Will Eddie Lacy Be On Packer Roster in 2017?

[George Cumby]

Brandon Jackson was a second round pick, too.
Alex Green was a third.

Clearly they don't value RBs.

Clearly.

I also don't think Lacy would have been out all season had he been able to treat his injury properly at first. But due to TT not wanting to have any depth at a position he or stubby don't value. They pushed lacy to play on one leg. Imo the Packers owe Lacy another shot, even if it is a one year deal to prove his worth.

Thats a very in depth analysis of Lacy's injury without having evaluated him, and I'm just guessing you aren't a doctor.

But it wasn't the best scenario to only have 2 HBs on the roster going into the season. RB is a brutal position and those guys get pretty banged up over the course of a season. I hope we have Ty, Eddie and Christine on the roster next year. This would be a pretty nice stable of backs to have along with Rip at FB.

So with all this talk of how bad TT messed up your solution (a reasonable one) is to have 2 of the same 3 we had this year, minus starks, plus michaels.

I can speculate as well as anyone else on this forum.

Packers only draft soft players and coddle them. Or make them play injured. I can never remember which way it goes afte a win.

or maybe they don't draft them well
I think they value every position

Here is one thing I don't value...two fullbacks.

I'd like to see three halfbacks that are capable on next year's roster. And one, and only one fullback on our roster during the season.

Truth be told I'm fine with Montgomery and Michael as two of them. If Michaels can get his head out of his asshole for more then one consecutive season he'd stick with a team. But he's played like a loser in the past. The Seattle beat writer came on WTMJ right after we picked him up. Nobody in Seattle cared when they let this guy go and it's because he's mind screwed.

The beat writer said odds are he'll come in looking good, and they guy is really fast and has immense talent. But then he'll take some plays off, and on a couple huge plays when you need a first down he'll run out of bounce and you'll have to punt and we'll most likely end up not caring when GB lets him go.

Right now I'm at the stage where I like Montgomery and Michaels as our best, and maybe only..change of pace runner. These two are very different and I really like that.

It will be interesting if we bring Michaels back next year. I wonder if he's just a shit attitude whose mindf'cked. But at face value dude looks good.

The solution is to have three capable IMO. I'd bet you could substitute Starks (if we deem him capable) for Lacy as well IMO. Although up to this point, Starks looks really bad; I don't know why but his YPC and play is hardly roster worthy.

I think we bring him back to camp, because he should be plenty cheap enough for Thompson's taste. I'm not sure if he plays well enough to earn a job on the final roster. From what I've seen so far, he's not very bright and is just fortunate to have a rocket up his ass. He's certainly not a short yardage type back, so I don't see how he pairs well with Montgomery.

Honestly, Lacy is a great partner with Montgomery...I just don't see Lacy having desire to come back to Green Bay after all the fat talk and then the team playing him on a rather significant injury. Maybe McCarthy can sweet talk Lacy, but I doubt it. So, I think Green Bay will need to find a way to get Rip ready to be the short yardage back for 2017.

I gotta believe this is Starks last year here. I'd be ok with a Lacy, Monty, Michael backfield going into next year. Obviously that is if Lacy comes on the cheap. He and Michael need 'prove it' deals. I have my problems with TT, but blaming him bc there was no stud behind Lacy and Starks is silly and nit picky. Go down the line of other team's RB3s. Not going to find a bunch of all pros. You could say not having that RB3 helped Monty in his progression and finding a place on this team. I originally thought Cobb was going to be the kind of weapon that MM is using Monty as. But Cobb filled a need at WR and now seems to be fading out. Hope he can come back healthy if we make the playoffs. As this season progresses, the weapons are developing and this offense is putting up points. 38 vs Seabags 38 vs Minny. Both very good defenses. Not to mention this team has been playing can't lose football for the last 5 weeks. Ha, got off topic, bye bye James, thank you for your service.

I'm still hoping for a Lacy/Montgomery/rookie backfield.

[Freak Out]

I think you bring Lacy back if he has shown commitment to get in the best possible shape he can for the job he's asked to do. He is a pro athlete after all.

[RashanGary]

Open up the game with Montgomery and get the lead. Finish with Lacy.

that to me is a very good look

but keep in mind, monty will probably have a full off season play must of this year under his belt at the position, he's only going to get better

and they said yesterday during the game that he's up to 225, that makes him the perfect RB size. he just looks small cause we're use to see a running back who's pushing 300/ and because of the tiny shoulder pads

he didn't last year going into a contract year, and he has not been able to work out for awhile now. why do you think he would get in shape this year?

[red]

theres also the question of, do we even need a feature back (lacy). he only averages about 15 carries per game and isn't much in the passing game

i still say, if he can stay in shape and go to a team that will give him 20-25 carries a game, he'll be one of the best in the nfl

that won't happen under M3

monty is a much better fit for his system
