Grant priced himself out of what the Packers were willing to pay - and I certainly don't fault Thompson for that. By December, Grant came to the realization that he wasn't going to get big money - and other than being out of football for a few months, he was basically the same player he had been before leaving. I seem to let myself get trapped like this, I guess - I never disliked Thompson - just wasn't as wildly enthusiastic about him as some in here - talk about mancrushes! Now I am defending Grant, who I never cared that much for and was happy to see let go in free agency. I really disliked Benson, and my main point is that Grant is better than him, especially for the apparent low salary he gets now. I have nothing against Starks either - and when healthy, probably he is better than Grant - but will he ever be healthy? All I ever said about Grant as an RB is that he would be my choice for backup behind Green (if healthy) and Harris. As for stoutness as an FB, for a lot of teams, that would be true, but the way the Packers choose/use FBs, Grant would be decent.</p></blockquote><p></p>
