Gone are the days of the RB who averages 30 - 35 touches a game.
The Packers are going to need both these guys, plus a Brandon Jackson( or BJ type).

Ryan Grant stays healthy, he will be the starter, contrary to the views of some, RG is a tough one cut, grind it out type of guy who has averaged 1200+ yds when healthy.

James Starks is going to be a star, but he does need to improve his blocking skills, also teams will have a little film on him after last years playoff run, so he will not be surprising anyone.

Not a bad thing to have more than one option at starting RB.

I've played several games with James Starks in Madden and he never got caught from behind!!!

Okay, seriously, I know what you're saying, but I wonder how many times he's broken one and he was caught from behind? I don't recall any, not saying there wasn't, just haven't seen any. I could see how he'd be caught from behind because I think he kind of runs bow-legged... if that makes sense. It's almost like he's stomping down hard, rather than being fleet of foot.

Seriously???

A - 1 for my first post?

I really don't give a cr*p about the #s (as evidence by my - 1 ing myself in the "Packers take time to help sick kids" thread), but I do try and figure out which posts have generated negative feedback so I can improve next time, but this one has me stumped.

If whoever -1'd me was just messing around, that's fine, but if you really had an issue with the post I'd truly appreciate knowing why, and maybe I can avoid repeating it next time.

He probably used up most of his -1s available from the other thread...

It would be kinda nice if you could see who was de-slapnutting you on a post...
