This is the current plan, with Grant backing up both and playing special teams. Jackson won't dress unless there is an injury.Again, that is the current plan, although things can change week to week.

I agree. With that said, he has never been able to stay healthy in his career.

I dont agree at all , Morency is no more then a 3rd down back ( Healthy or not ) .He was healthy in the 2nd half Sunday night ( How many carries did he get on 1st and 2nd downs "0" )
D.Wynn owner?

Must be. Morency is coming back from a knee injury and is trying to get into game shape. I agree with the previous posters. If can get healthy, he will be the man.

Wynn has looked fantastic so far. The starting gig is his to lose now. Morency is better suited to be a 3rd down RB than a starter. Wynn is big and breaks tackles. Ideal for the main RB if he can keep playing as well as he has played. Oh, and I am a Wynn owner, but only because I have watched the Packer games and have seen how well he is playing.

I don't know why you would say that. Jackson seems to be the third guy and not a factor unless Wynn or Morency are unable to suit up.The question going foward is who will be more valuable, Morency or Wynn?I'm in a PPR league so Morency with 7 catches did get my attention plus he seemed to be the more explosive player IMHO.

Jackson is a developing rookie and the coaching staff seems to believe in his potential - he was a second round pick and will continue to get chances to prove himself.Wynn - also a rookie but a 7th round pick - looked very good for one quarter last week, but the Florida grad then unbelievably and inexcusably had to remove himself due to dehydration in Green Bay in October.Morency showed signs of talent last season, but has been hurt all year and is just now perhaps rounding into shape.Grant will also continue to get playing time and carries.The young offensive line has been in a constant state of flux all preseason and through the first five weeks of the season, and has been consistently disappointing and ineffective in run blocking. I say disappointing because many had high hopes for the several young talented players on the line who are now in their second year - having all presumably benefited from significant experience as rookies last season - and none has emerged as a reliable player particularly in the running game, while the veteran LT Chad Clifton is so far having a surprisingly bad season.I agree Morency looked somewhat better than the others last week. Its fun to discuss who may emerge and that's what we do here, but its truly a meaningless exercise with this group - no one knows who will come out of this.If I were to bet, I'd say RBBC all season long.

Given his experiance and time in the system IMO he hasnt done enough. If you had to pick one of these guys to start for you nfl team you would pick Morency? I will take the upside of Wynn anyday. I know what Morency can do..And IMO he is a 3rd down Back and thats it..

you do realize that this was the first offseason for Morency in Green Bay? And, he was nicked up for most of it. Who knows how this will play out. All backs involved, less Grant, have shown a propensity for getting nicked up. Wynn has played well. But, to say that Wynn has surpassed what Morency has done in the NFL is different that saying you like his upside better. Morency, Wynn, and Jackson have had a tough time staying healthy. Wynn, in college, had spurts where he seemed to get nicked some. Also, Wynn was never the guy carrying the load in college. His highest number of carries in a season was only 142 in 12 games as a senior.

Packer fan without a fantasy stake with any of these guys.
First of all this will be RBBC for the rest of 2007. McCarthy has already said as much, and no one has enough talent to be a full time guy. Most likely scenario is the current one with Wynn playing 1st and 2nd downs and Morency getting third downs. If Wynn falters the next shot will probably go to Grant for 1st and 2nd downs. Jackson is on the outside looking in right now, and I honestly think he'll be lucky to get another shot. This team will bring in talent at the RB position in the offseason, most likely via a 1st or 2nd rounder. IMO 90% chance the GB Running back of the future is playing on saturdays.

Disagree... if/when Wynn falters.. it goes to Morency. Period. He's not just a 3rd down back.

Not sure why all the hope for a clear #1 , McCarthy has stated all year long that he will continue to go with a RBBC.
As an owner of all 3 (Wynn, Morency and Jackson) this has been the nightmare of my roster all year, and dont expect it to change anytime soon.

Wasn't Morency brought in to be the #1 guy? Yeah McCarthy is saying this but if one impresses enough, he will take over with the majority of carries.Not sure why all the hope for a clear #1 , McCarthy has stated all year long that he will continue to go with a RBBC.As an owner of all 3 (Wynn, Morency and Jackson) this has been the nightmare of my roster all year, and dont expect it to change anytime soon.

No . They got him for Gado ( Yes Gado , its even less then they paid for Ryan Grant ) .So he was nt brought in to be the starter.Wasn't Morency brought in to be the #1 guy?

Despite who they traded away to receive him, he was brought in to be the #1 guy. His health issues and the loss of Green moved the team to draft two RBs, Jackson and Wynn. Jackson, by all accounts was a reach. While Morency was recuperating, Wynn and Jackson were so unimpressive, the team also acquired Ryan Grant, a third season former Giants practice squad player.The intention from what I recall reading in the offseason was for Jackson and Morency to compete for the starting job, and the coaches hoped one of them would step up and be the guy. In fact, Wynn when he made the final roster was told by his position coach he still was likely to get cut. Both Morency and Jackson, if they showed the ability to stay healthy, and the talent on the field, would be given the #1 role and not be in an RBBC. However, so far Jackson hasn't flashed talent, and Morency hasn't been healthy.This is only RBBC because no one has stepped up. And for anyone to say Morency is only a third down back, you are either blinded by Jackson or Wynn love, or you just haven't gotten an opportunity to see Morency because of his health issues this year. Morency is a very good running back.I do believe it will likely be a mix of Wynn and Morency for the rest of the season, because I can't see how Morency is going to heal completely while playing. So they are going to have to take it easy with him. However, Wynn is not good enough to shoulder the load either, as he is not an explosive RB. So you're going to see both, and probably they'll be pretty even in the touched department. In PPR I'd say Morency will be the more valuable of the two RBs. Neither are anything more than a #3 FF RB though.No .

DeShawn Wynn-RB- Packers Oct. 15 - 10:13 pm et The Green Bay Press-Gazette writes that the Packers "appear committed for now to rookie DeShawn Wynn as their primary halfback."The team also seems settled on Vernand Morency as the third-down back. Coach Mike McCarthy was asked Monday about switching to a one-back offense coming out of a Week 7 bye, but sounded like he's fine with a RBBC. Green Bay will have its offensive line intact with the return of C Scott Wells.Source: Green Bay Press-Gazette
