RYAN GRANT

[FritzDontBlitz]

Grant vs. Jackson...sounds Civil War-esque. Just glad there's no more Sherman.

The cream WILL rise to the top. If Jackson starts bringing it, it won't be invisible or go unnoticed.

You are right, but it can't rise if it's standing on the sidelines. Put him in the game for the rest of the year, what's it gonna hurt, we're are already gonna get a bye in the playoffs, no matter what RB starts, lets get him experience, he is better than most think, he is stronger and quicker in his cuts, and can break tackles better than Grant. Grant is fast, I will say that, but teams will figure him out, and he's not a starter quality back. He left 80 or more yards on the field against a horrendous defense in Denver, and Jackson is better. Wait and see.

It is entirely possible that Jackson will end up having a better career than Grant. I haven't given up on Jackson. However, there is no doubt that Grant is our best choice right now. You don't worry about developing rookies when you are battling for home field advantage in the playoffs. This offense is rolling, and MM would face a near mutiny if he decided to switch RB's at this time.

Not if Jackson is successful.

4and12, with all due respect. I don't even think you're trying to make a rational argument. You just want Jackson to be the starter, and damn the evidence to the contrary. All of your arguments supporting Jackson are incoherent to me.

Go listen to Mike McCarthy's postgame press conference. When you do, you'll find that they originally planned to run the ball a lot, but when they saw Detroit putting 7 and 8 men in the box, one safety deep and man coverage on the outside they decided to exploit it. It got to the point where they had so much success with it they really didn't need to run the ball, they just let Brett pick apart a secondary ranked 30th in the league before Thursday's game. I commend M3 for having enough sense to improvise because it worked to perfection. Apparently you would rather have them not only ignore the fact that Grant is a stronger, more decisive and better pass blocking running back than Jackson; you'd also want M3 to ignore the reports from his press box crew and just keep handing the ball off to Jackson so he could do the two step shuffle in the backfield vs. 8 men up, and allow Detroit to possibly steal the game, instead of attacking an obvious weakness like they did?
