So many people voted stupidly and incorrectly in the first poll that it seems reasonable to try again now that the picture is clearer. We're a nation that believes in second chances.
I previously thought they would keep both, but with mounting injuries, I think the roster spot has gone up in value.
Still don't think the Pack are going to go into the season with only one backup given what happened last year. Tolzien #2, Flynn#3

Both make the original 53. However, If TT finds a waived player from another team worth picking up, Tolzien could be waived.

Tolzien? Try Flynn. I voted for keeping just Tolzien - I think the poll was "want", right - not what we think will happen?
The only way either is likely to leave is if Ted gets a decent offer of a draft choice in trade - and I think that would only be considered if the offer was for Flynn.
I think greedy Ted would trade either for a #6 or better draft pick. He'd trade his mom for a #3. Draft picks are catnip to TT. Flynn looked good tonight. Either guy is fine for the #2 job, IMO.
Tolzien. They roll the dice and figure Flynn will not get picked up but ST might.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Is "ST" Seattle?
I think either Flynn or Tolzien will get picked-up if they are cut. Tolzien immediately, Flynn later.
ST = Scott Tolzien. I think the Matt Flynn experience from last year argues it would take a lot for him to get picked up. Though, to be fair, he has said he is healthy.

Duplicate post from elsewhere. HH, you need a fifth option:

I give up RT @RobDemovsky Clearing up Scott Tolzien's practice-squad eligibility. Guess what? He's eligible NFL says http://es.pn/1vStz5b

I don't think practice squad eligibility creates an extra option. It might mean the Packers are more likely to cut Tolzien but that's doubtful. TT certainly would not be counting on Tolzien clearing waivers.
The practice squad talk is a psychological crutch for the weak, lily-livered types in our midst who don't want to face making a hard choice. Very sad.
Lets see Tolzien against the #1s because last year he was bad against a few teams' number 1 D.
The problem with the Flynn #2 + Tolzien #3 choice is you won't see Tolzien play this year in all likelihood. So then fall 2015 the team is at same place all over again.
I think the team needs to make a choice. If they don't think Tolzien will be effective in real games, cut him and go with the Flynn security blanket. Keeping Tolzien as a #3 is just a way of avoiding having to make a decision, and that is not worth the price of a roster spot.
Or keep both.
OK. But if you aren't going to promote Tolzien to #2, what is the point? You aren't going to learn anything about Tolzien this year.
Tolzien has more talent than Flynn. That will always be true.
Flynn has more experience than Tolzien. If you aren't willing to promote Tolzien of Flynn, that will remain true.
It is not worth using up a roster spot if you aren't willing to take a risk and promote Tolzien ahead of Flynn.
If Rodgers goes down and Flynn goes down what then?
I'd want Tolzien's upside.

Of course last year he was thrown into the fire after Wallace got hurt and really didn't know the offense like he does now so I don't put a lot of weight on his performances last year. If I can find an online feed of the game tonight I will be watching both Scot and Matt closely.
Flynn. Neither will be good enough to trade for a pick. They're about the same age and price. Tolzien has a stronger arm but hasn't ever shown anything in a game. Flynn has proven he can win. If Rodgers goes down for a game or two, it won't matter either way. If he goes down for 8 games, I don't think it matters much either way if it's Flynn or Tolzien. I tend towards keeping Flynn, personally.
