    Brohm is showing signs of pressure. He's had lousy practices according to JSO since his mediocre debut. I'm convinced he'll be fine eventually, but it's not gonna look good on his resumé if he gets pipped by a 7th rounder with only a year at college as a starter....

    You guys panic way too early. There is a lot to being an NFL QB. In a matter of 10 seconds you have to get to the line, survey the defense, consider how the play you have called is going to mix with the defense they have called, spot protections, keep an eye out for signs of disguised blitzes and be ready if the coverage it looks like they're in now is different than the coverage they're acctually in (basically having a whole second plan of attack if there is a disguise) by the time the ball is snapped and I'm not an NFL QB and only have 15 years of listening to former ones but I imagine there is more. Plus, you have to excecute and keep good fundementals during all of it which in itself is a mountain of a task, although these guys seem to be throwing accurate, well placed balls for the most part (compared to the complete misses of young QB's of the past).

    They've had a couple weeks of camp. The goal is to have Brohm ready to not choke it up by the start of the season and ready to win some games by the middle of it. The best you can hope for from one of these proven garbage QB's is that they won't choke it up. Look at that ball sucker that Minny got from Cleveland last year, I forget his name. He was pure shit. He was better than the other pure shit they had, but whoopity fucking do. That's nothing to shoot for and nothing we should all be crossing our fingers for. Let's put some faith in the guys who draft and the guys who say they're up to the challenge of getting these guys ready. It's very early and the Packers are bold enough to go with talent, upside, and trust in their coaching rather than panic stricken desperation that would probably lead to us lsoing a long term talented player (flynn) when we might have two damn good young guys on our roster right now. McCarthy seems to think so anyway. Bottom line, you guys are a bunch of scared pussys. No wonder you don't like TT. He doesn't run around making sure every little scary object in the room is put under the bed before you go to sleep. Put your big man pants. Damn it.

      Are the 20 who voted "we good" still confident that we are a playoff team with Aaron Rodgers, 2 wide eyed rookies, and a shaky interior OL?

        Like I said in another thread, TT and MM are crazy if they think we can ride this season out with Arod and the two rooks. I'd be shocked if there wasn't a vet QB on the roster come week 1.

          Flynn looked tough in the pocket considering the ass kicking he was taking.

            So did David Carr.

              Let's not get our undies in a bundle.

              Yes, Brohm struggled last night. My hope is that Ted can pick up somebody like Simms, or some other veteran after the first cutdown. Tampa can't carry ALL six QB's

                  See if you can get Garcia from Tampa. He knows the WCO. They don't need a long-term solution, just a stop-gap.

                    Garcia is their starter. Why would a playoff team want to trade their starting QB at this point?

                      I thought he was on the outs there?

                            I'd like to change my vote to "Yes, Yes, a Thousand Times Yes!!!!".

                            I think Brohm might best be summed up as "Isn't good, never was good, never will be good."

                                Oh, absolutely premature but I've never liked Brohm and he's done absolutely nothing to earn my confidence, or really the confidence of any other Packer fan. It's like he's never played QB before out there.
