You grade him a hell of a lot higher than I would.
I do think he's above average so not calling for his firing.
But don't care much if he leaves either

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Packers are expected to sign former Lions running back Joique Bell on Monday.
Bell last played for the Bears in 2016, carrying it just three times for six yards before getting cut on Oct. 24.
He was a member of the Lions from 2011 to 2015, rushing for 2,235 yards and 22 touchdowns in that span.
Did we sign this guy?
Ripkowski, Kerridge and Bell...Wishbone?
It's fucking Thursday already, and Bell's still not signed. Why? Three explanations.
1. Tweets about his Monday signing are false.
2. Thompson's incompetent.
3. Packers changed their mind.
I am betting #2.
Starks is healthy. Jackson on roster.
Bell went home after his workout on Tuesday. RapSheet was wrong that the Packers had committed to sign him last week. Seemed strange at the time, since they don't do that except in the most extreme cases of FA (Peppers, Woodson). But he did work out and went on his way.
Please list the accomplishments of the Ravens since the Super Bowl. Been worse since Packers appearance. They have less offense than the Packers do.
Elway maybe, needs some time to prove it out. Team looks a little ragged now, but early to judge.
I'll give you Schneider doing well, but is he in charge or is Pete?
Elway already proved that he's a better GM than Thompson. 2 Super Bowls (in a shorter time span) beat a fluke one any day of the week.
Belichick, Elway and Schneider all have debunked the so-called "Draft and Develop" theory. Draft and develop is nothing but a lame for excuse incompetent GMs make to shed light away from their incompetency.
Gotta competently utilize ALL aspects of the game - draft, free agency, trades.
Ron Wolf utilized ALL aspects of the game, and he - competently, as well as egoistically, I must add - turned around a moribund Packer franchise. Don't give me the lame "Wolf did it in another era" excuse. Belichick is doing it extremely well in this era, in case you haven't noticed.
The Thompson era in Green Bay started with the 2005 season, and he has won one SB.
How many has BB won during that time?
How many has Schneider won during that time?
How many has Elway won during that time?
How many has Newsome won during that time?
Where's the love for Kevin Colbert? Jerry Reese?
Ron Wolf = FITW
starks and jackson aren't enough. montgonery really isn't a back. wonder why the Joique Bell thing didn't happen?
I have been hoping you were right in stating the above. In a way, the following is disappointing. Starks claims his knee was giving him no trouble at all, until one day he woke up to find it swollen:
Quote:
Green Bay Packers running back James Starks said he wasn’t having any problem with his left knee before or during the New York Giants game.
“It wasn't bothering me, even after the game,” Starks said. “I came to practice, ran, nothing was wrong and then woke up on my day off (and) kind of seen swelling. Told the trainers and stuff as soon as I knew, then we just got it checked out.
“It was kind of like it was messed up so I got it taken care of.”

^ Might have been giving him more problems than was obvious. If it had no sudden or catastrophic injury, might have been getting slowly worse for some time.
Most likely Starks just done got old.
I'm OK with Action Jackson, at least he hits a hole and goes forward. Whatever Starks can give is a bonus.
i thought we were signing javid best on monday
whatever happened there?
He doesn't look like a low-to-ground, low center of gravity guy that can deal with hits and flailing arms inside the tackles. Does he have thick legs and hips? He does look effective with a little bit of space - draws, pitchs. He is OK as wingback in the shotgun.
Maybe I am seeing him through biased eyes, having set him as a slot WR in my head. He is OK as a role player out of backfield - effective even.
Several of the predraft evaluations said he might end up as a runningback instead of a WR. Last year one of the reporters in preseason remarked that he looked out of place with the thinner, leaner WRs and was mistaken for a RB by reporters that didn't know him. He's listed at 6'0", 216. Starks is 6'2", 218. I saw Montgomery on one of the Packer talk shows a couple weeks ago, he looked thick and muscular. There was talk last year of using him as a legitimate runner when they started using him in the backfield before his injury.
I suspected at the end of training camp that one of the reasons they had so many WRs on the final roster and just two RBs was that they intended to use Montgomery as more than just a gimmick in the backfield. I don't think his tranistion to RB was just because of the injuries to Lacy and Starks.
I thought he already looked more runningback-like last week. 25-30 carries a game? Probably not, but maybe 10-15 carries.
He really doesn't seem to me to be good enough to become a full-time running back, unless you imagine him as the third-down back we've been clamoring for. He doesn't seem to find holes very well and seems to go down pretty easily, though not as easily as Cobb.
No reason he can't be a combo RB/WR like Sproles.
If he can block a lick, its the perfect job. Stick him where you get instant mismatch.
