Flynn looks better than Brohm

[texaspackerbacker]

Brohm didn't look bad, but it's true, Flynn looked a little more polished at this point.

I think either of them could step in and do all right --no washed up vet QB needed.

Also, both looked better than Rodgers in the very early stages of his career.

[boiga]

According to JSO, Tory Humphrey was at fault for the Brohm interception. He stayed in to block when he should have been at the receiving end of that pass.

Outside of that one incident, Brohm had the same numbers tonight as did Flynn despite being up against less scrub scrubs.

Give the guy another chance already.

Brohm didn't look bad,

Bullshit. He didn't look bad for a #3 QB who doesn't have to play for a couple years. But the backup job is for a guy who can step in and be the starter for the season. Brohm is not even close to being ready.

based on what? wishful thinking.

Harlan.. we gotta give him a few more looksy's before we just say he can't play... hell if we just threw in the towel this easy Favre nor Rodgers would be in the league still

[Bretsky]

Rodgers looked lost in his first season; the rookies will be up and down too. I'm fine going with them though. They will get better

I'm not saying they can't play. they just aren't ready to be #2's yet. They are #3 development types.


Hell, Favre was #4 on the depth chart his first year in the league.

Can't argue with you on that one... but I'll give em the preseason to make that judgment on them.. I think if Rodgers is lost or just simply plays bad, our season might be already lost even with a Vet QB so I'm ok with those 2 learning this year and playing if need be

[Brohm]

If Flynn and Brohm are neck and neck and we still need a vet, I wouldn't be surprised if we kept 4 QBs on the roster

I have no problem with them going with 4 QBs. Tampa Bay did it last year.

[mission]

You can say it was Humphreys fault on the interception and it probably was judging by MM's reaction on the sideline but come on, did you see the reply? there was 3 defenders there? i dont care if it was favre's fault, you still cant throw the ball.

either way, you could see a lot of first-game NFL jitters. i wont be too hard on him ... flynn looked decent tonight.

[run pMc]

My goodness...it's the first preseason game. The rookies' heads were probably swimming. Give them a little more time. If M3 thinks they can't do the job as a backup he'll ask TT to get someone who can.

[Fritz]

I've said this before but it's applicable here; it's amazing to me how flippin' lost rookie QB's look as they begin their NFL careers. Not just these two guys - most every one looks clueless. It's got to be the biggest transition of any position in any sport, going from college to the pros. Guys who were drafted at the head of their class look, well, like me the first few times they step onto the field for a game. Passes go to places where there's no receiver - no players at all. Other passes fly ten yards over a guy's head. It all just looks discombobulated and ugly.

It's a lot to ask a rookie to do - be a second string QB. I suspect TT's decision as to whether to get a vet will depend upon what the coaching staff ultimately thinks about Brohm and Flynn, especially. If they really, really like Flynn and don't want to take a chance on losing him, they might just keep the two rooks and cross their fingers.

I don't care how much you like Flynn...you don't go into a season with a potential playoff contender having 0 career starts on your roster at QB and 2 rookies.

I don't like keeping 4 QBs either.

[Tarlam!]

A-Rod will do fine and won't get injured. If he does go down, we'll be a run team.

No worries.

QB's who actually watch Rodgers know he is going to be the starter in GB for a long time if he stays off the cart. Nobody who has aspirations of starting will want to come here. Even Favre wouldn't back him up.
