A "What If" Scenario for starting QB

[AtlPackFan]

You are bored, aren't you.

Late reply...again. My belief is you go in with Flynn as your #1.

Maybe I'm remembering wrong but does this hypothetical remind anyone of Brady/Bledsoe???

In training camp the following year if he didn't return, absolutely. If ARod was ready to go at the end of that season that Flynn played well, no. There would be competition but ARod would be my #1 to start. I don't believe a player should lose his job becuase of injury.

Let me propose a scenario to see if I understand you correctly. Let's say Rodgers plays like crap for two games and gets injured going out 0-2 as a starter, but recovers and is able to return week 15. Under Flynn, the Packers go 10-2, and Flynn plays outstanding football. Are you saying that you would turn the starting job back over to Rodgers in week 15?

That's what I was thinking.

GBM, if you are gonna have a dream/fantasy, have Flynn lead us to the Lombardi trophy, not just a 10-6.

Were you hittin the shots this Labor Day weekend? I know I was.

In that case I would stick with Flynn as to not mess with chemistry. If ARod doesn't return. ARod is #1 come training camp. In either case their is a competition in training camp but ARod starts as #1 splitting snaps in camp equally with Flynn.

But why do that when Arod on his last year of a contract and we have a guy that proved he can play with Flynn and we'd still have Brohm as a backup and a guy that can be groomed if Flynn was a fluke.. why pay money to Rodgers if he didn't prove anything? Thats why only problem in the "what if" scenario

Becuase if ARod goes through traing camp, beats Flynn and then has a great season, you still have Rodgers(if you can resign him) AND Flynn. You try to resign Rodgers at that point. OTOH, If Flynn is truely better at that point he will beat ARod out anyway. There is no harm in letting ARod be #1 on the depth chart, especially if he is equally sharing snaps with Flynn.

Wouldn't it be a setback in the progress of Flynn and Brohm? Flynn wouldn't be getting the reps he needed to become a better starting QB and Brohm wouldn't be getting as many developmental snaps.. I'd rather trade Rodgers while he has some value and get something for him while having 2 QBs on our roster that might be better than any other roster

No he is getting equal snaps as Rodgers. I am not penalizing Rodgers for an injury. If Rodgers beats out Flynn, I trade Brohm. If Rodgers doesn't I let him walk at the end of the season. But I don't trade Rodgers because of injury.

but the scenario had Rodgers stinking before he was hurt.. that was my thing for trading him because some other team may be in QB need and take a shot on the guy

but the scenario was two games long for Rodgers. Under that I don't penalize Rodgers. I also protect myself in the event that Flynn flames out year 2.
