[QUOTE="PackersRS, post: 365268, member: 1429"] AS I said before, I look for total package. Gore has proven he can carry the load, that he can run inside and out, has breakaway speed, can catch the ball, and can block very well. Yes, it's more than valid questioning his injury problems, that's one reason Gore isn't an elite back. But I believe with a better QB and a settled and improved OL, he'll be once again an elite back. I've seen very good things from Blount, he's incredibly hard to bring down, he has shown more speed and agility than I thought he would. He has performed really well, being one of the best backs in the league in yards after contact. But he's not a good blocker, he's not a good catcher, and he isn't good at running to the outside. Once teams realize him, he's not gonna be as effective. I see him much as I saw Jacobs in 08, who had a very similar season, with 5 YPC, and 15 TDs. But once teams had an offseason to prepare for him, and knew that once he was on the field, he would run inside 90% of the time, they played him, and he was never as sucessful. If you took offense, I surely didn't mean it. I like these discussions, and is another thing to look for in the next season. How those guys will fare with our predictions. [/QUOTE]
