I'm not worried. Starks got plenty of touches and looked bad last Thursday. I'm sure they'll try it, and hopefully realize they need to feed Lacy. The offense looked completely different with Lacy and Starks in against the Vikings. I seriously don't understand why they're so hell bent on getting Starks inc over, he's not that good.
ETA: also did you even read the article? Nowhere in there does it say it's going to be a 50/50 split...
If anything I'm sure Starks will get invoked but it'll probably be more around 65/35 or 70/30.

Outside of that one good game, Lacy has been a wet pile of shite.
Starks is a little quicker and presents a different challenge for the defense.

Yes, yes I did.
From RotoWorld's take on the article:
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel believes it "appears the Packers plan to maintain a split" in the backfield with Eddie Lacy and James Starks each playing 50 percent of the snaps.
After Starks didn't see a carry in Week 4, he out-snapped Lacy 29-28 in the Week 5 win over the Vikings and finished with 12 carries to Lacy's 13. While most chalked it up to the Packers winning in a rout, the coaching staff apparently wants to keep the split 50-50. "To keep them fresh, I think is very important," RBs coach Sam Gash said. "James has warranted playing time." The Packers view both as "complete" and interchangeable backs. It's not good news for Lacy owners. But it's no reason to keep him out of lineups. In the end we'd expect it to be more of a 60-40 or 65-35 split in favor of Lacy. He needs to build off his Week 5.
