Roster Depth

[The Shadow]

The Packers, for a change, now seem to be blessed with great depth - at every position but quarterback, and Flynn's shoulder injury (any word on severity yet?), along with Brohm's poor progress, only underscores that fact.
Brohm as the next line of defense after Rodgers could really derail a bright season.
Do the Packers cut bait now and sign a vet? Have they seen enough?
Who's available?

Flynn says his shoulder is fine via Pelissero's twitter.

M3 said when they checked it out, it appeared to be just muscular.

I think they wait till the final cutdown to do their catch and release.

I feel a little better about hearing this about Flynn's shoulder. Brohm looked a little better tonight but he has a long way to go. Even if TT and MM wanted to bring in a vet QB, who is out there worth bothering with?

Brohm is a nightmare. But so was A-Rod back in the day! :P

Rodgers wasn't even close to as bad as Brohm--even in his rookie year. His first year he kind of looked like Flynn now. He wasn't there, but you could see potential. He improved each of the next two years. By his second preseason, I think a lot of people thought Rodgers had a chance. By his third, there were a lot who thought he looked pretty darn good.

A-rod was pathetic in year one. (Recall the underthrows?) Year two was slightly better. Year 3 the light came on. Now we have a pro bowler.

BB is improving but not at a pace ready to be a legitimate number two.

ARod had a 101.1 passer rating in his second preseason. I'm not sure where people get that he sucked his second preseason. He wasn't as good as his stats, but he certainly flashed ability. He went 9 of 11 for 124 yards in preseason game #1 that year. Then, he went 3 for 6 for 111 yards with 2 TDs in preseason game #2 that year. He had a poor 3rd game, but playing against Tennessee's 1st team with mostly 2nd teamers he went 8 for 15 for 81 yards with 1 TD and 0 interceptions in the final preseason game.

In 6 preseason games, Brohm hasn't had one game with a passer rating above 68.8.

I've broken it down for you before, his 2nd preseason wasn't nearly as good as his QB rating would display.

He was terrible his first preseason. He was Brohm like bad. He was slightly better than Flynn is now in his second. His third he was great.

I think I'll trust my own opinion, but thanks for the effort.

IF Flynn's shoulder is okay, and Brohm is indeed showing improvement, even if it's slight, it would seem strange to cut Brohm now. If he goes backward in the next two weeks and coaches are convinced he's not NFL material, then sure, cut him.

But otherwise, keep him. If Flynn is healthy then Brohm can sit one more year as the #3. Then next summer we'll see if he's NFL-worthy and if so, at what level.

I think the roster depth will make special teams a great strength this year.

I wonder how this new ban on the wedge on returns will affect special teams.
