He's also much slower. Grant would have gone through the same enormous hole that Jackson did at the beginning of the game, the only difference is the play would have ended in +6.

Enormous? Grant doesn't make it through that hole, or at best is falling down about 6-8 yards with his legs getting touched.

He hits hard. He can also make cuts and break ankles. Last year he didn't have these abilities. The first half of the Eagles game, short a sample as it may have been, he was doing both of these again.
I like how Jackson played today, but I simply do not believe that he is better than Grant, I mean seriously lets not get too carried away after one game.

They are just different styles. Grant works great with the stretch plays but he runs with to much lean and gets tripped up easy and limits his cut angles.

Honestly, I go with the game plan. If coach runs it, then Ive got to take advantage of my opportunities. Were a pass-first, run-next team, and whenever he calls my number, Ive got to contribute.

I appreciate this quote. I do sincerely like that he is a team player, thats awesome. Idk why it is but I am particularly sensitive to people who show-boat. Great attitude to have, and I hope it's contagious.

AMAZING how people jump right back on the band-wagon of saying BJack is better than Grant after ONE game.

Just last week people were saying that we shouldn't even re-sign him after this season.

CAN SOME OF YOU MAKE UP YOUR MINDS, PLEASE!?!?

Ryan Grant is a top 10 NFL RB. Brandon Jackson is probably a top 30 NFL RB. Or, somewhere around there.

I think you are talking about different cut. Grant is great at the stretch see the hole 1 cut and go plays. He isn't shifty after that though. Jackson has more wiggle in his running. Mostly because Grant once that first cut is done, runs with lean that makes more cutting difficult but lays some power when making contact.

Everybody myself included talks about how slow Jackson is. After watching the replay of his 71 yarder, which just happens to be a longer run than Grant ever had. Is he really that slow?

On that run it took 60 yards for Landy and Hall to catch him. Aren't those two both pretty fast guys. It wasn't like Fat Pat Williams caught him. Hall was already moving in that general direction already. Really seemed like some decent speed minimum.

beast (2h) : If they aren't doing it, then why are you assuming they know how to do it?

dfosterf (7h) : Mackelvie

dfosterf (7h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (7h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (12h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (15h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (16h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (17h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (17h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (17h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (19h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
