I've seen how little upside Tolzien has when I watched every Badger game he played in. Whether seeing him in person or on tv, it was not very impressive. Flynn gets it done, it may not be pretty but he gets it done.
Yet you lack the decisiveness to cut Tolzien outright. You want to use a roster spot for him "for the future"? Why hang on to a guy who is not very impressive? Surely there are other not-very-impressive QBs that could be brought in later. TT usually prefers to go with 2 QBs.
I'm curious, people who are voting for a 3 QB roster this year, does that mean you think GB should keep 3 QBs every year?
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 they keep both on the 53. tolzien wouldn't make through waivers to put on ps. both played well tonight. i think flynn gets the #2 but i wouldn't be surprised or upset if tolzien got it.
Am I the only one who thinks there are throws that Flynn just simply can't make any more? I don't know the whole story on the elbow injury, but seems to me he has missed on just about every throw over 20 yards in the air and rarely shows any "zip" on shorter throws. I honestly don't think he can make either of the throws that were Tolzien's TDs last night.
That said, I voted keep both. At least for a week. Drop either and I believe the Seahawks pick them up and pump them for our offensive calls.
That's what I keep coming back to. Even last night, Flynn missed some throws he should have made, yet he had an 86 yard drive for one TD and a 94 yard drive for another. Sure, the second one was helped tremendously by penalties, but he took advantage of them. It has sort of been the story of his career. He's never been good enough, yet he makes it work. To me, he is kind of the ideal backup, one that could be around a long time, until Rodgers' heir-apparent is found.
I guess I just don't have the same confidence in Tolzien that I have in Flynn, and since the hope is neither will ever become the starter, I like the reliability of Flynn to pick up the pieces if it becomes necessary.
Its interesting that the poll is between Flynn over Tolzien and Tolzien over nothing. The most conservative and most risky choice.
70% of the Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Al Harris.
If you don't think Tolzien is good enough to be the heir to Rodgers, then cut his sorry ass.
How's that for decisive, blue dog?

Tolzien may be risky relative to Flynn, but if you look around the league, the #2's are a lot of #2. Tolzien is not risky by league standards.
Keeping Flynn>Tolzien is conservative in that you avoid making choices that could fail. But is it really conservative to spend extravagantly on QB resources? That does not fit-in with the Thompson style of GMing. He believes in cutting players a year early rather than a year late. Out with the old, in with the upcoming.
