Fuck a bunch of Wells.

He 's way over-rated by everyone, imo. We can't run up the friggin' gut hardly at all, haven't been able to, and HE is this great run blocker? ( I know, I know, don't get me going about our guards, lol)

I'll give him the "football smarts", "tenacity" etc. -and at his position, that is of course very important.

I still honestly want the Pack to take their chances at this position. He's friggin' light in the trou- I like that in women-folk, not so much in NFL offensive linemen, especially Green Bay Packers offensive linemen, including the GD center.

IDK but IMHO 4.25 yds a rush is pretty good. It's not that the Packers can't run the ball, it's the fact that they just DON'T RUN IT AS MUCH AS OTHER TEAMS.
Compared to these guys you put Starks and Grant together and it's not as bad as some might think.

Micheal Turner 301attempts 1,340yds 4.5avg
Arion Foster 278attempts 1,224yds 4.4avg.
Steven Jackson 260attempts 1,145yds 4.4avg.
Frank Gore 282attempts 1,211yds 4.3avg
Marshawn Lynch 285attempts 1,204yds 4.2avg

I still say it is way to early to worry about any story that comes out.

This is how the game is played, of course Well's and his agent are going to say he deserves a top 5 C salary, I think he does, but myy opinion means squat.

Ted Thompsaon will make the decision.

Wells hasn't been anything but a class act, I am betting Ted will make him a fair offer, and they will go from there.

I don't mean to sound like an argumentative prick (even though I am one)-- but those stats you posted, contrasted with the "whole picture" - on paper-- coupled with what we all see...

It just brings to mind the old saying, "Don't blow smoke up one's ass and try and call it sunshine."

I appreciate and understand the optimism, btw.

Stats, Stats, Stats; it's all horse shit. Let's call it 4 yards a carry and the only reason it is that good is because most of the defenses we played were on their heels. Bottom line, when we NEED to run the ball, we can't and I call that pathetic.

Sticking with the OP it's cool and all to want someone better than Wells on the team but the simple fact is that there isn't anybody there currently. In my opinion it isn't really good business to try and replace somebody before you have their replacement.
