I agree with Ken there.

I watched Alex Green this week and I’m not getting the excitement on this page’s comments. The game was a blowout and the Texans lost Cushing yet he did not take over the game. The prior week he had a good run, one run, otherwise he did not do much. And he is not getting TD opportunities and he may not much moving forward because of the Pack’s offensive style. 42 Points and not one TD for the RB? Yikes, move on. He’s a backup bye week RB at this point and not doing as much as Benson in my opinion.

I had Green on my radar for a while but this does not seem like much in reality.

If you guys want the conventional wisdom, go to ESPN. I read just about everything on this site, especially Stringer and Orth, becasue they’re calling it like they see it. There are so many fantasy sites out there who write about what happened last week as if it were happening this week–and call that prognostication…

What we get here is waaay better than that.

And some of you guys still aren’t getting the proportionality.

Again, why aren’t you whining about Adrian Peterson moving down? Or Aaron Rogers moving up? Isn’t it becasue you’re keeping proportionality in mind? Again, he’s not telling us to drop Green…

He’s saying that whatever your expectations were for him–for the rest of the season–you should probably dial those expectations down a little bit for the time being given his performance last week. And, yeah, if he’d run for a hundred yards and scored a touchdown, Stark wouldn’t be any threat to steal carries at all.

…but since Green didn’t run for a hundred yards and score a touchdown, it does open up the door–”a crack”–for Stark. I still don’t understand why that statement would be controversial.

No offense Mr. Stringer, but you must not have been watching the same game as the rest of us. Green looked solid and has many hopeful of more. That’s moving UP. Perhaps he’s just an RB3 in the Packer scheme, but that a lot more than he was at the start of the season, or two weeks ago.

Bruce pretty much nailed it IMO with his last post. Starks is not very good. Green should get better as he learns how to better pass protect and he gains confidence coming back from his ACL injury. I don’t see how anyone can classify Green as ‘moving down’. Moving down from what? Going into last week he was expected to basically time share.

Must be a lot of desperate Green owners and a lot of desperate Packers fans in here. I picked green up and all I expect to get is a decent bye week fill in at best. If you think more of him then go ahead and start him people. Think for yourselves!

I’m a huge Packer fan, as as good as Green did and how he helped the Pack with a running game, for fantasy purposes, he is a reserve. My league is touchdown only…he’s rostered but if you are desperate, you start him.

Even in yardage…gotta wait to see.

Jeesh at all the Green love, You got it right Dave, hes at best a desperation flex play. He will get 60-80 yards on a weekly basis, will not score more then 2 tds the rest of the year, cause GB passes or uses Kuhn, and barely gets any catches.

I guess alot of owners are just hoping hes gonna carry them, I just dont see it, 1 40 yard run, and the rest of his year is a 2.5 ypc avg

@ Ryan,
You said it, Ryan. As I noted, low end RB3.
