Having said that though, maybe Starks is simply one of those players that shows up when it's game time. I was adamant throughout our Superbowl run that he'd virtually contribute nothing based on his practice reps and that we heard nothing good about him in practice. I was wrong because he showed up in the games when it mattered. So while I am not exactly panicking with what McGinn said, I do find his take interesting and, as a result, will keep a closer eye on Starks in the preseason games that I do watch to see what level his game is at when it matters.

And, since I haven't posted in a while and want to preserve any semblance of a zany online persona I may have, I leave you with this: In conclusion, I ❤ Adrian Peterson and so can you. (Seriously, I would attempt back-flips if Starks can even slightly resemble All-Day when it matters - during games. I'd also call him out if I felt he wasn't capitalizing that talent to reach that type of level)

I always thought of Starks as a poor man’s Eddie George. People overlook that he and Grant combined for 1,100-plus yards rushing. He has a tremendous opportunity, so the frustrations with a poor training camp showing are understandable.

I just don't see this.

Don't over react to anything. Things suddenly change in a big way when the season begins.

I'd LOVE to have an "elite back". I mean, can you imagine how that would open up the passing game even MORE??? If the defense has to honor the run, that gives you all kinds of options the Packers didn't have last year.
It would be GREAT!

Hopefully Green will be that guy. Looks like Saine is.

    Anyone out there a mad scientist?

    I say we clone Darren Sproles. He'd be an elite back in our system.

    I'm still dreaming of the next Eddie Lee Ivery, but with good knees.

    Now, it's to be expected and maddening when we don't win.
