I'm talking about the character of the guy and not the means of how the Packers went and got him. Though I immediately thought of Rison once I read my post.
I'll go a step further and say there is probably a good chance Green Bay has another Marshawn Lynch like person currently in the locker room.
If this locker room can absorb it and set the guy straight, then I don't see a lot of down side in making the a deal. Again, this is purely based on Jackson struggles. If he goes out and plays well the next two weeks, Green Bay is not going to do much of anything. If he struggles and a drop off is evident, Lynch is probably the most realistic option on the table.

Guess I don't get it, because Robinson was a classy guy from everything I knew of him and about him, until his incident in Atlanta, of course. I'd like some clarification on that, cuz I'm lost.
Lynch was pretty vocal about not wanting to go to Green Bay pre-draft and I believe after the draft. I think it may have been you that quoted him as well, which is why I trusted the words.
I think Lynch is a better talent than Nance, but I'm not all that high on Lynch either. Although, I'd rather a trade for him than Maroney as was mentioned in another thread.
Don't see the point really. Can we wait and see what Jackson brings to the table before calling for his replacement?
Besides, if Green Bay were to do any trading, why settle for Lynch when they could land a better back such as Jonathan Stewart from Carolina?

He clearly said, if Jackson struggles, it's something to consider.
If it wouldn't take anything more than a 5th to get him don't you think the Broncos would have done that deal instead of giving up a 4th for Maroney?

Didn't Patriots give up a 6th plus Maroney for a 4th?
