Hayward is an ascending player. If he picks up where he left off, then look out!

When Starks does come back will he get any carries? Franklin has 6 carries and 1 reception in three game since his 103 yard second half in week 3. Sure, it will provide great depth in case Lacy gets hurt again (we will have two guys to choose from) but will he be anything other than another breather for Lacy. On the other hand when Lacy is running like he has been why not ride the hot hand.

How long is Perry out for? If it's been discussed I missed it. A couple more weeks? A month? I have heard of no time table on him.

It has never been their style when the #1 guy was healthy. When injuries force them to look for that #1 guy then yeah they spread it around but once that guy is identified he will get 90% of the work.

Lacy was the guy in San Fran Starks had 1 catch and no carries. Lacy fumbled in that game and he still would have been the guy against Washington if he hadn't gotten hurt. He got hurt and Starks had all the carries. Franklin didn't touch the ball until Starks got hurt against the Bengals. The only thing I can see that might support the fumble benching is that Franklin didn't get any more carries after his fumble against the Lions but I doubt if he would have gotten many more any way.

I just don't see Packers backup RBs getting more than half a dozen touches per game between them all including passes. That's not to say there is anything wrong with it. They are not a RBBC team. Several teams have the workhorse back that gets the brunt of the work and if it is working then fine. I'm just not going to get all excited to get James Starks back expecting big things from him. He will provide much needed depth but I don't think he will be anything special in the game plan. Maybe I'm wrong but I'll believe it when I see it.
