Coach says fullback's flexibility makes him an asset

1: He's white

2: Marginally talented "try hard" guy.

Packers fans love this type of player!

Race not an issue , John Kuhn fills the role of blocking back, pass protector , as well as sometime ball carrier / receiver . He also plays on Special Teams . He is a valuable asset for the Packers and they are fortunate to have the Pro-Bowl FB .

I don't mind having Kuhn on the team, but let's put some things into perspective. He is not an elite player in the NFL, so referring to him as a pro-bowl player is ridiculous. The pro-bowl is a joke, and Kuhn's is only there as a recipient of playing a position that has become irrelevent in the modern day NFL.

It is more accurate to call Kuhn a lunch pail player that leaves it all on the field ever game. Players like that have value, and he plays his role on this team very well. But, we could find a better lead blocker for Lacy than John Kuhn, and that is something Ted Thompson should be doing with a later round pick. McCarthy seems to like to use the tight ends in the capacity though, so whether or not a FB is drafted will be interesting.

Plus most FBs go undrafted and Kuhn has beat out all the FB Thompson has drafted for the Packers... not saying he would again, but if seems like you can possility get a decent FB after the draft ... beause they're "irrelevent in the modern day NFL"

McCarthy seems to like to use the tight ends in the capacity though, so whether or not a FB is drafted will be interesting.

Maybe use that late draft picks on getting soe lighting to go with the Lacy/Starks thunder, to be a change up RB.

I was wondering if a guy like O'leary from FSU might be a nice replacement as an H-Back/TE type in the middle rounds. I love Kuhn don't get me wrong but if we moved on from him this season I'd be ok if we got a suitable replacement.

Packers seem to bring in another FB every single year, and even drafted two, Korey Hall and Quinn Johnson... and some how Kuhn gets up on the final 53 man roster and the other guy sooner or later disappears.

They've had other FBs that better fit want you seemed to suggested you wanted and they got cut. Which might mean the Packers are looking for something other than just bone-crushing blocks and speed... like maybe the best overall versatile that is a 10/jack of most/all trades that gives them the best chance to win... maybe that's why they have kept Kuhn around this long. Nothing to do with Packers people or not.

But like I think you suggested, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Packers using more TE/H-back sets where a TE is in the back field, nor surprised about a TE or two drafted.
