Packers interested in Bucs QBs

[Harlan Huckleby]

Could be a Viking castoff soon.

The PAckers definitley need another QB. I say cut losses with Brohm.

IF TT was interested in a vet QB what then do they do with Brohm? I doubt they want to cut him lose right now. He is the perfect candidate to groom for the future as is Flynn. But I can't think they'd keep 4 QBs on the roster at the end of the day...

BB could go on the practice squad. Veteran qb is necessary.

I'm not sure Brohm is even eligible for th epractice squad. As bad as he's looked, he probably wouldn't get there. He was a second round pick last year, and he'd likely get a chance to be a developmental type QB elsewhere.

Eligible. Someone picking him up would have to put him on the active squad. Worth the gamble.

According to the JSO, Brohm's performances this week have been absolutely brutal. The dude seems to be absolutely imploding - I feel bad, embarrassed for him. Kinda like being in high school and watching your drunk father hitting on your female friends.

[Patler]

If Flynn's injury could linger, the Packers may have no choice but to release Brohm and bring in someone else. He was described this week as missing wide open receivers on short passes, and not being able to make the most routine throws. It sounds like there is no way they could risk having to play him for any extended time in a regular season game.

The next preseason game is critical for him.

Eeew. That's Joe Namath territory there. Are you sure Brohm screwing up on the field could compete with THAT?

So, was there anything to the Vick to GB rumors?
McCowan?

[Fritz]

I don't know much at all about the Josh Johnson guy. I take it he's a young guy with some upside? My guess is they'd pay more for that than for the standard-issue backup like McCown.

Weird headline though. "Desperate"? Concerned, sure, depending on the severity of Flynn's injury. If it's more serious than they're letting on, then yes, they need a #2 guy who can step in and play. If Flynn will be back for the start of the regular season, and the team is convinced that Brohm's head will never be yanked from his posterior, then they're looking for a third-stringer, basically, since they seem to like Flynn.

In the former case - FLynn's injury is worse than reported - McCown would seem to be the better target. He's a vet who could play, if I understand Johnson to be a raw prospect type.

If though it's the latter case, maybe Johnson's a better choice - he can sit as a third stringer and the Pack can evaluate his potential.

But then there's the Vince Young thing. Thompson seemed at least to be enamored of the guy before the 06 draft. But is he a head case? Can he be accurate enough as a passer?

Interesting times.

Poor Brohm. I really feel for the kid. It must be frustrating for him to struggle like he is and then has to watch Flynn play pretty well. It just seems like the speed of the pro game is too much for him. But if Brohm continues to struggle MM and TT might be able to risk cutting him and then placing him on the PS should he clear waivers. But I would hope they wouldn't cut Brohm and then go into the regular season with only 2 QBs on the roster!

[Lurker64]

Does Brohm still have Practice Squad eligibility? I don't know offhand, and was hoping someone else here would. I figure that he's been such a trainwreck with the Packers, that unless something momentous happens in the last 2 preseason games, he's going to get cut. Since Flynn is nicked, that means we probably need to bring in somebody else (I like Johnson best of the QBs Tampa would trade, but McNown is probably cheaper).

But you'd figure that with how incredibly terrible he's been ever since being drafted, no other team would want him (second round pick or not). So he'll probably clear waivers. Does that mean he's done, or can we stick him on the PS?

[Fritz]

Lurk, I think Joey Harrington is still getting look-sees.

Someone would snap up a kid who has only been around a year and may have a mental block.

A fresh start, all that. He'd never make it to the practice squad in my estimation.

leftwich would be nice.

I think Brohm is still PS eligible cuz he active for less than 9 games last season.

I'm not sure on the rules, but Brian St. Pierre is still eligible..and he has been in the league a long time.
