A "What If" Scenario for starting QB

[GBRulz]

So I'm bored and am just curious as to what others think about this.... Let's say we're 3-6, playing the Bears at home. We're down 27-17 late in the 4rd qtr. Rodgers gets hurt and Flynn comes in and leads us to a come from behind victory. Rodgers is out for the remainder of the season and Flynn leads us to a final 10-6 record, losing in the divisional round of the playoffs.

My question is... do you go into the following year with the starting QB job up for grabs or should Rodgers automatically get it again?

And if you have an open competition, do you let Brohm compete for it, too? I know there are only a limited amount of snaps to go around during camp, but I guess I'm high on Flynn and I think he's going to be a much better QB than Brohm. Just the Miss Cleo in me talking....

i just can't imagine Flynn being the backup. Can't wrap my head around that one.

I think if Flynn does that well, you at the very least have an open competition. It's not necessary to include Brohm unless he's shown something to make you believe he could handle the job.

I am of the belief that no QB loses his job because of injury. Rodgers starts as #1 and Flynn must beat him out to get it.

I would say you go with the hot hand. At that point, it seems to me that Aaron would have to earn the job back. Sure, you can't help injury, but you also cannot demote a guy who has stepped up and taken advantage of a bad situation.

Yup, I would agree although the contract stuff with Rodgers would be interesting.

how about a temporary retirement?

Very funny!

Trade him to the Jets and let him battle it out next season if Big B comes back ...

Sooo, THAT explains why you are so bitter towards Favre. You thought that the Majik Mullet Man should have gotten his job back!!

Back to the topic at hand... Rodgers didn't beat out anyone for the #1 spot. It was given to him. Ok, let me rephrase, he was groomed for it. But if you have Flynn outperforming him, don't you at least give them a chance to compete?

trade rodgers for some picks and then let flynn/brohm be your duo

Nah. You resign Rodgers regardless. Can never have too many quarterbacks. But, you make it crystal clear whats his face has a shot at it.

agreed. And while you're at it, unload Greg Jennings so Jordy Nelson can move up to the ladder. The backup LBs showed great potential, get something for AJ Hawk now.

Until he shows me something and can do so consistently, I'm not comfortable with Brohm being anywhere in the top 2 QBs on this team.

If we had a losing record and we entered a 7th round pick that led us to 10-6 and still had another 2nd rounder to groom incase that was a fluke.. ur telling me we should resign a QB and give him a ton of money even if he didn't prove anything?... I dont understand that logic
