Yes, even when Grant is 100% healthy were looking at a 60/40ish split.Sorry to burst the Grant bubble, but BJ is going to be on the field regardless of Grants health status.

You're just wrong here. Nothing would indicate that except what you want to believe. I'm guessing you're a Jackson owner.They didn't give Grant that big contract so he could be in a RBBC.
we'll i'm pretty sure your wrong. The staff has been gushing about BJ all offseason and he showed today why.Also outside of about 4 mill guaranteed this year Grant's contract isn't big at all unless he reaches incentives that won't happen. Unless he gets 1500 rushing yards this season his 2009 base salary is around a million.They have 2 very good RB's, the Packers know that and will use each of them quite a bit.I'll be proven right after the season, until then i'll let the Grant owners believe they have a workhorse, no skin off my back.You're just wrong here.

Sorry to burst your bubble...and I don't have Grant...its not going to be any 60/40 split.Go start talking about pedigree and everything else you want to bring up.Grant will get about 70% of these carries once healthy.

Nah...just pointing out that it is hardly a full blown RBBC as moderated has been wishing for all offseason while basically bashing Grant.

Ok I was at this game today.
The games are usually very boring, and I don't mean the winning or losing part. I mean the crowd is very quiet especially when losing, which is most of the time.
It was loud from beginning to end. The crowd was actually yelling on third downs, something I rarely see them do. They we also booing - a lot. Usually they just get quiet when something bad happens. Not so today. I think you are gong to see the fans revolt. Seriously.

noJackson had 75 carries last season. 52 of those came in his three starts (week 1, 2 and 17).he had 23 carries in the other 13 games. Grant had 188 in 9 games as a starter. all other runners (including QB's and WR's) had 53 carries in those same 9 games. QB's and WR's (one rush for Ryan as well) accounted for 25 carries.. presuming those are scrambles and not designed runs.. that means designed run plays went to Grant 87% of the time while he was the full-time starter. after the success the team had, the success of the running game and having a new QB in there i REALLY don't think they're going to slash Grant's carries by 30% because their backup had a good off-season.i like Jackson, i think he has potential but there is no way in hell he takes 30% more carries with a healthy Grant.

Interesting tidbit on this game, courtesy of the NFL Network. This was the first time in the history of the NFL that a team has been leading by 21 or more points... then lost the lead... then won by 21 or more points.
