I'm not optimistic.

When does the draft guide come out?

I'm hopeful now. I was over confident last year when we picked him up. He wants to succeed and seems prideful. I hope this means he works his butt off to improve over last year. I'm sure he felt some of the come to jesus stuff that all rookies feel. No longer the big dog, but fighting for floor droppings. We sure need him to succeed. I'm rooting for him on a personal level, seems like a good person. If he doesn't show significant improvement, cut bait and move on. GPG!

I remember a few years back the Packers had RB Brandon Jackson. I didn't like him from the first few games. Whatever "it" is. He didn't have it it my eyes. I debated on a different board all year long how he was not going to be here long as others said he just needs to be given a chance. I see the same thing with Amari. Some players struggle, but you can see the potential there and are worth working through issues. I'm with the Great YA Tittle. I'm not optimistic.

Rodgers didn't get very many snaps from scrimmage. His main job was catching punts and he didn't do a real good job of that.

But in college, he was a very good receiver. I'm sure he hasn't forgotten how to play, and I think he'll get more opportunities this year and he'll be fine.

As regards punts, why on Earth would you put a rookie back as punt catcher? Are you just begging them to screw you?

Amari might have been the who they needed when Cobb went down...but because Cobb was playing, Aaron had not groomed Amari and so he was not ready when he was needed most down the stretch.
But this can be a brand new year and a breakout one at that.
But its very much up to Aaron Rodgers. Does he want to be the GM or the QB?
The real irony is that Cobb had been let go because his availability was compromised every year by injury. And that is precisely what happened again last year. Rodgers insisted on his best friend being signed and he got his wish.
Be careful what you wish for.

I’m not counting on him.

I’m excited to see what Amari does in year 2. To my eyes, it looked like he played a little heavier as a rookie and I think that took away a bit from his quickness and explosion.
I think he rocked-up a bit thinking that he’d need it in the NFL. Now that he has a year under his belt, he’ll know how to prepare his body to perform. Plus he’ll clearly be motivated
He can play. The tape doesn’t lie. He just needs to get himself right and own it.

Much needed perspective on Amari and where he’s at. Too much superstar hype for a third rounder to start the year, which led to a fan backlash when he didn’t have instant success. As the article states time will tell, but he stood out in the final game special teams debacle by fielding the ball cleanly and not being part of the problem for that game. Slight improvement after a rough year means We should not give up on him.

"It's easy to forget how excited we all were when the Packers drafted him a year ago. "

There were a lot of us who were underwhelmed, too. It's one thing to do it in college with a supporting cast full of future NFL players, playing with other outstanding skill position guys, and catching passes from a future #1overall pick at QB. It's easy for me to MMQB this pick, but there were several of us who saw it as BG grasping at a WR prospect who underwhelmed athletically, and had been attached to the Packers early in the draft process as possibly the last of the WR they had with a grade anywhere near the top 3 rounds.

He might develop, but we all saw what we saw last year, and that was a guy who looked like the game was too big for him time...after time...

I agree. While I was not enamored with him, he still has potential. My personal opinion is that Aaron Rodgers prefers the long ball and a slot WR is only a check down in his mind. Of course even then it was Adams who was probably primarily. That with the fact that Aaron did not have much time with him because he avoided camp and later many practices due to his foot injury tells me that things did not click. I expect to see more balls thrown more his way this year. Now all AmRodgers has to do is get open and catch them. Having a year in the offense should help.

Amari Rodgers definitely looked quicker and more explosive in his highlight reel. Amari looked really slow last year. I am certainly hoping he comes back and is ready to go this year, but MaLF himself admitted we need more speed, so drafting a couple guys (Velus Jones Jr. and Danny Gray) with blazing speed is an immediate upgrade, even if Amari were to develop into a viable NFL WR. Or maybe the competition between them will let the cream rise to the top?

I was surprised when they drafted Amari, especially when they traded up to get him. If he had world class speed I could understand the move up, but as slow as he looked last year, it is safe to say he doesn't have world-class speed.

It usually takes a WR three years to really start to come into their own. There were a lot of people who wanted to just cut ties with Adams after his second year. Jordy Nelson didn't become a big time receiver until his fourth year. Donald Driver is the same story. Greg Jennings is the exception, getting over 900 yards his second year, then really taking off. So, what can we learn from this? Patience. We all look at Chase or Jefferson and somehow think that is normal. It's not. So, relax. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Hopefully Rodgers shows some improvement this year, and blossoms next year. If not, then it would be time to consider moving on from him. But certainly not before.

It's premature to give up on Amari. More opportunities on offense and finding better ways to use him should help. Give him a heavy workload in preseason and hope he's ready to step in for Cobb should the need arise. Forget about punt returns; he's neither fast nor decisive enough. You'd hate to see another addition to the third-round scrapheap, so give him every chance you can to succeed.

"It's easy to forget how excited we all were when the Packers drafted him a year ago. When he was first drafted, he garnered comparisons to Randall Cobb, who was an incredibly explosive player during his first few seasons in the green and yellow."

The draft is sometimes referred to as "The Crap Shoot" and you don't win them all. I also remember how I excited I was when the Packers drafted Tony Mandarich who was labeled by some as the best offensive lineman prospect of all time. 1989 is often labeled as the best draft class in the NFL with Troy Aikman, Barry Sanders, Deion Sanders, and Derrick Thomas, all Hall of Famers. We picked second in the draft, but struck out with Mandarich. My excitement waned that summer camp in 1989 when I first saw him off steriods and working out against our defense.

Real Good Article ! Been watching since we drafted James Lofton. Give Amari a chance.

We see it all the time where fans immediately want to write a player off. Even sometimes before they ever don a Packer jersey because some internet expert, or some mock draft simulator rates a player a certain way. LOL!

In recent years, guys like Gary, Love, Amari and so on have been written off after a year or two. I have confidence that Amari will develop just like Love is developing, and just like Gary developed. If the player has heart and desire with good coaching the probability they continue to develop is most likely. Because how long it usually takes WR's and TE's to develop in the NFL is why I want to see Gutey take at least 3 WR's and 1 TE this season instead of only a couple this year and maybe another one or two next year.

There is a very good possibility the Packers draft up to three WR's and maybe at least one TE. Add Amari to this mix and Rodgers and Love need to go out of their way to practice with these players getting them ready. If Rodgers doesn't do it I sure hope Love takes the initiative. Would be very interesting should Love and not Rodgers takes initiative and practices with some of these players offseason.

I still think based on his dumb ass moves trying to run back kick offts that he lacks intellegence. He just doesnt get it. I say put a fork in the guy and you'll get what you thought, he wont work out.

They need to split time with Rodgers & Cobb in the slot.

Give Amari more reps this year and see what he can do as a WR.

Find someone else to return punts.

Less reps for Cobb might keep him healthy for a full season, so this could be beneficial for both players.

Folks this guy was a good player in college and he will be a good player for the Packers. He didn't get much of a chance to play last year other than kick returns which he did not do much in college. He is more of a possesion receiver who get open and makes big plays. A kickoff/punt returner has to be quick twitch and fearless. Amari is not twitchy but very consistant. Give him a chance.
