Flynn looks better than Brohm

[digitaldean]

I think two QB grooming projects is one too many to carry on a roster.

At the end of preseason, I would totally support Thompson bumping-off one of the the two rookies. Ya, it might make TT look like an ass for wasting a draft pick, but that decisiveness would impress me all the more.

I suppose cutting a 2nd round draft pick is pretty unheard of. I won't hold my breath.

I would have to think that the Packers would sign a late cut veteran. Especially one from Tampa Bay. I'd take Simms if they didn't trade him to Dallas.

Personally, there is a need for a veteran QB, even if it's a 3-4 year veteran. I'd put the 3rd stringer on the PS and make the #2 into the #3 emergency QB.

[Tarlam!]

If TT doesn't sign a vet, one has to think he is willing to sacrifice this season as a "re-building" year.

I hope he sticks to his guns and doesn't sign a vet. I am patiant. Our team is young. We have 5-6 years of opportunities as of now.

Flynn would be a good PS candidate, unless he plays 'too' well.

Agreed. Snatched up off that in a hurry.

Do you think with players who *are* project and don't fill an immediate need for an NFL team (right now), that there's a sort of gentleman's agreement between NFL GMs to not go nuts poaching other people's practice squads.

A guy like Flynn can't help anyone today and I suppose *all* teams have a few PS players they feel they can develop into a contributor ... wonder how, if at all, the good ol boys club plays out with this situation from a mutual respect perspective.

It doesn't. The Vikings tried to slide a 7th round QB prospect onto the practice squad last year and he was claimed. All teams try and improve their rosters any way they can. If Flynn shows enough he'd be claimed. If he's mediocre enough, he might slide through. Brohm would be claimed in an instant so the PS isn't an option for him.

Makes sense

I think he should sign a vet but if TT wants to go for broke with his own picks than fuck it, Im down to ride. One of those 3 mofos has to be the guy.

[MadtownPacker]

he's already played too well.

Very true. TT can't cut Brohm and now he wont want to lose Flynn. Have to keep him.

Packers GM Ted Thompson gave his rookie quarterbacks a vote of confidence after their performance in Monday night's game.

Despite their struggles, Thompson said he likes them now more than he ever did. Thompson wouldn't rule acquiring another quarterback if one becomes available -- similar to the Ryan Grant trade late last preseason -- but he's not actively searching for an upgrade.

That makes sense. I guess I didnt know Flynn was as productive (moving the ball at least) as he was and then MM's comments about him challenging for #2. I'm all for it! Gotta admit, I was a lil googly-eyed with a female by the fourth quarter... it was downhill from there.

Need to Keep both Guys on the active roster

The Packers should not gamble by placing Flynn on the practice squad.

TT needs to resign Craig Nall as the emergency backup. On game day based on performance either Brohm or Flynn is inactive.

Assuming A-rod plays well and signs a long term deal then the rookie qbs make great draft trades. (Detmer, Brunell, Brooks, Hasselbeck)

Just another example of TT's great drafting abilities.

Fuck Craig Nall. If that is the direction...might as well just stay with the rookies.

Time to get Gureski on the Nallphone!

Calling Gureski! Calling Gureski! People be talking about signing Nall yet one more time again.

What struggles? Were Brohm and Flynn really any worse than a lot of backup QB's in the first preseason game? I don't think so. Most teams are carrying 3-4 QB's right now. That means that the best unsigned guy out there is maybe the 100th best NFL QB. Damn it TT. Sign him already!

ya, they were real shaky. Of course there are three more games left for them to come around.

Don't you remember CRaig Nall, the preseason wonder? Lots of backups look competent in preseason.

Our backup QB's are, in a word, "scary". They look lost and that's fine because it is their first year. Which would be "ok" but we don't have anyone else. Rodgers looks like a deer caught in the headlights so it's only a matter of time before he goes down, hopefully not for long. Ted Thompson's "I am smarter then everyone else" ego is going to cost us football games this year. Rodgers will get injured, one of our rookies will have to play a snap or two. Didn't Rodgers first injury happen when the guy ran out of bounds and wasn't even touched? It is going to be an interesting season in Green Bay.
