Only good news for Grant owners:
Can't get much worse than now.
Still the best RB on the team without a doubt.
Will continue to recover from hamstring injury.
I still think he will be valuable once the weather gets colder.

Guy in my league took Moss/Grant at the turn. WHOOPS! Needless to say, he's well on his way to 0-4 today.

Have you seen Jackson play? He is awful. He was the sole reason for one of Rodgers interceptions today. Has no vision, breakaway speed, or the ability to break tackles.

I was hoping he would turn things around now that he is over the hamstring injury. He ran hard early and got some decent yards but the offensive line was pretty porous and he didn't have a lot of holes to run through. Grant didn't do himself any favors though by fumbling a few times (after he already lost a fumble v Dallas last week). I was looking forward to starting him at home v Atlanta next week but now I don't think I can bring myself to do so. That is how useless he has suddenly become.

I had the 1.04 pick and I went with Moss and Grant at 2.09. ####ty picks but I should still be 2-2 after this week.

Add me to the list of Moss/Grant owners, but thankfully I have a good chance to go 3-1 thanks to Cutler, Boldin, Bush, etc. (and a fortunate match-up this week).
I started Selvin Young over Grant today, with Young having a good match up, and Grant having a pretty tough match up, but I'm leaning towards letting it rip with Grant next week. I'm still of the belief that he's going to come on strong.

Because he is.The line was awful today.And lets not forget Jackson was at fault for the first INT.

More nonsense.Looked bad all year?He looked fine against Minny, and in the carries he actually got against Dallas he looked fine too.You simply don't deal in facts when it comes to Grant.
you've got to be kidding. Your in more denial about a player then i've ever seen on these boards.NOBODY who has watched the games this year would say anything other then he's looked horrible. Out of 100's of Packer fans i've talked to the one thing we all agree on is that Grant has been bad, very bad. There is no two ways about it.Quit putting the blame on everything else, he might turn it around, but no one in their right mind wouldn't admit he's looked horrendous so far.

You know I was one who thought Grant would come down to earth this season...but in all fairness I don't think a proper evaluation can be made yet. He has not been healthy. 2 more weeks of this then yes....stick a fork in him on having anything resembling the season a lot of people were hoping for.

He looked terrible this game but this is the first game he's been healthy.

Got him in the 2nd after taking Brady in the first. Nice. Still 2-2 after getting shellacked today (played vs. Favre/Coles)

Exactly...2 more weeks of this then we know who we thought Grant was.But those who want to crown him still go right ahead.

I don't know what game you were watching today but the defensive line was in the backfield 90% of the day. ANY RB today would have had a bad day.
Grant missed a lot of cutback lanes, even the announcers kept pointing it out.Most top RB's would have seen those lanes, Grant has no vision.

Keep spouting untruths and i will keep responding...he did not look horrible against minny or dallas...sorry...that is just not true.Blame everything else?I blame who should be blamed at times.He did not look good today...though, he was also hit in the backfield often and the line play has been pretty damn bad at times this year. Maybe you should watch football rather than just looking at box scores.100s of Packer fans you have talked to? I doubt you have talked to more than 2.moderated said:

There were few lanes...and its hard to cut back when you are getting hit behind the line often.Oh...and that is one of Grant's biggest assets and his huge advantage over Jackson...Jackson has had trouble even seeing a lane while Grant has excelled.I simply don't think you have much a clue when it comes to GRant.moderated said:

Grant may or may not be a bust but he's certainly better than Jackson.

Wrong awnser! Grant has BUUUUUST written all over him. He looks terrible and that putting it politely.. He had one big run vs Minny otherwise his first 4 games he looks slow, no vision and just plain lost. He is Kevin Jones from years past strong second half the his true colors come out the following season. I would rather have Chris Perry!sho nuff said:

Wow, you just don't get it. The announcers showed one play where Grant could have possibly cut back. What they failed to do on that play is show how far the line was upfield on the play. Grant cuts back on that play and he runs right into the DE. I believe you are a stat reader and watch a few plays of each game every week.moderated said:

Grant owner here.
Playcalling and getting the team ready to play are the responsibility of the coaching staff. From my perspective, it's the coaching in Green Bay that is the weak link, not the quarterback and not the running back.
Can't believe I would have gotten better production out of Michael Bush.

he looks like a guy recovering from a hamstring injurythe first 4 plays were runs by Grant. he ran with authority and lowered the boom on one of the runs. the Packers then proceeded to throw like crazy and then run stretch plays against a Tampa defense predicated on pursuing sideline to sideline.the run blocking scheme is designed to stretch the D and have the RB cutback. there were no cutback lanes available today.. Tampa is just too fast and the line played like complete ####.Wells is playing for the first time since last year and Colledge is a horrible ####ing lineman. weeks 1-3 the line featured Tony Moll who shouldn't be anywhere near an NFL roster and Spitz playing center, though he's a guard.Grant looks fine. McCarthy is just not utilizing him as he should. understandable in that he doesn't want to lose him for the season because he over-used him early.i suspect Grant will get healthier and they will run more.moderated said:

but a good effort for people not watching the game. Siragusa mentioned a missed cutback lane on one play.there were no holes.Grant's strength is his one-cut vision. which is why he started last year, played well and looked good doing it.
mr. furley

for what?
M & M
Footballguy
To run the ball. Grant has not looked good. Whether that be due to injury, Mcarthy turning away from the run, or whatever. GB needs to run the ball and take the pressure off of Rodgers.

Wynn can't stay healthy and if McCarthy isn't going to run the ball then having him on the roster accomplishes nothing

Next week, the Packers are playing the Falcons at home.
If he gets 100 yards on 20 carries with a TD, is he still a bust?
He's going to be fine. The team is growing into the youth of the team with Grant, Rogers and the others. For you redraft guys, it may turn out that it would have been better to take him in the 2nd round than the first. But Grant will be good for us Dynasty owners

Wait...I thought his lack of pedigree doesn't matter. I thought he was going to run for 1500 yards and be an elite RB this season. Oops...sho nuff said:
HAHA. I played this delusional game for a bit, until I realized Grant has basically cost me my season in the 14 team league I have him in. Drafted late in the 2nd to be my second rb, behind SJax. Due to it being a 14 team league that is fairly TD heavy, only depth I got behind him is Selvin Young. Actually started Selvin week 1, where he scored a td, yet fell by 2 pts. Weeks 2-4, I have lost by small margins, with my second rb, 2nd round pick, basically laying a goose egg. Sjax hasn't helped either, but to take it back to your comment, there is no getting worse than this because season is over. BuhBye. I'd think many a grant owners are in the same boat, unless its a 10 or less team league where he's your 3rd rb...morris4903 said:

Stats lie.
Green bay is not providing any room to run.
