Grant > Jackson. Not even close. Grant won't be the add man out unless he's less than 90% when he returns.

Grant is not a third down pass protection specialist. He's a plodder between the tackles who lacks vision, quickness, cutting ability and the ability to catch the ball consistently.

Hahaha not true at all only thing he is not good at is pass pro and maybe catching,you say he lacks vision he's a hell of a lot better than jackson,quickness he isn't the most elusive guy but I've seen the guy pick up acceleration pretty good. cutting ability the guys a one cut runner when he cuts he usually picks up good yards.

Grant is no chump he's better than jackson no question in my mind.

Lets face it grant was a huge loss im not saying jacksons bad but if your saying he's better than grant ur crazy.You can't take away 2 back to back seasons with 1200 + yards and his amazing 2007 season were he broke out.

Going into this game, I pointed out that the bar was set extremely low for Starks. All he had to do was run for more than 50 yards to represent a significant upgrade in our run game. He did more than that. How that projects out to the remainder of the season, however, remains to be seen.

Well said Finley. Agreed with everything you said. Grant is underrated and grossly underappreciated by Packers fans.

From what was seen this week, he is quick to the hole unlike Jackson. He keeps his feet, and drives after first contact unlike Grant. If he keeps that up, he will be a good back. Still have to see his blocking and blitz pickup, as well as how he recieves the ball out of the back field but the initial look was very good.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

You're right that if he was able to walk and chew gum at the same time we we would all still have gone gaga for him...but as has been stated by many on this thread, it was very clear that he was the better back by hitting the hole quicker, showing more speed, falling forward, getting 1-2 yards more off contact.

You're absolutely right. It was nice having a back for once that didn't slow down, shuffle his feet, and survey the sights at the line of scrimmage.

Though he needs to learn how to tuck that ball when he returns kicks. The way he holds it out there for anyone to bat out of his hands is just asking for trouble.

Barring injury he will be a great heir apparent for Grant. Grant 2.0 bigger, stronger, and faster after some time in the strength and conditioning program. Count it.

James Starks' 73 yards rushing is most for rookie #Packers RB in his first game since Ralph Earhart (78 yards) in 1948.

Hey, if Starks is a step up from Grant, then we're winning the SB next year. Our O will be unstoppable.

I'm just saying let's give some love to Grant. He's been a top 10 RB 3 years in a row.
