People worried about losing Hill should know that only once in the last 25 years has a third QB played meaningful snaps in GB.
Rodgers had a flurry of injuries early in his career, but has been quite solid since, save for an unfortunate broken collarbone.
I believe Rodgers has had no concussion issues since switching to the new helmet a number of years ago.
Rodgers also plays very effectively even when injured.
Losing their #2 QB for the season the week after losing Rodgers for many weeks a few years back was a freak occurrence, not likely to be seen again.
(Do you suppose Fackrell can play QB??)
Also to add, to the relief of the TT drafts and signs injury prone players fans:
In 2014 suffered a season ending leg ending in game 5.
In 2015 suffered a season ending foot injury in game 1.
Taysom Hill is soft and weak no matter how well he played against 3rd and 4th stringers this preseason.
And now after going to the BYU website we learn:
Ended 2016 with a elbow injury during last game of the regular season and was done for the year. Did not play in BYU's bowl game.
2012 played in 6 games, starting 2, before injuring his knee and being out for the rest of the year.
Only in 2013 did he play a full season.

Not true, besides the many games by 3rd (and 4th) string QB's in 2013, there were some particularly meaningful snaps (especially the infamous one) in 1995.
[QUOTE=woodbuck27;936526] I imagine he is referring to TJ Rubely's infamous pass. But I don't view his 6 pass attempts as representative of particularly meaningful snaps, even though one of the pass attempts cost the game and his career in GB. Any one snap can have significance, but there are ways to provide for a handful of 3rd QB snaps without worrying about who a third QB is. After all, the 3rd and 4th QBs had all of 7 total pass attempts in 1995.
Yes, I just didn't want to bring back the pain associated with the name. Given that the snaps decided the game, they were meaningful, just as if he pulled a Favre-esq last second win in that game. On the other hand Craig Nall threw 15 passes against Detroit in a 34-13 win in 2007, including a touchdown and no ints. Those passes were not meaningful.
