Ryan Grant = Future back

[woodbuck27]

Well i'll be first on the record and say this guy is the real deal.

I like his size,power and burst.

Maybe he is just one of those fella's that needed a real shot and we can sure allow for that with the runners we have (not on hand ).

I want to see TT get busy and make RB a top priority in our long and often frustrating off season.

Can't wait for the off season and all the positiveness that he sends our way.

Not really.

He's the only GM I've ever seen get praise fr. the fans for acting frozen.

People here are ready to annoit him as some awesome GM when he does Dick ALL except find ways tosave $ regarding a very healthy CAP.

He seems to have been on the mark acquiring Ryan Grant but we still need more time to fairly assess that.

All in all, Ryan Grant for a 6th looks pretty good to me especially given the remainder of the wanna be RB's.

For that move and sorry because it was a no brainer that we all here should have seen as necessary.

In any case I feel generous today so:

TT get's a free lunch from McDonalds in Milwaukee fr. me.

I expect a lot more in this off season before I fly him in for a very fine meal in Montreal.

I haven't seen such enthusiasm since our last savior Samkon Gado.

I like what i see so far, but put me in the wait and see category.

I never joined because I thought Gado was a flash; well I like the guy and all but I just didn't see it. Ditto for Wynn

IMO Grant is the real deal

I actually think you'd be about the 50th to say that on this board. It was wishful thinking, but a few including me, were jumping on Grant's wagon from the day TT traded a draft pick for him and went over to the New York Giant threads to read about him

[Badgepack]

I thought that was Grant's best game. He showed burst that we havn't seen up to this point. He was just as strong on his last run as he was on his first and he showed the ability to break the big run. Anyone who compared him to Herron before they had any clue how he ran should take a look at Ryan Grant and think twice before they throw out unflattering comparisions on players they've never even seen play a game.

He's a starting RB. Maybe not a top tier one, but one capable of 1,000 yards in a season.

Grant needs to learn to stay inbounds when we are trying to run out the clock. But, he sure has been a godsend for this team.

What do you expect from TT this off-season? What does he have to aquire to make Woodbuck happy?

At this point it seems he has all the pieces in place. He has the youngest team in the league and McCarthy has them at 10-1.

Clearly still a Doubting Thompson.

Holy Crap, Woodbuck. WTF?? Still mad about TT not renegotiating with Javon Walker, or Ahman Green, or Don Hutson? Still irked that TT didn't pull the trigger on the Randy Moss deal or the John Hadl deal?

Or are you just pissed that the Pack lost to da Bears?

Man. The team goes into the offseason able to truly look for the best available athlete. Where's the urgent priority? QB? Uh, no. Running back? Well, maybe Grant needs some competition. Corner? Sure, the team needs to groom a couple of guys to take over for Harris and Woodson in the future. Safety? Well, yeah, someone to challenge Bigby. Offensive line? Okay, the tackles of the future, sure.

Come on, big guy. Admit it. The Packers are okay this year.

You guys all drink way too much. Everyone was saying the same shit about Gado last year, where is he now? Does he even suit up in Houston, or is he a doctor already? Grant has made some nice runs and has excellent burst and good cutting ability. Is he the answer? I doubt it. I still think in the end Brandon Jackson will prove you all wrong. He's stronger and he hasn't had the benefit of playing against the teams Grant is playing against. Grant didn't do shit most of the game, I think he got almost all of his hundred yards on two carries, both after the defense was thinking pass, thanks to Favre and Co. Our line has played MUCH better in recent weeks and Grant is getting the benefit of that. It more timing than anything for him if you ask me.

Duh. Were Packer fans.

That does it, I going to Nick's Liquors. Be back in five. Any posts from me after 7:00 I apologize in advance for right now.

What have you seem from Jackson that makes you think that he can become a feature back? When I saw him run early in the season, he would dance around in the back field and do nothing. I can't say anything negative about Grant. I love anything he brings to the table. We got Jackson for a 2nd and Grant for a 6th, does that Jackson better, hell no! Grant is 10 times better than Jackson IMO. Jackson needs to much room to run be effective.

He was running against teams like the Eagles and Chargers. Give me a break. Our line is much better now, and the injury screwed him. I have no evidence to back up my feeling, but, you'll see, if he stays healthy he will have a much better career than Grant. He just needs to get out there and prove himself. He's tougher to tackle, he just needs to improve his cutback game, which will come when he is running on instinct, and not nervous, as most rookies are. But, Grant is doing well. So, maybe I'm wrong, I just don't think he is a long term solution. Who cares, we run 5 receiver sets half the game anyways. It's not like our running game is going to lead us into the Superbowl. We should do like Angelina Jolie at the Oscars, and just go backless.

I think my response in the other Ryan Grant thread will suffice here as well.

Like I said, I like what i see, but i'm taking a wait and see.

Could be another willard harrell.

More importantly, his success could really be proving the zbs. Denver made a bunch of pedestrian backs look good: droughns, gary, bell, m. bell, etc.

At this point it seems he has all the pieces in place. He has the youngest team in the league and McCarthy has them at 10-1.

Simple answer: Look at the Pro bowl. Replace our players with them with the exception of Favre, Hawk, driver, barnett, harris, woodson and a few others.

What is TT's problem. It is just so easy to sign every good player.
