Bad decision making
Bad hands(catching)
False productivity. Get the yards when they matter, Ryan.


But he's gone now so...go new guy!

Some on this forum don't need to give reasons, if they don't like the guy, just because that is their decision, then it doesn't matter what kind of numbers he puts up or what kind of team player he is, they will never be happy until he is gone.

So, those of you who have been clamoring for someone else at running back, you got your wish, let's hope it doesn't come back and bite you and the rest of the Packer nation right in the ass!!!

I am one of those (few?) that have repeatedly stated that we do not- and cannot- know the true potential of any of these RB's until we have a line that opens an -actual- hole for them on a consistent basis.

I couldn't STAND watching Jackson as a rookie. Many have accused Grant of "missing the hole" --and he has, on many occasions, but compared to Jackson, Grant seemed to find the ability to actually hit that (ridiculous) "seam" that MM and the (even more ridiculous) ZBS--at least as how it is employed in GB- affords a running back.

IF- Brandon Jackson is successful, it will be because HE TOO has truly learned how to "hit it and get it" as Grant did... (Grant deserves FAR MORE credit than given-by some- imo- for this) A one cut and hit the unreasonable facsimile :tongue3: of a hole our line and scheme afford.



If- this line is fixed, they sure have me hood-winked.



If- Jackson reverts/displays his (former?) tendencies to run up the keester of our linemen...and I am VERY afraid he will...

If- Foster was the head coach, I'd be seriously considering putting the ball in KUHN's hands instead of Jackson's...At least he has a good shot at knocking over everybody when he runs up the ass of one of our guards or tackles...He is a nice "load" when rumblin'...

I like Kuhn. I really like him. (Maybe it was that game glove and autograph, lol) I don't hate Jackson, either. I just don't trust his capacity to OVERCOME what I perceive as a liability...our line...STILL.

I think the players are on this team to alleviate my concerns, unfortunately, I don't think enough of them are on the field yet, and it is jmo/guess/perception, thus far.

I'm with Foster here. Grant got 1200+ yards with this OL. He should get a medal.

Save the irrational hatred for someone who deserves it. Like the Cows.

I wouldn't mind seeing Kuhn get 30-40% of the carries as it's a given our OL isn't going to open up many holes. Why do you think Jackson runs to the outside so much? Because he didn't see a hole.

Kuhn can make a hole by knocking over someone, but he won't get far. I still want Jackson to get the majority of the carries as Kuhn will be tackled from behind every time he gets free. Jackson won't.

Last year he averaged 4.8 in the last 2 minutes of the game when the score was within a td either way. When they matter most

The only other time of the game he was more productive is the second quarter where he average 5.0.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.

Last year Grant was probably the most underrated back in the NFL and he deserves alot of credit for his 2009 performance.

I do have misgivings for Grant when he exploited the whole Favre fiasco to get a new contract. That by itself would not have been that bad if he did not have the hamstring injury at the beginning of that season.
