Love to have Jackson, but Hawk is doing ok this year (except that blatant missed tackle in  open field yesterday) and the linebacker position is already thin.

What does Jackson give the Packers that Starks doesn't already?
I vote pass.

Is this a serious question?

James Starks is awful.  Stephen Jackson is a pro bowler when he isn't hurt.

They are both hurt about the same amount.

Pro bowl quality back, experience,

Jackson is getting long in the tooth though and has had his own injury problems, If the packers could get him for the right price he would help for sure and be an upgrade over green and starks.

Let's be honest here, TT isn't making a trade before the deadline.

Similar to last year when many thought he would pull the trigger on a Marshawn Lynch trade, but didn't.

That was pretty much my point.
I'm OK with TT's approach.   I wouldn't spend/trade for an often injured older running back.  Not that, as it turns out, he was even available.

That wasn't last year.  That was a few years ago when Lynch was still in Buffalo.

2010.  He was traded to Seattle midway through the season.  Last I checked, 2010 wasn't "last year."

Found this to be absolutely amazing.

Kansas City has not had a QB that they've drafted, win a game for them since Todd Blackledge...

...in 1987!

I love Randall Cobb. Most receivers mature in their third season. Cobb is going to be a superstar by next year.

Agreed.  He's as exciting to watch as they come.

The ball he punched out on the first play was amazing.  Punched it out, and just walked away like it was no big deal.  And really were there any Titans fans there. 

Sultan,
My bad.  Guess my mind is trying to block out the 2011 season.

Half way through the season Peanut is the Defensive POY. No question.

The end of the season is going to be really fun to watch. Tons of divisional games. Pack/Bears race will be really exciting.

They can only play the games that are scheduled. That said the Bears D is ridiculous at this point. However, Urlacer's pick 6 was hilariously slow. He looked like a lineman returning that thing.

I don't think it's far-fetched that the Pack & Bears finish with the same record. Soldier Field game will be big.

Super slo-mo, yet did 1 player get a hand on him?

I actually said to my wife, "He definitely runs like a guy who's played linebacker in the NFL for 13 years."

(She looked up from her People Magazine and replied, "Who does that?")

No but Hasselbeck tried to leg-whip him.
