    oh i hear ya and i wasn't saying trade right away. heck we've got a pretty easy schedule up to the minn game and can live with what we've got for a while...but then it gets tough. when is the trade deadline by the way?

      As serious as I am about how we need Jeff George to be our backup QB
      Wait...is Jeff George still playing?


      Yes, he is. But he goes by the psuedonym "Jay Cutler" these days.

        TT is working right now.....picking up practice squad players is just the beginning. TT is a smart guy....he's not going to trade away the franchise for a guy like Lynch but if the deal is right and he can really improve the team he'll do it. This team is right there and he knows it and Grant is gone for the year.

          On his twitter page, Grant also said: "Guess everyone has heard the news .. frustrating, disappointing, all the normal emotions .. I just have to move forward and get it right. Anyone who knows me, understands that my spirits WILL stay high .. and I will return even better, stronger .. That's how I operate..

          "But know that NOTHING has changed from the packs goal this year.The whole backfield will step up.that's guaranteed. I know the capabilities

          "Thanks again for all the support from everyone..much appreciated....it's tough but this is part of the game"

            SHIT.

            So maybe we do need to look into grabbing another RB.
            I hope that TT isn't just thinking along the lines of 'a maybe'.

            That's a terrible loss for us given our depth and past performanc at RB before Ryan Grant shoed up as well as he has for our team. TT has to get busy. I believe TT is. Even at this moment. As we accept this bad news.

            I hope that TT will do something. We've been here before and he studdered.

            GO TT GO!
            I sure hope Nance isn't who TT thinks is going to save the day. Come on TT.
            I'm pretty sure some people here said much the same thing 3 years ago when TT traded for Ryan Grant.

              1) RB's are plentiful if they want to pick one up. Isn't Samkon Gado available??

              2) Starks can be back as soon as game 7 against the viklings.

              3) The O-line is more important to the running game than the RB. Anyone can run if the holes are there.

                B Jack number one with Kuhn blasting holes...I still like it.

                  Jeff George? I heard of him. TT better bring him in or he is a dirty no-good son-of-a-bitch who is hell bent on destroying the Packers!


                  Also, why are people talking about Starks return? He didn't show much to me in training camp, I don't expect him to have gotten any better in the training room while rehabbing these last few weeks.

                    I'm in a fantasy league with a bunch of co-workers. One guy on the last round drafted Brandon Jackson because he said Grant is going to get hurt. Should I pat him on the back for a fine prediction, or kick him in the nuts for causing the injury?

                        pat him on the back and when he turns around.... well you know.

                          i don't like this one bit

                          grant wasn't a superstar, but he was a good full time every down back

                          if they think starks is the future then cool, i think we could survive with bjack for 6 weeks. but i don't see us making a long playoff run with jacksonand the new guys

                          i'd like to see tt offer up a mid-roundish pick for a guy like lynch or one of the cowboys. something a long those lines

                          plus, stark is injury prone, b-jack isn't a rock wall. this is starting to feel like the samkon gado year. we need a serious running threat or else it might be a very long year for rodgers

                            This is a loss, but if you get a new guy in, they will be new to the Packer's system in 1 way or another.

                            I would have thought that maybe trading a TE to someone like the Giants was an option.(they are down to Travis Beckum as the only healthy TE and have a disgruntled Brandon Jacobs)

                            Gado? Green? Green MAYBE, but Gado? He was a good RB for 1 season several seasons ago, but couldn't even hang on with an NFL team this year.

                                I like John Kuhn and B Jack. Both back give you something different.

                                Most of you wanted to replace Grant anyway so here is that chance!
