Who's better.. yada yada yada.. rabble rabble rabble..

They both provided spark and tough yards last night.. color me not interested in needing to prop one up over the other.

I would rather have both and Green to utilize during the game in situations and let the both provide the team with some much needed yards on the ground.

This is a hell of a lot better situation than our options last season.. lol.

The only thing that really bothered me about Grant last night was that beautifully set up screen pass. Instead of cutting it straight upfield he angled like 4 or 5 yards outside toward the only defender that was even close.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, didn't read through the entire thread. But I feel this may be the most telling stat regarding this topic, even if it is just one game.

Ryan Grant played 17 snaps.
James Starks played 47.

That is if you are going to try an draw a conclusion from a single game and game plan.

12 carries to 47 snaps verse 9 carries to 17 snaps would suggest that Grant is the preferred rushing back.. under the same subset.

Of course that would probably hold be inconclusive over the course of the season.. but..

Too bad hitting a tapeworm with a hammer wouldn't actually kill it. :-"

The game against the Saints ... I thought James Starks looked more like a professional running back than Ryan Grant. Starks looked like he belonged and Grant looked like he fighting to achieve legitimacy.

I really hate the "vs." in this thread title.

They both looked good, but Starks looked better running the ball. He's just so strong.

Nerdmann is convinced that Ryan Grant is bad in pass protection because he hasn't been awarded the third down RB job, but here's the real reason he hasn't won the third down RB job: He is the #1 RB. To move to third down RB would be a demotion for him. He is pretty good in pass protection--always has been. And he looks way better at it than Starks at this point.

However, Starks is younger and has more upside and is in the process of passing Grant up right now as an overall RB, if he hasn't done it already. It would be great to have both of them healthy all season for a nice 1-2 punch.

beast (6h) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (6h) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (6h) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : More interesting is Washington with Terry McLaurin
