Yeah, a passing offense, and Starks is a pass catching RB. I know, Bjax can catch if needed but it's far from his specialty.

On the question of, "Will he play on Sunday?", what if we get a good lead and get to bench Rodgers out of luxury in the fourth quarter, do we then get to see Starks carry the ball as well? I am hoping for that this weekend.

Starks needs to compete better.

Yeah, I was going to say, "He doesn't seem to be competing very well."

Does anyone have more details in Starks' status or how he is looking in practice?

He has plenty of play book left to learn, however, I'd think we'd benefit from at least seeing how he handles the NFL on Sunday at some point throughout the rest of the season. Mind you, I'm riding the Starks' excitement bandwagon here and can only imagine that he can't be any worse that what we already have at RB. QB protection is the biggest risk, yet I suspect that there have to be some plays where we can get him on the field.

From Mike McCarthy presser  this afternoon..


RB James Starks may have to be active this week. Asked if he was ready, McCarthy said, "He better be."




* Edit.. Forgot the ever precious link. 😉

This guy has had nothing but time to understand and learn the playbook. He should be ready, maybe not physically but knowing his responsibilities.

I am hoping he is more of a Terrell Davis than an AP. AP has way too many runs under 3 yards and pumps up his per cary average on 2-3 big carries a game.

That is why he gets taken out when you need to produce. In the first 3 quarters, you can feed AP the ball and eventually he breaks one. But 3rd down in the 4th quarter, when you have to get 4 yards and you have one shot at it, AP is not the guy you want in there. He will not get it 9 out of 10 times. His value is in the break away run, that is where he is effective. The problem is, it's a low percentage shot. That is why they have failed at short yardage so much this year. They don't have an experienced 3rd down and short yardage back.

Grant had solid consistent production with few breakaway runs. With that we can move the chains, grind out long drives and eat up clock.

Peterson can't do that. Production wise he is more like Barry Sanders. Who, as we all know, did not win a ring. Even though he is the best running back ever. In my opinion.

I would rather they get a ring.

Are you seroius?

You are comparing AP and Davis and hoping Starks compares to one of them???

AP - 1st rounder out of OU played in the Big 12
Davis - 6th rounder out of UGA played in the SEC
Starks - 6th rounder played in the Mid america Conference

Is there really a comparison? I am just hoping the kid can stay on the field and healthy. anything after is all good.

This is an older post but come on man. It's pretty fucking obvious he was saying he hopes Starks could be consistent in getting yardage like TD as opposed to a boom or bust type runner like AP. At no point is there a comparison made as to the skillset and abilities of Starks vs the other two.

Huh?

Starks is going to be better than AP and Davis. Combined.

That 4th and 1 where Rodgers fumbled and turned the ball over to Atlanta, Starks could have moonwalked that one in backwards carrying all 11 Atlanta Falcon defenders while singing "Amazing Grace" through his nose.

Starks is so good, he could have gotten us that 4th and 1 from the inactive list, but Mike McCarthy told him to sit still 'cause he wants to keep him under wraps for the stretch run.
