Sign Vick? - Then What with Flynn/Brohm?

[Fritz]

I've asked this in a couple of threads but outside of a couple responses, not much has been said.

So here's the question: for those of you who would like to see the Packers sign Vick, what would you do about the other two backup QB's? Would you be willing to cut one? If so, which one? If you think you could trade one, which one would you trade and how much - realistically - do you think the Packers could get?

[Bretsky]

Vick the prick can go to the Raiders where he belongs

Flynn has to stay

And too early to get rid of Brohm when teams know he's blowed as a players so far and the value for the pick we got for CWill would bring us is a late round pick and a day old McDonalds Double Cheeseburger.

I was of the mind that the Vikings should keep 4 QBs if Favre signed. With Vick, I think the Packers should do the same. Can't dump Brohm yet and Vick is a big question mark and a half assed QB anyway. That means dumping Flynn means someone picks him up and he's gone.

I would keep 4 qb's...but if it came down to dumping one...trade Flynn for a 5th round pick or a proven punter. Too much invested in Brohm to let him go...I think he'll come around.

Flynn has shown 3x Brohm so far; he's a leader as well. You don't let that one go yet IMO.

The decision about what to do with Vick's roster spot doesn't need to be made just yet. Considering that if he were signed, McCarthy would probably get him involved in ways other than "backup QB", he could easily take the space of the third TE (since Humphrey will be on some sort of injured list) or the second FB (though, that's unlikely since Quinn Johnson doesn't look ready to start just yet.)

I know that many are high on Flynn...but I'm not. He's had a few good practices. In those practices...he has been better than Brohm...but Flynn isn't a solid backup in my opinion. The only reason I would trade Flynn is because of the big investment in Brohm. Vick is a million times better than Flynn...at this point.

Vick of "two years ago" was far better than Flynn

Flynn looked better than Brohm last year; Brohm is a lot more quiet while many have commented Flynn is a take charge kind of leader.

Flynn and Brohm both went to the QB camp by MM and it appears, from all readings, Flynn has taken a big step forward while Brohm has taken a little step ahead.

Remember Flynn ran a unique offense in college that differs a lot from the NFL so IMO he has some upside as he progresses.

Honestly I don't like Flynn that much; but if GB would cut one of them right now it's Brohm.

I don't buy the big investment theory; we waited forever on a past 2nd rounder. If they overrated him then they overrated him; it's not a reason to hang onto him too long

It's too early to cut either of them loose but if Brohm is junk then cut ties when you've figured that out. I remember a former 2nd rounder we kept WAY too long and every year was the year.

Good argument, Bretsky. I get what you're saying.

But if it came down to it...I'd rather have Vick over Flynn.

Honestly, I think that rather than cutting Brohm, you should be able to trade him for something. As bad as he is, he's got to be better than somebody's third string QB, right?

Third string??!? The son of a bitch could start right now for the Vikings!

So far he's looked no better than Josh Booty

Damn Viking lover...can't even hate with me.

[Freak Out]

Can Vick punt? Imagine the fakes we could run with him! He has to be as good as BJ Sander.

Imagine Mike Vick holding for PATs and FGs...
