Remember Ahman Green - he fumbled, on average, every 52 carries both in Seattle and in Green Bay; once for roughly every 250 yards of producrtion. Then for some reason, he never dropped a ball again in his final 2 seasons in Hiouston.I don't think he ever had fewer than 4 fumbles in a single year with the Packers, and a couple of times had 7. His total fumbles, his ratio of fumbles per carry, and fumbles per yards all would have him at or very near the top of the NFL every year in the present day.Obviously, nobody on the team was happy about it, and as much as Sherman *****ed about it the Packers learned to live with it. They just decided that the production was worth the price, I guess. 1 fumble for every 250 rushing yards.Green Bay has probably studied the film very closely, and may feel that they've spotted a couple of technical issues that they think they can coach up. Or, they may feel the upside is so good (so "Green-like") that it's worth the risk. Or, maybe a combination of both. Way I see it, the front office and offensive coaching staff have put up one hell of a track record these past few years, and if they think this was the right guy, I'm giving them the  benefit of the doubt. They've earned my trust and my faith.</blockquote>
