    ^^^ I'd give you more rep, but I have to 'spread the wealth' apparently.

    I just checked and the Brett Favre backup's in your post combined for a total of 6 TD's as Green Bay Packers.

    Ty Detmer had 1 TD; Mark Brunell had 2 TD's and Matt Hasselbeck had 3 TD's.

    Its not lost upon me that the NFL's longest consecutive game QB would have backups that got little to no playing time. My point was that they all turned out to have productive careers. If TDs are your yard stick, Brooks had 123, Detmer 34, Brunell 184, Hasselback 201, Bono 62, Pederson 12, Warner 208. Some would consider all of them better backups than Graham Harrell (0), BJ Coleman (0) or Seneca Wallace ((31)Zero with the Packers).

    I don't need TT to draft someone that will be trade bait someday, ala Ron Wolf. Kinda liked that about Wolf, but don't think TT needs to copy him in that respect. I like the idea of having a guy like Flynn who has game experience, but likely won't get another real shot at a starter's job. I also like having a third QB who is developmental, like a Tolzien or even another undrafted QB to push Tolzien, and then push Flynn. TT and MM was taking the backup job too lightly, but finally got it right.

    when was the last time TT traded anyone away? drafting a guy to turn into trade bait down the road only makes sense if you actually trade the guy before his time on the team is up

    Trades just aren't that common. The QB spot is so key and so fragile that if you have the chance to draft a guy you think can be a high quality NFL starter, you draft him, and then pray you don't need him before his contract is up.

    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
