Do we need a veteran back-up at quarterback?

[sheepshead]

Why not keep flynn as #2 and Brohm as #3? Then if Rodgers goes out and it's at all serious, you can sign a vet.

Yeah, but why take the risk. We were a QB machine in the 90's. What was the point? There is nothing to indicate either of these guys will be any good in the NFL, ever. I am all for developing QB's. Weve done it with Rodgers, but why should we try to develop 2 guys? A huge risky crap shoot in my view.

I think if it's between having a proven loser or a guy who might develop into a winner it's best to go with the guy who has upside even if there is some short term risk.

sure....but 2 of them?

Right, if there is a good quarterback on the scrap heap then I'd rather have another good QB that can play. I think people are puffing the magic dragon when they are so sure there are good quarterbacks looking for teams right now. There is a good chance that the best two QB's available to us are Brohm and Flynn. Brohm was a pretty highly regarded prospect and clearly Flynn has some talent too. When you don't have the iron man, there is a price to pay. The QB position isn't perfect right now. That is part of life after Favre. People trying to find answers or 100% comfort are just dillusional. They're happy with moving forward with Rodgers. Every year there is chance to win the SB. If we don't win it this year, if we lose games becaue Rodgers goes down, we have next year, the year after and the year after. You have to keep making good choices and if you make enough good choices you'll have a lot of opportunities and with a lot of opportunities comes a higher likely hood that all of the moons will align. It's not an easy task, but there is risk involved. Soemtimes it's short term risk. Sometomes it's long term risk, but building a football team is a game of risk/reward. Those who balance it best get the most chances to win the SB and many times do win it.

I saw Brohm in college a little, I never saw Flynn. What I have seen so far is horrible. I have no interest in either of these guys right now. TT will sign a vet QB in my opinion from the upcoming cuts and thankfully one of these guys will be cast aside.

Well, it seems like you have prematurely made up your mind about something you have no expertise or knowledge in. With that, this conversation is pretty much over.
