No matter how you "spin it" NM, you saying "Starks and Nance are better than Grant" doesn't make it so.

Unless "in reality" your name is Ted Thompson or Mike McCarthy, IMHO D_S is right.

I'm glad he's the coach of the Wide Receivers. I guess you haven't gotten the memo about having a good passing game wins you more games than a good running game. =d>

I asume you're pulling the fact that Green is better out of your sweet behind. Just like you did with Starks last year.

Eventually, Green or Starks is going to end up as the 3rd down, passing situation back. If Nance makes the roster, he'll get the ball on 3rd and short or just take a carry from Grant or Starks here and there.

That is the fact that he is already the starter. You don't change the pace by bringing the same guy back in.

That should clue even you in that he isn't going anywhere. He is locked in at the starting spot.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.

I just don't really know what your problem is. Are you pissed that Greg Jennings doesn't play gunner, as well? That Charles Woodson doesn't return punts? That Clay Matthews doesn't cover on kick-offs?

Sometimes I wonder if you're just the most elaborate and subtle troll I've ever seen.

I read an article this morning about Ryan Grant saying he's okay with the salary decrease because now he's guaranteed 2.5 million. He seemed to understand the 30 year old mark for the end of the line for running backs and also stated that every player is going to be asked to leave or will be let go at some point.


Sounded like a guy who knew his time was up.
