    FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION:

    Why is Callahan on the roster?

    It doesn't make sense to keep him as a backup to Hundley because, as Stubby has said, you can't win with him at QB. So why waste a spot on the roster with a player who can't help you win. Without Callahan on the roster we could add someone in his spot who is actually capable of helping the team win. Like Max McCaffrey. Or Reggie Gilbert.

    What if Hundley goes down and Callahan isn't active? No problem. There are plenty of other guys on the roster besides Callahan that could backup Hundley at QB without being able to help the team win. How about Jeff Janis, or Cobb? Or some skank from the defense that barely plays...like Donatello Brown. He could handle it. Or HaHa could take one for the team and play both ways.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    Are you suggesting we cut Calahan and try to get some other player aready on the roster and have them be Hundley's backup? Cobb might be the only guy who played QB at a higher level than college. Should we then take away a WR from the offense and have him learn this position right now? Seriously?

    This is a bit of a stretch. Cobb is 0-1 with a passer rating of 39.6 in his QB career in the NFL.

    I'm suggesting that the folks who think we can't win with Callahan -- including Stubby -- backup their words with action. Whether we cut Callahan or put him on the Practice squad, I don't care.

    If Arod goes down and the general consensus is we tank the season with Hundley at QB, what possible use is Callahan, especially if we're not going to play him? You can only tank the season once.

    For that matter, what use is Hundley if he’s not capable of playing at least replacement level QB? He sucks on ice right now and showing little signs of life. He’s no Mark Brunell

    probably, but Brunnel only threw 25 regular season passes or so for the Packers in one year. Same for Hasselbeck over two years. They weren't called upon to do much of anything. And when they went to their new teams they were the starters for the entire offseason program back in the days before work hour restrictions.

    BTW, why did Rodgers take 13 days off when Hundley needed him most?

    Funny how no one wants to build a team like the 49ers anymore.

    Or the Seahawks
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    The Vikings aren't going anywhere until they can prove they don't have a case of the Bengalitis.

    I WISH WE WEREN"T SITTING HER WITH CALLAHAN; BUT WE CUT THE QB I WANTED TO SEE HERE and THE SAINTS GRABBED HIM

    It's be fun to try to see if he has anything.
    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 ?
