we now have a real qb controvercy

[red]

rodgers and brohm. a week before both drafts some said they could be the best qbs

both fell a long ways to us

both are very smart with lots of talent

[Tony Oday]

AR is the starter for sure. He has earned it, he knows the offense that is a real no brainer...

[Scott Campbell]

May the best man win.

We won't have a QB controversy until Brohm seasons for a year and learns how to play QB at the NFL level. Then we won't have a QB controversey until at some point in the 2009 season Rodgers goes down and Brohm steps in and plays very well. Then we'll have a real QB controversy, but not now.

Rookies don't have get to come in and challenge the jobs of players who have paid their dues and are now getting their opportunity. That's the way the NFL works.

I will. Apparently he doesn't know ESPN real well. I guarantee that while there is no controversy in GB, ESPN will make one up.

Brohm is a clipboard holder for 2008 unless Rodgers gets hurt, sure a bunch of folks on here will mention Brohm's name every time Rodgers throws a pick, it will get annoying , trust me.

[The Leaper]

No controversy. Rodgers has 3 years of experience with the team and 2 years with McCarthy's system.

Brohm should be the #3 QB this year...I hope to God we sign a veteran to a one year deal to back up Rodgers.

I think this is consistent with TT's philosophy. He likes giving guys competition. I don't think he wants any player to feel overly comfortable with his job. Now I don't mean that there should be a controversy this season---I think Rodgers' head start in terms of development means it's his job to lose, at least this year and maybe next. But after that, Rodgers will have had plenty of time to establish himself, and if he hasn't by then, Brohm is ready.

Even Favre was pushed a bit over the last couple seasons by having a high draft pick behind him. Perhaps Favre didn't need this kind of motivation, but he certainly put in extra effort to get himself in shape, and his performance improved from previous seasons. Now Rodgers knows he has to get it done or there's a capable guy behind him. Nothing is handed to him.

If all goes according to plan A, Rodgers does well and Brohm develops in McCarthy's QB school and we trade Brohm down the line for good value. But there's also a very palatable plan B: if Rodgers doesn't hold up, we have a prospect in the building. If plan B comes to fruition, I'd expect TT to acquire another viable backup for development down the line.

There is no controversy! Arod will hand Brohm the clip board and say it's your turn.

brohm's not this completely lost puppy like most college qb's that would come into this situations

he's been running the WCO for 4 years already

he has more experience running our system then a-rod has

[gbgary]

there won't be problem unless brohm clearly out plays rodgers in the pre-season and they still give the keys to rodgers.

Running a similar system in college and actually studying it and playing in it at the NFL level are two different things.

I'd agree with Leap, but I found out he was a moron in another thread. j/k

A vet QB will be brought in to back-up ARod, the starter.

L'Ville QB's scare me. That system generates a ton of offense, but the QB's it produces tend to be overrated. Brohm is the very best of that lot. I hope he turns out well for us.

& I think he will.

I don't see that happening trading Brohm for that fact the Rodgers is INJURY PRONE I mean he broke his leg during PRACTICE!
