When i look at Green run, he is still running with speed and power. We Absolutely NEED to resign him. AHMAN GREEN IS BACK. 70 YARD TOUCHDOWN GALLOP.

Green was a playmaker in 2003, unfortunately he hasnt been that this year. If you try to think of a game changing play that he's made this year, you probably won't be able to come up with one. I think TT did a good job with a heavily incentive laden contract this year and should probably do the same for next year but not more.
He's not a Pro Bowler and he's about average. I think he's more of a 3rd down back right now and a good one at that. I don't see him as the guy that can take on the workload. I know most think he's back and love Ahman but truth be told he'll never be the player he once was. He's at that age where backs need to accept a smaller role for the better of the team. Marshall Faulk is an example.

I totally disagree.
He's been asked to run behind a rookie line using 1/2 the playbook and learning a new scheme that is FAR from being a dominant force (or even a moderate force) in the NFL. And even so, he's done pretty well.
Curtis Martin was the leading rusher in the NFL at 34 a few years ago, and Ahman still has speed and power.
I wouldn't be so quick to throw away RB's and QB's in the NFL. They don't exactly grow on trees..

It's funny you don't mention the "disaster" of an offensive line he's being asked to run behind....
Ahman Green needs to average 45 yards for the last three games to topple 1,000 yards. He's had two sometimes three rookie OL and a QB who SUCKS, heh jk I love Brett, I am serious about the OL. Not to mention the team is learning a new blocking scheme, which Green played with in College.
Ahman
vs Lions - 63 yards on 22 carries
vs Vikings - 55 yards on 22 carries
vs Bears - 110 yards on 20 carries
At home he got 100, the away games he got 118 combined. Now the table is turned. Lions an Vikings are coming HERE and the Bears won't have squat to play for in the last game! wait ... we suck at home
Lions 23rd in rush defense
Vikings 1st in rush defense
Bears 11th in rush defense
I don't think 'average' running backs get a 1,000 yards when 40-60% of yoru OL is in their FIRST year in the NFL. I put Ahman Green a tick above average.
*** LETS NOT FORGET THERE IS ONLY ONE TEAM WHO'S THROWN THE BALL MORE THAN THE PACKERS AND YET AHMAN GREEN WILL REACH 1,000 YARDS.

To run for 1,000 yards in the NFL you only need to average 62.5 yards a game. That is actually a very easy number to obtain even behind a rookie offensive line. The amount of carries needed to average that is not terribly high either. A tick above average in my opinion isn't stretching it at all. I think that's a fair assessment but stretching it would be considering Ahman Green is back and that he is not.
I do think he's average right now and will remain average for the rest of his career. 1,000 yards in the NFL is not special anymore IMO. It hasn't been for a long time. He's a free agent and isn't worth top dollar either. I think he can be a real contributor to this team as a 3rd down back and change of pace back for someone younger and better and it would ultimately help this teams running game for the long run.
Getting 1,000 is ' actually veryeasy' ? Suit your *** up and lets see you do it.
Does getting 1,000 mean what it did just ten years ago? I'd have to say, not so much. But to say its easy is ... you form your own 'special' word for that. To say its easy sounds like its coming from someone who's taken it for granted that their team has 1,000 yard back season after season. I however remember the years when we'd be lucky to get a back over 600-800 yards.
Green is currently 21st in the NFL in rushing yardage. That’s not that great.
You say that just posts after you say its 'very easy'... training everyday doesn't sound 'very easy' to me.Suit my *** up and do it? I'm not a professional football player. I'm not making a million dollars a year. I don't practice every day. I don't train and workout for the NFL every day in the off season. Ahman Green does.
