James Starks or Ryan Grant?

Sharing the load next season I'm assuming but who is considered as our number 1?

Does this mean the end of Brandon Jackson?

Not the end of Brandon Jackson.

1st/2nd Down - Grant / Starks

3rd Down - Jackson / Kuhn

I do believe that Ryan Grant will be the starter, though. That is, unless James Starks shows him up in Training Camp and plays great in the preseason.

I wouldn't mind using Jackson as a 3rd down back. If nothing else for his receiving ability.

I think the other two will split time unless one really pulls ahead.

I say let Starks and Grant battle it out in training camp. Starks has earned a chance to compete for the starting job straight up, and while Grant's got the experience that doesn't mean his job is secure. He's got to learn how to always get that extra yard or so going down that Starks does. If he can do that and hit the hole more consistently he's got the job. If Starks shows what he has in the postseason and grows a bit as a player, Grant better get used to the bench when NOT injured.

Starks and Grant will duke it out in TC for the #1 and #2 spots. I love Ryan Grant, but Starks has more upside, by far.

Brandon Jackson is a fine 3rd down back. By all means we should keep him.

Grant has one more solid year in him before he's toast, I believe.

Grant, Starks, Jackson.

Although starks played really well in the playoffs grant should start and be given the chance to play the full season as the starter.

Jackson's also our best blocker. That's very important in our scheme.

I love Starks, but have to go with Grant. Starks is tougher. Grant is faster. Starks will get us the tough yards; Grant will break the big one.
