      HELL NO we don't need no stinking veteran backup.

      Brohm and Flynn (not necessarily in that order) will be just fine. It would be absolutely bonehead stupid to sign some over age piece of crap and have to cut Flynn.

      I see 71% in here along with a bunch of media idiots, disagree. I'm confident, though, that the only two who matter--Thompson and McCarthy--think like I do.

        It is a gamble.

        The risk diminishes over time.

        It will still be a gamble next year but less so and acceptable risk in 2010.

        2011 it will be a surplus and someone will be traded.

        If Rodgers can't go the whole season without injury then hopefully he can make it past the Metrodome week to give Brohm and Flynn more of a chance to learn.

          Maybe we need a vet QB but just say no to Culpepper. I don't any vets worth a roster spot though.

            What Tex said. Brohm and Flynn are cool with it. I bet, they see more action this year than A-Rod did his first 3 years... And, they'll be OK.

              I voted "no".

              I'd rather see us put Brohm on the fast track and hope Rodgers doesn't go down in the first couple games. By week 8 we should have two young QB's who could come in and manage the game. I just hate wasting roster spots on old has-beens that will never be mroe than sucky. At least the two we have now have a chance at being something.

                And I know it's risky, but high risk = high reward and the only way to win the SB is to have a lot of high reward. Good and safe isn't enough.

                  I'll vote after preseason. There's no reason to panic and get a vet now. But if Brohm looks as bad as he did on Monday all preseason then I think the answer is clear.

                        I guess I was thinking as theyre released. I agree it's a week to week deal. What if the season started Sunday?

                              I really missed that stuff from Tex. It's good to have him back.

                              I want a vet in camp, but I want him for A-Rod. I know we have a qb coach and all, but I think an older dude who's seen lots of crap could impart some wisdom to the young fella. Somebody to get all excited with him when he does well and to pat him the hinder when he throws a stupid pick.

                              Kind of a Mr. Miyagi thing, if you know what I mean.

                                If Rodgers should go down, we would have 2 rookier QB's to take on a starter's role.

                                How many rookie QB's can you name who performed well as starters?
                                I can only think of Dan Marino and Ben Rothlisburger(sp?)

                                Now how many rookie QB's can you name who flopped as starters?
                                I can name plenty, including Tim Couch, David Carr, Joey Harrington, Akili Smith,...

                                IMO, the Packers need to sign a veteran QB as a backup.
