I love it, I have him as a very cheap keeper in 2 fantasy leagues, but if it were not for that, I'm not sure I would be satisfied. Will Greene be totally healthy but camp even? Carolina and SF seem to have an overload of RB's
Car
Williams/Stewart/Tolbert
SF
Gore/James/Jacobs/Hunter/Dixon
Making a trade for either Stewart or Hunter would make some sense. |

Carolina traded goodson so I doubt they trade Stewart. Tolbert is more of a fullback for them.

| It is way too early to assume anything other then Starks will likely go into training camp as the #1 RB. I do believe there will be an additional move or two at RB, but I think it is safe to say Starks will be listed #1. |

Starks best role is as the load carrying guy who pretty reliably picks up 4 yards. He doesn't have the second gear to regularly take it to the house but as a starting back on 1st and 2nd down he's a good option.
Green is the question mark. Has the hands, vision and patience on screens to be an excellent 3rd down back. Maybe more.
I could see us bringing back Grant on the cheap for TC. He may be 29 but he's got hardly any wear on his tyres for a guy that age. Underused in college, backup in NY and had a year out in 2010. I don't like him as a #1 but he does have greater top end speed than Starks and provides more of a home run threat.
If not, Saine looked ok last year and could make a 2nd year jump. |

I imagine he'll be splitting carries in some capacity with Green.

I agree. We only run a handful of times so the mediocre talent we have at the position will do.

We don't need a running back.
We need a running back that can pick up the blitz and catch out of the backfield.

Maybe if the RB talent wasn't mediocre we would run more. |

I agree, we should definately take the ball out of the best player in the NFL's hands more often...

Not too mention I'm absolutely fed up with Alex Green! Every time he touches the ball I get pissed off!

A joke I assume? 3 NFL carries.
Starks will carry the load until it breaks him. I'm not sold on any of the RBs until they can do something of substance for more than 1 game.
