The Green Bay Packers have been resistant to proclaiming that someone has “made the jump” or that a particular player is the offseason MVP, this year. There’s a very good reason for that. It hasn’t worked out so well in the past.
The local media — the trained dogs that they are — have also been quiet on this front. So, it made me cringe a little bit when Shawn went and labeled receiver Jeff Janis this year’s offseason MVP.
Perhaps the only saving grace here is that we said it and the Packers or the local media didn’t.
