Quarterbacks & years experience
Rogers, Aaron – 9
Tolzien, Scott – 3
Flynn, Matt – 6
Wallace, Seneca – 10
I guess we will keep Aaron Rogers! You really see why you pay the top quarterbacks the BIG money! Without Aaron we are at BEST and average team and would struggle to get into the playoffs! My concern? We need to to the BEST job we can, to provide Aaron with a team that will give us a chance to make another Super Bowl run! What makes Aaron one of the NFL best QB's?
1 - Arm strength & touch - makes all the throws!
2 - Athletic Ability - can move in the pocket & scramble when needed
3 - Decision Making - changing plays at the line & ready the defense
4 - Leadership - I think this has improved!
5 - The Will to Win
I would not bring Seneca Wallace back. And I would allow Flynn & Tolzien to battle for the back-up quarterback job! The sticking point is Matt Flynn is a free agent! BUT, I have a gut feeling a lot of teams will not be after him.
Fullback & years experience
Kuhn, John - 8
Keep him!! Remember the last TD for the Packers against the Bears! What a block!! Special teams! Leadership! KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHN! Every team needs a John Kuhn! Not the most talented athlete, but a football player! His salary will be high compared to NFL fullbacks, BUT PAY IT!
Runningbacks & years experience
Lacey, Eddie - R
Starks, James - 4
Harris, Dujuan - 1
Franklin, Jonathan - R
Bell, Kahill - 5
Smith, Orwin - R
Of all the Packer positions, this to me, is the most improved!
Eddie Lacey? What a year for a rookie!!! One thing I do since I retired, is listen to all the Packer interviews during the season. Eddie Lacey is not only a player on the field, but comes across as a humble & intelligent young man! Love his passion and football IQ! I believe the next 4-5 years will be fun to watch Eddie Run!!
James Starks? Finally, remained healthy for most of the year! Was not jealous of Lacey success and provided new energy when he entered the game. He running style is very unique. Starks is all elbows & knees when he runs! Also, a very physical runner! Provides a great 1-2 punch! Issue here is Starks is a free agent, will teams come after him? I do not think we will spend a lot of money on Starks!
Dujuan Harris was the starter at the beginning of the year! Although smaller in stature, another relentless & physical running back. Signed as a non-drafted free agent, Harris was a great find! Should be in the mix next season and provide the depth the Packers need!
Jonathan Franklin was suppose to provide a spark! He did for one game against the Bengals(the Packer Buddies were at the game to see it)! But, a fumbling problem caused Franklin to enter the McCarthy doghouse & an injury ended the season! I of think he provides a style of running the Pack needs, but because of ball security will be a long shot next season to make the team!
Kahill Bell & Orwin Smith provided emergency back-up in an injury plagued season! The odds of making the roster will be VERY slim!
There you have it! Here is how I rate the Quarterback & Running back positions. My system is four levels 1 - Excellent, 2 - Strong, 3 - Needs Help, & 4 - Scary
Quarterback - Excellent
Running Back - Strong
