    Given the difficult economic times, we'll keep a lean & mean management structure.

    Grant doesn't have to have a bad year for Starks to shine, they can coexist.

    Special honor is given to the early adopters, yet new members will always welcome! Its understandable that some people want to see Starks in action before believing - that's what the preseason is for. Afterwards, a short speech of contrition will be required for admission to the club.

      Give me 1-2 preseason games to see him in action. IMO, he didn't look "special" last year but was more than likely rusty.

      I'll start preparing my speech now.

        I've been in the fan club since I saw his YouTube highlights! Definitely sign me on here. He'll be carrying more than Grant by year's end and I wont be surprised if it's a lot sooner.

          It should help Starks that I always thought Gado was a complete waste.

            Starks is impressive. Should be the #1.

              Anybody have some links to videos of him this camp?

              I've been on the Starks bandwagon since I watched his college videos. I was actually only mildly impressed with him last year because I was expecting more. However, I held out hope that he'd improve with full health. Sounds like that might be the case

                  OK, we have 12 disciples now, exactly what Jesus started out with. (Harvey is half in/half out, so he will serve as Judas.) After a few miracles the flock will grow, millionss will gather on Sundays to worship Him.

Starks runs upright in the open field, but he does a good job getting low and finishing at the point of contact. Given that it looks like there will be a platoon of running backs, that will hurt all of their production obviously, but should keep them fresher through the season and the rest of their careers.
                        I do seem to recall Starks getting low enough when finishing runs that he'd scoot beneath tacklers for another three or four yards whilst falling forward. Runs upright, but knows how to get down <insert disco dancing picture here>.
                        No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

                          Starks looks like a really good player. He runs a lot like Grant with maybe a little less toughness but a little more shake. He was a great pass catcher in college, but didn't have time to really pick up the passing playbook in year one. I like his overall game a little more than Grant.

                          He's not nearly as powerful as Adrian Peterson. He's not amazing at making guys miss. He looks really well rounded though.

                          Runs pretty hard, falls forward
                          Decisive, instinctive
                          Pretty fast
                          Makes guys miss
                          Breaks tackles alright
                          I think catching the ball is something he'll be great at going forward.

                          He looks like a really good player.

                            Lets remember the dude was recovering from a hamstring injury that forced him to miss 2 years.

                            Appears fully recovered with added muscle. Reminds of AP with less power. Displayed ballerina feet with a fast acceleration in a few steps during the scrimmage (I know it was a non-tackling scrimmage).

                            Brian Billick loved Starks as a junior -- labeled him a first round talent.

                            Its Dorsey Levens and Edgar Bennett all over again except with more speed.

                              The hamstring injury occurred last year. He missed his entire senior year with a shoulder injury. He looks like a very good player if he can stay healthy.
