Starks has Always been able to Answer the Packers' call
While some may see him fit to be a starter elsewhere, the Packers are lucky enough to have James Starks in their corner.

The 6 mil is compensatory for the work he's done in the past. It's sort of unfortunate we never got to see him truly tried in that lead RB role, but his struggles is pass protection delegated him to his back up role.
Also it seems he may not stand up to a 16 game season as #1, fears from a college injury still linger. Starks, much like Flynn, should continue in Packer lore for the next man up mentality that lead us to a super bowl win, and exciting victories after.

Just hang onto the ball, Starks.

Good for him for sticking around for so long, but at this point he's just a guy. TT's reasoning behind the contract is a mystery to me.

Those sorts of personnel "mysteries" are happening with disturbing regularity lately.

Give Lacy the ball 25-30 times!
The only time Starks should get off the bench is when Lacy can't go anymore.

starks is way better than lacy. better vision, way more burst. if you give lacy the ball 25+ he will be on life support. with an 2,5 ypc. he has probably 4 good carries between warming up and being totally exhausted.
but either way this team will only playin as good as his qb does.............. and thats not a good thing at the moment

Did you watch the game today? Everything you said is so very wrong. Lacy is a much better rb. Are you Stark's sister or something??

Mix them up more and play both. Lacy up the gut & Starks OT or end runs. Packers were best when versatile.

At this point Starks needs to be Lacy's pure handcuff -- he only comes in to give Lacy a breather or in case Lacy gets banged up; otherwise, the team would be better off rotating in T.Montgomery and R.Cobb into the backfield as occasional change-of-pace guys, not Starks.
