Sign Vick? - Then What with Flynn/Brohm?

[woodbuck27]

These are all interesting scenarios; thanks for the feedback.

My opinion at this point is that Vick's a guy who's been out of football for a couple of years and was never considered a pinpoint passer or a guy who would fit particularly well in a west coast offense. When you combine those qualities with his baggage - even if he's Mr. Reformed he'll still bring a circus - I just don't see that signing him helps the Packers at the QB position - not for a while, anyway.

However, if the Packers did bring him on board, I would consider giving him the spot a third tight end might otherwise have and then use Vick maybe five or six times a game in some kind of option formation, or as Patler suggested, perhaps as a kick returner, since Blackmon is supposedly better at punt returns than kick returns.

I'd be hesitant to give up on Brohm or give away Flynn, and Woody, I don't think that packaging two busts will net you much in return. If the Lions packages Drew Stanton and Jordan Dizon, what do you think they could get for those two right now?

I never suggested packaging Brohm with any other bust. I'm not even sure Brohm is a bust yet. I'm suggesting that instead of just cutting Brohm we may land some future value out of his high draft position if we package him in a trade that would satisfy us and the trade partner. Packaged trades are made regularly in other Pro sports such as baseball and hockey and not so much in the NFL, yet not inconceivable.

Who trades for a bust?

Aren't you the one who is usually suggesting that we can't claim "bust" too soon?

It is only the guys second season, we must be patient! Ted does not make mistakes. Brohm will be "world class" very soon. He's destined to be the best backup quarterback in the league. Just you wait.

Not my word. The previous post said that he was "screaming I'm a bust" so we should trade him.

Why repeat the same topic...and fuck Brohm....

Fritz you are Snake's Fave, but alas without Drew giving you a good rub down on your old ass arthritic joints you are not the same:

Well, Snake, as the man with size, speed, brains, surely you have the connections that will get me all hooked up with Drew so I can return to my former prime-time level.

Just a side note, by the way. Ol' Fritz is a great guy, and handsome, too, but has never been able to "close the deal" with a woman. So if you can not only set me up with Drew, Snakey, but also be sure she's willing to head to my hotel room in Green Bay, that would be much appreciated.
