Packers once again with an all black TE corps...
It appears that Aaron Rodgers is a graduate of the "Carson Palmer School of How to Undermine Fellow White Players". Who needs the media or scouts when we have QBs who don't hesitate to throw white players under the bus. Recall that even Jordy Nelson hasn't escaped this unfortunate trend, as Rodgers has mocked Jordy's speed on more than one occasion in the past. He would never, ever single out a black player like this, especially a young talent who is battling to make the team. Shameful.
From Rotoworld:
Packers second-year WR Jeff Janis is behind rookie Ty Montgomery because Janis "hasn't fully won over his quarterback yet."
Trust is critical between pass catchers and their quarterbacks. Aaron Rodgers apparently doesn't yet trust Janis enough for him to have a significant role in Green Bay's offense. "Jeff will have some great days and some days where mentally he's making too many mistakes," Rodgers said. "The talent and athleticism is there. We just need to see from all those guys battling for those two spots just some more consistency." Janis has a higher ceiling than Montgomery, but needs to start climbing the depth chart to make any 2015 fantasy noise.
The more I read/hear about Aaron Rodgers, the less I like him. Mistakes ??? Yeah, right Aaron, down with the struggle much ????
:hippie:
In my opinion, I think Rodgers is pretty neutral. In the past he's had Greg Jennings and Donald Driver take shots at him because he was critical of them. I think Aaron is just frustrated with Janis because he wants him in there, but doesn't have a convincing argument for the coaching staff to push him up. I am pretty sure Aaron misses his #1 receiver Jordy. He knows Jordy is his best receiver, not Cobb nor Parker.
I agree. Unfortunately, some of the unwarranted personal attacks on White QBs have started up again, blaming them for the personnel on their team (the "secret GM" nonsense), and for not being ideologically in sync with Caste Football (an instant career ender for any that would be).
This is a site to support White athletes who have to compete in the Caste System, not blame them for it.

You're probably right. I tend to have a hair trigger and sometimes get a little carried away due to the frustration of trying to be a fan and seeing the same BS go on for over 30 years. I guess it would be damn near impossible in this day and age for a white QB to openly and actively support the white receivers on his team like Jim Kelly used to do and not become a pariah of sorts.
Kelly was always proud to say that Don Beebe was the fastest receiver he'd ever played with and lobbied every single year for Steve Tasker to have a larger role in the team's offense which sadly didn't occur until very late in both of their careers. Kelly still says that it's a shame that Tasker didn't get to play that much as a WR and assures people that he was just as good as ANY receiver he's been around. He also tried to get them to increase Brad Lamb's role in the early 90's and was furious when they cut John Kolesar without ever really giving him a fair shot. As bad as it was already getting then, those days are long gone.
:rip:
That's quite alright Stallion. We all get carried away.
I too miss the days of Don Beebe and Steve Tasker. I remember a game way back when Lamb returned a KO for a TD. He made it seem so simple.
Yes Kelly was a great supporter of his guys, but I could never overlook his fawning of afleets such as thurman, mckellar ,reed and bruce. You know the k-gun was named after McKellar right? He wasn't even a great TE. Odd to name an offense after an average TE. Metzellars was the better TE. I guess it goes with the territory of being a starting qb. You have to play in the politics and show a neutral position.
Hey Stallion question. What was the material on Kelso helmet? He played safety for those winning Bills teams back in the day. Was it foam rubber to protect against impact during tackles?
Stallion, thanks for the info.It was exactly that, a foam-rubber cap adhered to the crown of the helmet called a Pro Cap. They still use them these days, but the design is a bit more discreet. The red helmet really enhanced the way it looked !!! Kelso had concussion problems throughout his career which eventually led to his retirement.
He's currently the color commentator for Bills radio broadcasts which is the only thing that makes them even tolerable to listen to. He's a very smart guy and the furthest thing from a Caste Clown. Each and every year he champions the cause of the few white defensive players in Bills training camp starting with the scrimmage broadcasts and his training camp reports. This year he assured the Bills incredulous MMM beat reporter that A.J. Tarpley would make the team and said he couldn't understand why B.J. Larsen didn't. Rare as well as refreshing these days !!!
There are a couple of things they can do to inject some life into the team.
First, start Jake Ryan at linebacker. His excellent performance against Carolina shows he can do the job.
Second, start Jeff Janis. The Packers receiving corps isn't playing well. Why not give Janis a chance? The Packers lost their deep threat Jordy Nelson and their current starters haven't shown they can replace him as a deep threat. Janis can. He has excellent deep speed. That alone will spread out the offense, giving more chances on the short and intermediate routes. Packers receivers aren't getting open. At the very least Janis won't do much worse than they are.
