The days of being able to turn around when you needed a yard, and know you were going to get it, are gone – especially of late in Green Bay.</p>
<p>Is <a href="http://www.packers.com/team/roster/Ryan-Grant/802b7d7c-0e6d-4cab-90a0-987c2de2a59c" target="_blank">Ryan Grant</a> over the hill? Can <a href="http://www.packers.com/team/roster/James-Starks/a52b27c4-0792-4dd1-be0d-2d0dcd8b69bc" target="_blank">James Starks</a> be an every down back in the NFL? Does Ted Thompson need to go out in the draft AGAIN and find someone, or is the ACL in <a href="http://www.packers.com/team/roster/James-Starks/a52b27c4-0792-4dd1-be0d-2d0dcd8b69bc" target="_blank">Alex Green&#8217;s</a> knee, a knee that was repaired back in November, going to allow him to be the punishing runner Green Bay picked last season?</p>
<p>The real question is, <a href="http://www.packers.com/news-and-events/article_ketchman/article-1/Questions-to-answer-at-running-back/1e77d049-3c8a-45ac-afe5-8946b48fd32c" target="_blank">what does Green Bay do at running back next season</a>?</p>
<p>The thought in drafting Green was that he would eventually fold into Mike McCarthy&#8217;s offensive scheme. He flashed some of the reason he came so highly touted out of Hawaii in the pre-season, but in week seven was sent to the IR, keeping Packers&#8217; Nation wondering what direction the position was going to go.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s obvious that if Green Bay wants to make it back to the post season, they can do it on the arm of Aaron Rodgers and a few tweaks defensively. But not having that &#8220;big play&#8221; presence standing behind the All-Pro QB will, and has, allowed teams to lock down on the corners, bump our receivers and beat up Rodgers in the pocket when open WR&#8217;s are scarce.</p>
<p>So what are your thoughts?</p>
