    Ryan Grant = Future back

    I after watching him yesterday I think we have the back of the future. He is everything I look for in a back. He can catch, block, has great vision, has great speed, and when there is no where is run he has the power to run over people. I am really impressed by him.

    In five games of starting, the guy has about 500 yards rushing. That is pretty amazing considering the fact that he is running behind the same line that no other back on the roster could even run half decent with. If he was starting from week one he would be over a 1000 yards by now and among the league leaders in rushing. This is very similar to how AG took over his first year in green bay.

    Go Grant!!!!!!!

    The Real Deal baybuh.

    Now we need a reliable backup to spell Grant. Maybe Wynn can assume that role next year. Jackson is the designated third down back, I like him in space but I fear for him if he's forced to take the pounding of a lead back right now. In time maybe Jackson can compete for the lead role, but he was given the opportunity early on and never seized it. Grant was offered a chance and - ahem - ran away with it...
    Always respect your opponent, even when you're kicking the crap outta him.

      I don't like Jackson. I hoped he might show something...he never has. Morency is a better back than Jackson, but is too injury prone. Wynn has potential, but I'm betting he never fully realizes it.
      My signature has NUDITY in it...whatcha gonna do?

        I just wanna go on the record to say Grant will be our back for years to come. I love how this kid looks. And now that you mention almost 500 yards in 5 games ... perspective changes everything. Wow, that's great pace for such a young guy.

          I put him in the good-enough category. I wouldn't hesitate to use a high pick on a running back, though; especially since teams really need two.

            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.

                Wynn has no potential, what you saw is what you're going to get from him.

                  I agree with Harlan. He's good enough and the best of a questionable bunch, but I would be very surprised if TT doesn't look to upgrade this part of the roster.

                    I think this is a little too hasty.

                    I would agree with Leaper saying there is an upside, I wouldn't be willing bet how big it is, though.

                    I truly hope he rehabs and buys into the off-season program like many other players have done. We might find a far healthier player if he adds some more meat. I would be amazed if the Pack weren't sending him a message by putting him on IR so quickly. I bet M3 speaks very candidly about the expectations. We'll see how he reacts to coaching.

                      Agreed. Wynn benefited against Chicago from catching the Bears off guard. And after catching them off guard he goes out with a cramping. I don't care what people say about him being hydrated or anything, he's not fit and he's nothing more than a #3 RB.

                      Grant is smarter than Wynn and faster than Wynn. There's no competition from Wynn or Jackson for that matter. Jackson could develop into being a sidekick for Grant, but Grant makes the quick decisions that Jackson fails to make.

                      I agree that Grant can be pretty good but I'm not going to go out right and say that he will be a 1,00 yard back. Why? Because you know who was the last back I said was capable of 1,000 yards?

                          One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

                            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.
