78 interceptions in 149 games. At his current rate, he'll equal Favre's interception numbers after 657 career games (which will take him until the year 2049).

Lack of ability to contribute on offense finally caught up to Janis!. Perhaps the coaching staff in Cleveland can squeeze the greatness out of him that some fans are convinced is there.

There seems to be enthusiasm for him written here. https://www.totalpackers.com/2...-browns-pass-attack/

Sarcasm?

Janis always struck me as a physically gifted athlete who didn't understand the precision necessary to be a force in the NFL. Compare him to Donald Driver, who worked exceptionally hard to build his career. BTW, when will Driver be in the Packer HOF?
