I'm chalking the majority of this up to the Seattle D...BUT...James Starks usage and effectiveness would make me a little uneasy if I had spent a first rounder on Lacy. Still a top back regardless, but maybe those few out there begging everyone to take heed and pump the brakes a bit were on to something

Nah. He'll be fine. Starks only spelled him a few times, but more so when the Seahawks were up by 20. I'm not concerned.

I'm not buying the he'll be fine. He looked very slooooooooooooooow to me and Starks was the more explosive back. Not thrilled that I took him with the 5th pick, although I still think he will good if they ever get to the goaline. Sorry I believed all the crap about Lynch right now although my suicide team with Lynch and Wilson starting is looking good right now, so I got that going for me.

I think people who ended up with Starks late got a great steal.

Probably some buyers remorse now that it's being reported that he was concussed tonight.

I agree. I think Lacy was 'overvalued' and Starks 'undervalued'. I wasn't able to get either (picked Charles before Lacy went in top 5).

I did get Cobb in the Jordy or Cobb 'pick a GB receiver'.... happy I got the TD tonite obviously.

Good thing he has Ten days before Game 2.

Im not concerned. (Didn't draft him this year. Did keep him though. In my mind hes my #1 keeper also.) But if he somehow misses Game 3, I won't be mad.

James Starks got those touches last year as well. Lacy got hurt, and then Starks got more burn. I'm not worried he'll suck, but then again I didn't draft him in any leagues.

He should be fine I think.

I do hesitate a little. Had a concussion last year and hope he is not the next Jahvid Best.

Yea this. . And Starks looked better when the score was tied. . Not just when the 'Hawks were up by 20. Glad I didn't grab him. .. well at least thus far. . There's still time for Montee to kick me in the Jimmy

I'm more worried about the possibility of another concussion tonight… If he didn't have one (haven't heard) then he'll be fine. Top 10 most likely

Those who took him over Lynch certainly should!

I had an opportunity to keep him as my 7th round pick and did not do it. He may be alright, but I went with keeping Calvin Johnson (1) and Jimmy Graham (3). RB are just too iffy. Lacy now has multiple concussions in just his 2nd year so stay tuned.

I never loved Lacy. Was not even in my top 10. There was a thread a while back where I was trying to convince a poster not to take him with #5 pick (hope he didn't).

Lacy got hot for a few games last year w/o Rodgers. But Rodgers is back and the offense runs through him. The O-line is very shaky. Starks is a bit of a vulture. And Lacy has always looked a tad slow and hesitant to me. He may very well turn it around and have a "decent" year. But I think just about everyone who drafted him overpaid.

I'll tell you who doesn't have buyers remorse. This guy who took lynch with an early pick.
