[QUOTE="Juztin, post: 254040, member: 1854"] Hello to my fellow Packer fans and followers! This is my first time to this forum, as well as my first post. I've been a fan of the Packers ever since I started gaining an interest in the NFL as a child ('94 or '95), and I am very excited and have high expectations for them this year. I had done a longer post however my session timed-out and my post was lost. Anyways, I'm in love with our current roster. As far as I'm concerned, we have the best group of starters in the NFL. However, I have one big concern - our [I]halfbacks[/I]. I have a strong distaste for our current starter [U]Ryan Grant[/U]. In my opinion he is untalented and one dimensional (most of his stats accrue from amazing blocks). [U]Brandon Jackson[/U] is a career backup at best. Sure he's talented, athletic, and can block ok, I just don't feel that he's a good "football player" yet, and he may never get there. I do like [U]Wynn[/U] but he's too inconsistant, he'll make a sweet play and next he'll fumble. [U]Ahman Green[/U]? Wtf. Our team is good, maybe even great. But let's face it, how far can we really make it with the mediocrity that is our halfbacks? Sure our team is young, but Harris and Woodson are getting up there in age and are somewhat injury prone. Mike McCarthy's job may be coming into question soon if we don't get on the right track, and I would like to see him stay here in Green Bay. Ontop of those, our division is becoming more and more competetive. [I]We need a Championship.[/I] I'm not going to knock T.T. because he has (somehow) put together a great Staff and a great group of players, even though I find myself questioning his decisions often. My point is that we should(need) to make a trade for, or draft a good halfback (no more of these 7th round guys(excluding Jackson)). Here are some, in my opinion, [I]viable options to trade for: [U]LenDale White[/U](it seems he's become determined to turn his career around, and he is unappreciated in Tenessee), [U]Reggie Bush[/U](a "bust" in New Orleans, but perhaps a superstar in Green Bay?), [U]Tim Hightower[/U](perhaps if we can acquire him cheaply, we can test his worth), [U]Jerious Norwood[/U], [U]Larry Johnson[/U], [U]Steven Jackson[/U], [U]Marshawn Lynch[/U], or other potentials.[/I] I'm looking forward to feedback and other opinions on this topic! :happy0005:[SIZE=3][U]Go Pack Go!:happy0005:[/U][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
