[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 507512, member: 5830"] I know, I've got lots of grief for this but here is my rationale (to be skewered): [B]Starks[/B]: Running the ball strong in practice; had a decent first PS game; not injured. Showing some of his 2010 burst [B]Green[/B]: Has also run well during camp; had a mediocre PS game; not injured. Not using his speed and shiftyness to his advantage or breaking tackles. [B]Lacy[/B]: Showed very good potential early on, then hurt his hamstring. MM won't rush him back and this will affect his ability to be the starter in Week 1. I have all the confidence that he will get Wk1 carries and eventually become the starter, but he won't win it coming out of camp because of that hamstring [B]Franklin[/B]: Similar to Green he has displayed his speed and shiftyness but couldn't make much out of it in his first preseason game. Words out of camp is that he's hard to bring down, but his reps don't indicate that he's a front-runner for winning the job. [B]Harris[/B]: He came out of nowhere to start in the playoffs, and even scored a nice TD when we blocked for once. However, he's been dealing with two injuries, hasn't practiced, and therefore I find it hard to believe that he'll get the nod coming out of camp. If he comes on strong in the 3rd and 4th games then he's got a shot. The coaches said that he's still the starting RB but that's for show. Every day he's been out of camp is another day he's been losing his spot. That will be revealed once he's side-by-side with the RBs who have been in camp. This isn't Adrian Peterson missing camp, this is a little-known free agent. I don't think that Starks is a bold prediction. Yes he has an injury history but I'm not banking on that the way it seems that many on here are doing. To me, he's having the most solid camp behind Lacy who they aren't going to push back too soon.
