NYRPack...you know your idea would have been amazing had it been after a JJ drop heavy game or earlier in the year before his 3 games where he caught 2 touchdowns each time. I  you for the thought, but I will side with the majority as well. James Jones belongs on the Packers because there truly is no telling what is going to happen with our receivers in the next 1-2 years. Jennings is up for a new contract and DD is on the last leg of his contract. Giving up JJ would leave us pretty bare at the receiver position. Don't get me wrong, seeing Steven Jackson in a Packers jersey would be friggin' amazing... |

I believe I posted this in anothe thread.
If part of that trade includes an Oline that can run block and an offensive strategy that concentrates on running the ball then maybe. Peterson would be a mediocre back behind our run blocking and play calling. I went back a took a hard look at all our run plays and believe me when I tell you RB is not the problem.
When you see a team that dominates at running, you see lineman taking their blocks 5 yards down field. Our oline seldom block on the defensive side of the ball. And that is not because the guys can't, it seems to be by design. They want it always to look like we are passing so even in run blocking we backup instead of drive forward. There also have been many times, where we have Crabtree single blocking a DE on the front side of the run. Crabtree may be a good blocking TE, but he is not going to drive DE's with 30+ lbs on him off the ball.
Backs don't do well when they don't have anyplace to run. |

JAMES JONES!
I saw it. I saw the potential. I defended him. Sometimes I don't know WHY I did, but I did. My wife told me she bought a couch the other day- turned out she she bought a friggin' ROOM. She hit me with my consolation prize after she hit me with the price for the room...
JAMES JONES! (Autographed helmet, probably went for real cheap)
She had/has no clue who James Jones is. She only hears me yellin' from afar, "JAMES JONES!"
I'm married to a good woman, lol
I don't want to trade James Jones. I like him. |
 damn skippy I'm an owner. I currently own a full .00001924537805515393 % of the Green Bay Packers. |

obviously im in the minority here, i have nothing but praise for jones but if want a guy like jackson it would take a guy like jones as tradebait. i truly think cobb, driver and boykin could pick up the slack if jones were not here. remember when the pack is on the road and in hostile stadiums and there pinned in and its 3 and 1 , having a guy like jackson is money, and when teams lineup to stack the line arod could go play action and hit wide open recievers if he so chooses. again its only my opinion and i respect all the counterpoints which do make lots of sense !! |

With all due respect, you're thinking short term. and The Zombieslayer are thinking long-term so it's not gonna happen. JJ will be good for at least 3-4 years and more than likely 5-6. Driver is done after this season. Gregorious will probably follow the $$$. Then what? You expect Boykin to be as good as JJ or Driver? Fat chance. needs weapons. If anything, we need an improved OL. We absolutely positively do NOT need a 29-year-old RB. When Jackson gets 450 yards on 150 carries next year, then 200 yards on 70 carries the year after that and JJ is getting 1000 yards on 80 receptions and 10 TDs on another team for 3 straight years, you'd be kicking yourself. |

Don't forget that Jackson will be a Free agent after this year also. This would also double the hit to the cap of Jones bringing Jackson in.
What we should have done is sign Wells and trade him for Jackson. |

How would Jackson have been an improvement over Benson when healthy, and who's to say Jackson wouldn't get dinged up as well, putting us in the exact same situation? |

Agreed. Trading for Marshawn was a different scenario, because he had more years in front of him. No way Ted pulls the trigger for a guy Jackson's age. Especially at that position. |

No way Ted pulls the trigger for a guy Jackson's age. Especially at that position. If we would just invest a high draft pick in a center that can run block, then the backs we have would be more productive. I'd rather see us use our running backs in screen passes anyway. Give me a Roger Craig over a Stephen Jackson anyway. Running backs like Jackson are for teams with shitty quarterback in which to play ugly, boring football. But since the Republican Party wants to drag this country back 50 years where women only cooked us supper and bore our children, might as well take football back there too. |

Thing is, Green's probably way more explosive than Craig. I could definitely see Ted taking a C high this year. Ted will take a WR in the 2nd or 3rd as well. A good one. |

I understand why you want him. Long run we all want the same thing. first downs, touch downs and victories. we just want to do it in different ways. I would rather focus on the passing game with Rodgers. I don't want to tie a lot up into a rb. |

I was going to applause until the yard per carry comment. On a single game basis 3 yard per carry may not be required, but over the course of a season I think it is. It wasn't required against St Louis, but would likely be required against a team like Houston (who, coincidentally, we averaged 3 yards per carry against). Oh, and no, I wouldn't trade JJ for SJ. |
