Question will be...is he 3rd or 4th on the depth chart when he comes back?

Like others have said he missed all of his senior year due to injury I personally don't think he is going to contribute much at all this year. I hope I am wrong but I just don't see it.

I believe he will be 3rd on the DC for this year (with Grant out). I suppose you could consider Kuhn ahead of him, but I would put Starks ahead of him, as I would like to just keep Kuhn at FB, getting carries every once in awhile.

Thing about Starks is he can CATCH the ball. I mean well. This is something none of our other RBs are capable of. Yes I know, Bjack can "catch." But he's not a guy who's gonna beat you doing that.
Starks can catch the ball like a reciever, and he's got speed to take it to the house anytime. You can't coach speed. He can also make people miss.
If Nance can contribute after a week, Sparks can work in on some screens, at minimum.

The good news is Starks has been in on all the RB meetings, tape sessions etc. He should have the playbook and terminology down by now and certainly by the time he comes back. As has been said if Nance can play after a week in the system, Starks should be able to do something on his return, even if it's only some basic packages.

By the playoffs Starks could potentially be 2nd on the DC behind BJax and ahead of Kuhn and Nance. But it's all speculation at this stage.

Agreed. I'm not looking for him to be picking up blitzers as the 3rd down back in the playoffs. But I think he could contribute.

Yeah, I don't think most of us are talking about him being a major factor. But bring him in slowly, a couple of plays a game, and after a few weeks of getting reps in practice, he might be able to provide a solid 5-10 plays a game towards the end of the season. Who knows, maybe he even offers something on special teams as well? Sounds like a pretty good idea to me.

I don't think the front office is relying on Starks as "the answer" at this point though. Give me a break. We're just talking about a few plays a game and depth.

I definitely think that he would offer more than Dimitri Nance. Starks knows all of our plays, and I believe that he has a better skill-set.

I see Nance being cut in favor of him.

I hope Starks is 100% healthy when he comes off PUP after week 6. The Pack sure needs a spark in their running game.

Zero2Cool (5h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (8h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (8h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (11h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (11h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
