      Harris isn't the ideal guy, but he's been able to (1) stay healthy and (2) produce which is not true of either Green or Starks.

      My guess is that Green gets axed unless Starks or someone else gets hurt.

        I had high hopes for Green when he was drafted, but he has shown little on the field, even when healthy. My guess is that, unless Starks gets hurt, Green gets a visit from The Turk.

          Franklin has been getting good reviews.
          Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

            I think there is an outside chance that Kuhn gets cut. But I doubt the Packers would keep all 3 RBs in this poll even without Kuhn. Three mediocre vets is a lot of baggage, and 5 total RBs is too many.

              I voted Starks--until I watched a replay of last week's game. Starks looks like a better RB than Green. Starks is injury prone, but Green has his own concerns. I now think Green will be cut.

                I said during one of the games last year that Alex Green would not be on the roster this season. I hope I'm right, because he's pretty damn bad.

                There's even a fucking forum dedicated to how much he sucks.

                  I like how most of the discussion is about him at a club with some snaggle-toothed ho.

                    After hearing all the praise about Starks during training camp, I was expecting him to come out and tear some heads off. Instead he looks like an average back at best against a shitty bland defense. I chose him to get kicked first, even though I wouldn't mind seeing all three of them go. I don't think Green is any better than Harris, and as TT has proven, you can pick up a Harris behind any ol car wash in the month of November and he'll still look serviceable.

                      I think Starks goes first...he can't stay healthy and he's had numerous chances to take the job if he was good enough. He's not.

                      Harris is probably also gone...they may both go on the same cutdown. However, the team hasn't had the same time to evaluate him as they have Starks...which is why I think Starks goes first. Neither is worth keeping IMO...for that matter neither is Green. You could probably search the waiver wire after week 1 and find an upgrade to any of those guys (and no guaranteed contract).

                        Barring Starks staying healthy for the last two weeks in August, Alex Green has to go. I don't see how TT can keep this guy, even though he was a 3rd rounder. His knee still flares meaning his longevity this year is uncertain, he has not flashed in TC, and Franklin was a 4th rounder who will not get cut despite the fact that he has looked somewhat ordinary. Harris will make it based on last year's end-of-year production.

                        Starks/Green have no trade value either. One will be flat out cut, no one will give up a 7th rounder for these two.

                          It's true. The only way anyone would trade for Starks (no one will ever trade for Green) is if he stays healthy and impresses in the last two preseason games. In that case, we'd probably keep him.

                            As long as Starks is not injured before cutdown day I think he sticks over Green. I just think Starks adds another big back to balance out smaller backs Harris and Franklin. Green hasn't shown much at all and hopefully Harris/Franklin fill the role I originally thought Green would fill. Too bad, as I was thinking of converting my Ahman jersey into a "20" if Alex turned into a decent player. Also dump Kuhn. He is not good enough at converting 3rd and 1 or 4th and 1. Way over-rated by Packernation.

                              Yes dump Kuhn. Ya ya he is great at picking up the blitz. Big deal. If there is a blitz, how bout a quick throw to the uncovered area ARod. There's an idea.
