I was going to make a list, but couldn't come up with anything different overall. I like this list slightly better than the first list--more balanced offense/defense #s (25/25 vs 23/27), more OL depth.
A couple of changes I would have considered: Keeping Harrell as #3 QB (at least early in the season) in place of Green (#4 HB), or going with Starks instead of Green at #4 HB. I'm just not quite comfortable yet with Young as the only backup QB on the roster.

I think Young will be better for us in the long Haul this season, even though Harrell knows this system better.
It's underrated to think Young can't pick up the offense, he has steadily gotten better these past 2 weeks, and a solid 4 weeks of work can prepare him to backup Arod. Add to the fact that Aaron Rodgers is the QB, not Vince Young. So he'll have a full 16 games to learn other Arod, and maybe go somewhere else next year.
He has better athletic ability than Harrell and a better arm. The jail is out on both the QBs accuracy, but they both aren't anywhere greater than eachother in hitting their targets 100% of the time.
I'd rather add depth honestly to other positions than QB to keep Harrell on the roster. Plus we can always nab Coleman off the PS to put on the 53 if need be.
It's a toss up for Green and Starks. But Green's gotta get the edge. He has been more reliable than Starks, and is more Serviceable/Durable than Starks. He's also a lot better catching back and Pass blocking back than Starks.
I wouldn't mind if Starks stayed with us, but I wouldn't like it if Green got the boot.
