I'll say 800 rush, 350 receiving, like 4 or 5 TDs. The guy is a very subpar RB, but he has some ability in the passing game

I love it when people project out to single yard increments. 1100 yards is fine.

His locker is next to Finley so I adjusted accordingly.
2798 32 TD's
I am gonna say we eventually see some of Starks in a RBBC, and Jackson's year end numbers will look like....765/4 td's

Any possibility they go elsewhere for help? Or is it too late to do that?

Packer fan here and I have to agree with this. While Ryan Grant was never the fastest or strongest running back, his one-cut style led to him hitting the hole harder than a lot of backs and causing missed arm tackles at the line. Brandon Jackson has always sort of tip-toed across the line of scrimmage. He's probably faster than Grant so if there is a huge hole, he can make a big play. However, I would be very surprised if he were the feature back for more than a few weeks while they get someone else up to speed with the offense.

This.And imo Jackson is a turd who has always looked horrible (especially on Sunday after Grant went down), and will be replaced within a month. If I'm wrong, and he somehow manages to keep the job, he'll be lucky to get 15 carries / game @ around 3.5 ypc., so 225 for 780 w/ maybe 5 tds

This..... maybe Tashard? Lynch? Jackson? others?
I'm not sure I buy Jackson for the long-haul. He's had chances to take some playing time and never done much with it. Plus his shoulder injury history suggests he may not be up for taking the feature back pounding.
I definitely think Kuhn is a TD vulture, and I would keep an eye on reports as to how well Nance is being integrated into the offense. If Nance is picking it up rather quickly, he could get a shot. Here's the write up on him from the ASU site.
Tough inside runner who led the Sun Devils in rushing each of his last two seasons...straight-ahead, compact rusher who rarely is tackled for loss and is ideal for short-yardage and goal-line situations...played in 45 games during his ASU career, making 18 starts over his four-year career...totaled 1,934 rushing yards on 482 carries (4.0 avg.) and 19 touchdowns...became a bigger factor in the passing game over the course of his career, as he finished with 63 career receptions for 463 yards (7.3 avg.) and one touchdown.

They pull J X Johnson off practice squad? Max Starks up after 6 weeks? Trade for Lynch?
Signed Dimitri Nance from the Falcons practice squad. Nance will come is as #3. Kuhn will be the backup next week. Assuming Nance is a quick study, he probably bumps up to #2 in a couple weeks.

With Starks maybe coming back after week 6. Then things could get very interesting.

Coming back? Was he ever there in the first place? How much TC did he miss?

B.Jackson is not very good or good at all. The Packers will probably bring back....wait for it.......SAMKON GADO!!!!!!!In all seriousness though Jackson sucks and will not be the feature back past week 6.

I was trying to get a sense of Jackson's game so I looked up our own Matt Waldman's 2007 rookie impact series from FFtoday.com. Good stuff:
Hindsight is 20/20, isn't it?

What makes you say Jackson sucks?From the little I've seen, he's a solid runner, a very good receiver out of the backfield, and a able blocker. If given the chance I don't see why he won't perform well, although I never thought Grant was anything special. Do you think Samkon Gado is a better player and if so, in what facets of the game?B.Jackson is not very good or good at all.

I think Chuck Norris' locker is on the other side of him... which would naturally add another 2202 yards and 18 TDs to this total to bring him to 5000 and 50.

Yup, same here. I have tough matchups this week and need Finley to explode. I have a claim for Jackson with the 2nd position. I see him being a solid #3 RB or decent flex option, filling in for bye's nicely. Depth is good.

Why would BJax have his numbers go up? I fully expect Finley to pick up all of Gran't carries, receptions and tds.

Against the Eagles, BG had 18 carries and 63 yards. Starting less than a half. And he was the 3rd down back because he could be counted on to pick up blitzes and hold onto the ball.
For at least the next five games, you have to think 22 carries, 100 yards, 4 rcpts 25 yards a game. Kuhns will get short yardage, so give him only 2tds. Nance will get 1-2 carries a game, maybe.
Week 7 - well, then it's about Stark. A sixth round pick. Coming off the PUP. Which means the pack has 3 more games to decide to activate him, or hold him out for the rest of the year. It's a hamstring issue. On Sept 1, Packers running backs coach Edgar Bennett told the Green Bay Press-Gazette that it maybe a longshot for Starks to play in 2010
As of now, thinking Starks is going to pull yards off of BJ and Kuhn is very optimistic.
Projections - for the season, including w1
250 rushes, 1,100 yards, 40 rcpts (I said 50 yesterday, but am coming off that), 250 yards, 5tds total. Still think that Kuhns will get the short yardage stuff and the rest of the team will just collect to many. Best thing available for now on the waiver wire.

A bit shocked at all the negativity. Here we have a good pass catching back on one of the best offenses in the league. Not the runner that Grant was - but he is now THE ONLY legit RB on the roster. Probably won't get the goal line work. Have you taken a look at some of his game logs where he's received a meaningful number of carries? Keep in my his 3.5 ypc this week was a result of the Pack killing the clock. He actually looked pretty strong out there.
In 2008 he put up 10 for 50 and 11 for 80 in his only meaningful work.
In 2007 he put up a 20 for 113 to close out the season against the Lions.
On a side note, Green Bay had a running back last year I believe who I was keeping my eye on. He's not on the roster anymore, and I can't remember his name (but remember that it was a bit odd). Anybody know what happened to him?

he didnt look bad at allyoure basing your bad opinion on when he struggled in his rookie season before he should have ever been in the game. its really frustrating that decent players like this can get a horirble stigma attached to them just because they were good enough in a time of need to get playing time before they were ready.

maybe we were watching different games, or have different definitions of "looking bad". yes, GB was on the road vs. a pretty good defense. but, jackson contniually just plowed into the pile, and was less than effective when forced into duty. maybe working w/ the 1st team in practice will help the cause, but i'm not optimistic.much like Taylor & Co. in NE, Thomas in NO, and to some extent Addai in IND, anyone getting decent playing time @ rb should produce to some extent. the difference though, simply comes down to NFL "starter" quality talent, and i just haven't seen it from Jackson. imo, the only things Jackson has going for him are above average situation & a new found opportunity. and, he'll be further exposed as an average at best NFL backup RB - so GB will be forced to look elsewhere sooner than later.as a Rodgers owner in a couple of leagues, I really hope he (or whoever replaces him) can provide a decent enough running game in GB to at least take some of the opposing defense's attention.and don't get me wrong. as a WW pick up - sure - why not? unless you're on a FA bidding budget. i just think Rodgers, Jennings, Driver, Finley, Jones, etc. will be picking up the scoring slack vs. Jackson. they'll run as much as they have to, but that's it. i certainly wouldn't be plugging Jackson into my RB2 or even RB3/flex with any confidence.

Did you only watch later in the 4th quarter when they were trying to run out the clock?Because prior to that he looked better than a turd.And he looked pretty good in 2008 when plenty wanted him to get more carries.He will easily get 15 a game barring an injury or a player for player trade in the next few weeks.3.5 per carry...he averaged that in his supposed turd performance this last week.And he averaged 3.6 in his rookie year when he struggled big time.Id bet he is more in the 4 ypc range at about 225-250 carries.

I'm going to be picking him up and benching Best this week to start him. I think it'll be a good call when the week two over.
picking him up and replacing benson (vs BAL) so i KNOW that it'll be a good call.

1.21... but back to BJ.I have him as a handcuff for Grant (on a very crappy team) and with his schedule the rest of the year, I'm not so sure he will be my #2 over Caddy. Some tough opponents, and I don't think Detroit is even a creampuff vs RBs anymore.HA HA!!! 19 Gigawatts!!If he hit 88 on the DeLorean he just may have it nailed...
I'd probably do the same anyway, but Benson did well against BAL last year. 120/1 and 117/1 in their 2 games.

He's arguably the superior receiver to Grant. I'd say 45 catches or so. He's not going to break long gains.

Looks like Dimitri Nance was signed off the Falcons practice squad.

Wherever the numbers end up, I think BJackson today is worth something similar to what Ryan Grant was worth on draft day. Unless you believe Grant is a far superior talent to Jackson, you have a guy very valuable due to situation getting replaced by a guy in an even better situation. Jackson has almost no competition and should be a 3 down back. Grant at least had Jackson to spell him and take some 3rd down catches.
He's worth quite a bit IMO.

Based on opportunity alone he should finish in the RB14-RB20 range. He's not a stud runner, he just has stud opportunity. Even losing short yardage carries, he won't have under 250 runs if he's the starter. The last couple of seasons GB has thrown to the RBs just under 50 times. I would expect Jackson to have 40-45 receptions being the every down back.

So what is the shark move if we cannot get Jackson? He has a history of injuries and has never played a full season as the starter so who would be next in line? Surely not the #2 now or the kid from Atlanta. They have to bring in someone else right?
