1) How do you know they didn't try to get Lynch? From what I read, they did.2) Julius Jones? Seriously?

 

[GreedoShotFirst]

no one knows, but this is the week to pick him up and take a shot at it.

 

[sho nuff]

Im sure they like him and want that option...but, will a guy who has not played since 2008, never stepped foot on an NFL field, is a late round rookie be starting and in charge of helping to protect Aaron Rodgers against the Minnesota Vikings? Not a freaking chance.

Because Ted Thompson is cheap.

pick up Julius Jones???

Because he sucks - maybe even more than Brandon Jackson.

will Starks be the starter next week after he comes off of the PUP list?

No. He hasn't played football since 2008. He's not even guaranteed to be on the roster after coming off PUP. The Packers will have three weeks to take a look at him and if they don't like what they see he could be placed on IR.If you're going to go prospecting in the Packers' backfield, Nance is probably the one to look at but despite all the warm and fuzzy comments about him lately he's still not getting on the field. I think it will be the Jackson/Kuhn show barring an injury to one of them.

I think the odds are slim of Starks contributing in any meaningful way this season. He's just been out of football too long.

Definitely worth a spot on your IR if it's empty.

 

[Sam Quentin]

They don't even know what they have in him yet

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

Definitely worth a spot on your IR if it's empty.

you cant put him in your IR spot

 

[lyon812]

The Starks hope reminds me of the Torain hope back when he was with Denver.

Yes I can.

i think the packers think they know something about starks, but mccarthy also thinks he knows how to manage a game.

a few scouts seemed to be pretty high on starks as a sleeper.

Aren't they trying out A. Stecker?
