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.
OK, keep 3 QBs. I take it then that the plan is to keep Flynn ahead of Tolzien next year too. Otherwise, what is gained by procrastinating the decision to promote Tolzien?
You are keeping a less talented player buried in the depth chart because you can't bring yourself to take a risk. That same risk will always be there.
I wonder if its too easy to dismiss his attractiveness to teams. He was signed by a team with Norv Turner as HC then picked up by Harbaugh for 2 years. Then the Packers came calling. It would be easy to dismiss Norv and AJ Smith (even though they tended to find decent QB prospects) but the other two teams seem to be a good recommendation.
I think he gets picked up if waived and other waiver fodder would be worse. Flynn might get picked up too, if last season was marred by his elbow trouble. Though he would be more likely to last for some time until a team needed a stop gap vet.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Yea, because signing QB's after TC who had never been in the GB system worked out so well last year.
Tolzien has outplayed Flynn in the preseason, but I suspect that the Packers trust Flynn more because of his regular season track record. For that reason they will probably keep both, with Flynn as the number 2.
