Preseason Quarterback plan failing due to lack of Quarters

[texaspackerbacker]

Tex, if you think there isn't something to be concerned about having a QB group with no starts and two rookies, you're probably the only one. The concern has nothing to do with poor play in one game. It has to do with the realities with the lack of experience at the QB position. If I get a chance, I'll try to see if there are any comparable situations in recent NFL history.

Me and Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson. I call that pretty good company.

So you think they're NOT concerned? I guess they'd be the first worry-free coach and GM in the NFL....

Re: Preseason Quarterback plan failing due to lack of Quarte

If Flynn is playing well, does it really matter what round he was drafted in? It's not like he's from Southern Appalachian State. He led LSU to a national title. He's likely played against tougher competition than Brohm.

ya, but Brohm kicks ass in the punt, pass and kick competition. So it seems likely still that he will be the better bet. It would be somewhat painful to place Flynn ahead of him, Flynn is not so impressive physically. You are right, though, ultimately Flynn could be the better player, but Brohm deserves extra do-overs.

A preseason is not much time for ANY rookie to get up to speed. How much total playing time to they get, after all.

There's a difference between healthy natural concern, as any coach has, and the pessimism/negativity/near panic exhibited in a lot of the posts we've seen around here. If Thompson/McCarthy had anything vaguely resembling that, the posters crying for some worn out veteran QB would have had their wish by now.

well, then you will be backtracking like usual when TT signs a vet later...for a cheaper price than available now.

[texaspackerbacker]

Hell No! I never backtrack--well, almost never.

I really don't think Thompson would do that except for an injury that would put one of the current QBs on the injured list. If it did happen, though, I would certainly criticize the move--although probably not the highly successful GM making the move.

You'll be backtracking just like you did with favre.

The only real question is how long before you start blaming the media for the QB issue.

[texaspackerbacker]

I backtracked about Favre?

What could you possibly misconstrue as being anything like that?

The media to blame? Hmmm. I'll give that some thought ....... but wait ...... in order blame somebody, there has to be a PROBLEM. I see no problem here.

What about Mark Murphy, think he's worried?

[Cleft Crusty]

Thompson must be hoping at this stage that his starting QB can return. The season is beginning to unravel on Thompson and McCarthy, making for juicy stories for an objective, uninterested reporter.
