The problem is, though, how soon can he be in a position to contribute?

I disagree with that. Unless you want Rodgers to get decapitated because the RB missed their protection. There is a reason there are hardly any 3 down backs in the league, they just can't be good at every phase of it. I think having BJ as the starter will negatively affect our 3rd downs because he has always done a good job at seeing the pressure and adjusting as needed.

This is a blow to the Packers because Grant was a key contributor to what we do overall in the offense (though his pass protection was invincible this past game).

The Packers shouldn't rush to get anyone. Let Brandon Jackson start against the Bills, then decide from there what you need to find. I'm glad we have an opponent such as the Bills where we can test something like this.

Yeah, he looks good, but Wayne State is in the same D2 conference that my university (University of Mary) is, and I'm not so sure I believe that he is ready to step from this level to a professional level, esp that of a team that has such high expectations as the Packers.

If it helps at all.. find footage of his preseason games at this level.. albeit some don't value preseason ball.

Well he certainly does have a nifty hand-shake. Honestly though, I do like that he seems to be very shifty and fast, which is something that we could definitely use.

The more I think about it, the better I feel. Manning has been able to dominate for years without a solid running game to help him out, and we can do the same. We have an pro-bowl quarterback, and an outstanding receiving corp. Like Lombardi said, "Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence."

We overcame injuries in 1996, and we can do the same in 2010

Yep. If they can't overcome this injury, then they were never a Super Bowl team with Ryan Grant.

You know, I think this isn't a kill shot, but the Packers are limping a little bit. Someone needs to step up.

Maybe this means more screen plays that are successful? Normally, on 3rd down, it was a given on that formation it was a screen. I don't think it's a given anymore, which could make it more successful?

True......if they saw Jackson come in, they could figure out what was probably coming. Now that he's "the guy" they won't know what to expect.

Trom - Agreed about RB being the easiest position to pick up, scheme wise.

However, a RB cannot be a moron. A moron has an IQ ranging from 51-70. A RB has a minimum IQ requirement in the high 70s. Realistically though, 85+ would be ideal.
