Why the generalization? Who's saying the Packers should cut Ryan Grant in favor of keeping Dimitri Nance? I know this is a long thread, but I don't recall that.

And thanks Greg C. for beating me to the punch and pointing the real doozie of bullshit in this thread. Attention gentleman:

Had Sherrod not been shifted to guard, he'd have beaten out Chad Clifton already

I mean, with Starks exploding in the play-offs the way he did last year, he's going to take some hand-offs from Grant. Hitting those incentives might become quite a bit harder that way. Going to a 2.5 mil guaranteed contract might actually be better for him. And for the organization, as well, clearing up 1 mil in cap space. It's a win-win, that way.

Now, I'm not sure if that's what really happened. Of course he should be a little anxious, but let's be honest, if he's not the best HB on the roster, he's the 2nd best. Starks has had his share of injuries and his play has been up and down. Alex Green hasn't done a thing, but seems to be the beneficiary of some green and gold goggles.

Not quite sure what Nance did to deserve that roster spot, either. Is it the 2.7 avg last year, the 7-runs sample in the pre-season this year or his non-standout practice results?

What about hitting the home run once in a while with your running back. It demoralizes a defense. I don't think Grant is that guy anymore, cause I rarely ever see him break a tackle. I'm not saying he never has, but it is rare.

Grant is more likely to bust the 20+ yard runs. I don't see Starks doing too many of them. Starks is more likely to run the first guy over. Grant is more likely to be tackled by the first guy.

Apples and oranges. We could use both styles. Grant's style is more likely to have a longer career though. Starks' style is more likely to get him injured.
