Culpepper open to backup role with the Pack?

[mission]

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- If the Green Bay Packers change their mind about having two rookies back up quarterback Aaron Rodgers this season, veteran free agent Daunte Culpepper is willing to listen

"I have not heard from the Packers since before the draft," Culpepper said in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Thursday night. "My ears are definitely opened to listen if they need a proven backup for Aaron."

I love the quote from Brohm
"I don't think we need to bring in a veteran backup because I think all three of us are ready to go," Brohm said.

Nobody else is signing Fumblepepper. He will be there if needed.

If Rodgers goes down there might be an opening on the roster.

Why cut a Packer player for the likes of Fumblepepper?

We will ride out the risk to Rodgers. Even next year, 2 second year reserves will not be ideal.

It is a very risky 2 years (without Brett).

Fumblina...I just cant deal with the idea of him on the Packers.

After watching Brohm and Flynn, I'm all for it.

[POLISHHAWK]

As much as I hate seeing him getting his role on; he would be better than what we have at backup.

I think they will wait for the cuts and see what's there.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Has he even been working out? Can he work out? Does he still look like the Pillsbury doughboy?

I thought Flynn played pretty well, Brohm holds the ball too long, the scary part is that the line is giving up sacks like crazy and it doesn't matter who is in Rodgers probably would have been sacked 4 times had he stayed in more than 1 minute. So in that sense I agree with you Harv better sign someone at this rate we will be on our third QB by the 6th game.

I'm Ok with it, so long as the Pack doesn't lose either rookie, and they put something in Peppers' contract that he can't do that thing with his hands after a TD pass.

[MadtownPacker]

The only reason TT should sign culpepper is so they can cut him at halftime of the MNF opener against his old team. Then all the Lambeau crowd can get their roll on as he is escorted to the parking lot.

It's hard to do, but I agree with that

Brohm's getting a lot of heat for crappy preseason play in his rookie year. It kind of reminds me of the heat Rodgers got for crappy preseason play in his rookie year.

You don't like what you've seen from Flynn? I do, at least enough to not want to put him on the PS so another team can snatch him up. They'd have to carry 4 QB's on thier 53 man roster in order to bring in a veteran. Flynn has rightfully earned his spot on our team IMO. And I don't think they want to get rid of Brohm just yet either. It's a numbers game, and I just don't see enough numbers available to bring in a veteran.

After seeing Chilly's response to last night's preseason game, if you put Flynn on the practice squad he will be a Viking by the next morning.

where have I heard this before?? A guy we wanted in camp to learn the offense and work with the team told us no, but now that all the work is done, he is interested? He is of little use at this point.
