As much as we come out in the Shotgun, I can see this. I don't think he'd take away Starks' carries, but could defintely get his share. He should definitely be our 3rd down back.

Brandon Saine is no slouch at anything either. We don't need a premiere back, we just need guys to carry the ball for positivie yardage and catch a screen pass, and be assignment sure in pass blocking. The days of the 1,800 yard backs are over, unless you don't have the ability to find a quarterback, then you need Adrian Peterson.

It's not that he would take away Stark's carries. But as you say, the Packer's run shotgun often, and I think Green will develop as a much better pass blocker and/or receiver out of the backfield. As a result, he could very well be more valuable because those skills will likely be more important than the 10 or so base package runs. I agree Stark's will still be a better power runner, but I just don't see that as being very important in this offense, beyond the handful or two of times that it is (that is to say, a minority of the snaps).
