Fourth-quarter fumbles can turn the Packers low-risk signing of Cedric Benson into a disaster.
For a team that doesn’t run the ball much, the Packers sure like to talk about the importance of running the ball.
Yes, a good running game is nice to have, but it’s not necessary, especially with a QB like Aaron Rodgers and the Packers talented WRs.

Plus, he has stunk in camp and is not that talented to begin with. Alex Smith has not taken advantage of the situation he is in even though his skill set fits the Packers...
