Fullback's presence, though situational, still serves a purpose.

Nothing but Class!!!!

The question now, as it will be every year, are The Packers better with John Kuhn on the roster?

The answer this year was YES!!!

Next year? Who knows?

I'm betting, as the article states, fans will be seeing more of John Kuhn in the next few weeks!!

It's great to have a Pro Bowl fullback on the roster who is reliable and can also amp up the crowd.

He actually seems to give the offense and the fans a boost when he's in the game.
Granted, he's no Lacy but he is effective.

I do like his skills running the ball, if he gets a block or two. But he seems to have lost a step he never quite had.

While I have to agree with nerd on him losing a step, he was never kept around for stats but because he understands the offense better than everyone else outside of Rodgers (whom he keeps upright as well).

I'm just curious to see if he can keep his postseason TD streak going. [rockon]

Edit, couldn't help myself.
2013 7.3 grade over 337 snaps
2014 2.8 grade over 172 snaps


Looks like you're right, he has certainly lost a step. I haven't noticed him much and only worry about him being able to protect Aaron Rodgers and get that 1 or 2 yards for a first or touch.

Low snap count earlier this year+he looked slower in 2013 than he did in 2012 and I doubt he got faster since then
