IMO the backup QB has to be good enough to lead the team to a .500 record and I don't have any reason to think Harrell could do that. If Rodgers misses so much time that doesn't get 'em to the playoffs or if he misses playoff games they aren't winning a title anyway IMO. (And - just my <em>unpopular</em> opinion - that's the case even if the backup is named Matt Flynn.) </span></span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #000000"><strong><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">RB (3)</span></strong><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">: Benson, Green, & Saine. Starks to IR and Tyler to PS. Rather than just release him I'm guessing Starks spends the year on IR which would mean he has one more chance to get serious about his NFL career and one more shot at attempting to stay healthy for an entire season. However, it is "just" a turf toe and even though its taking a while to heal they may keep Starks at the end of the 53 - he's not eligible for the PUP list. </span></span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #000000"><strong><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">FB (1)</span></strong><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">: Kuhn.

If they decide to keep an extra player at another position (like Starks), Gurley or whoever they view as the #6 WR is the most vulnerable IMO.

It looks like they may think Sherrod will be ready before 6 weeks into the season so they'll add him to the 53 instead of PUP him. Barclay is getting good press from a couple of spots, including McGinn who I respect so he's my guess of the underwhelming group of youngsters. Datko to the PS.
