    Tolzien Signs Deal with Packers

    Packer Report ‏@PackerReport 9m9 minutes ago
    #Packers have re-signed Scott Tolzien. One year, $1.35 million according to a source.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Goodbye Matt Flynn. I think it's the right move. Flynn did good work for the Packers, but the shine seemed to wear off last year. Bring in a young guy to develop.

    Experience is the only reason Flynn was the backup last year. Tolzien outplayed him in the preseason games. I agree it's time to move on from Flynn whose arm limits what the Packers can do when he's in there.

    Seems like an awfully generous contract for a guy who has done nothing.

    They must see something in him at practice that we haven't seen yet. I'm eager to see how he performs this summer. I suspect under the tutelage of MM, Clements and Van Pelt Tolzien could be a decent backup for us.

    Hopefully their "vision" is better than when they gave Graham Harrell a big increase to stay with them.

    Tolzien has shown more than Harrell ever did and can be better. Besides, everybody knows that Badger QBs are the best backups in the league.

    I wonder if Flynn's elbow is really done. There's not much age difference between the two, Tolzien will be 28 this year, Flynn 30. Tolzien hasn't shown much his 4 years in the league.

    Seems weird. Maybe he's MM's pacifier - it's just comforting to have him around even if he serves no real purpose.

    Seems like you coulda got him for a lot less. Probably not much more than the vet minimum.

    Flynn looked like Jim Zorn out there last year. 1985 Jim "bounce pass" Zorn.

    Yes, poor Flynn looked awful out there when he went in for Rodgers. I'll be shocked if anyone offers him a backup role this year.

    Of course if you look at the QBs available in FA and the QB crop outside of the top 2 in this draft Tolzien might be the best option for us presently.

    In the pro's as well as college
    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 ?
