Flynn getting a slight injury is a blessing in dee skies. Thompson needs to make a decision on Brohm, and what better way to hold a tryout.
No decision is guaranteed. They could cut Brohm and he could be an NFL starter in two years, no way to know for sure. I don't think they should keep him just because he is a 2nd round pick, that is water over the dam. I hope his performance tonight pushes Thompson to a decision one way or another.

If they cut him, I doubt they care that much if somebody picked him up.

Watching Brohm, it's hard to envision that he had a successful D-1 college career. He looks like some non-drafted player from a small school being given a tryout, and finding himsel to be way out of his league. Then, when you consider that he has been doing this with Green Bay for more than a year already, it is totally unbelievable.Originally posted by packerbacker1234It's just amazing seeing such a big difference between Brohm and Flynn. I mean, Flynn when he's on the field looks like he can actually play this game, meanwhile Brohm just looks lost.
Supposedly Brohm is a highly intelligent man, and won a number of academic awards, etc. I once read a report about desirable characteristics in different professional athletes, not just football players. For QBs it said they must be smart, but not too smart. If they are used to always getting the "right" answer they will freeze in the fast paced environment of the NFL, unless they are willing to go with their instincts rather than knowledge. While acknowledging some successful, very smart QBs, they listed some of the highest achievers academically who failed miserably in the NFL inspit of outstanding college careers. Their conclusion was to look for someone perhaps smarter than average, but not one who is truly outstanding academically.
I have thought of that article when I watch Brohm. He plays very hesitatingly, and I doubt it is because he doesn't know the mechanics of the play, but because he can't decide on an option without knowing that there might not be a better one further in the progression. He can't say, "Good enough!" and take it.

Hey, that's okay. He taught m e everything I know. And I have a well-stocked wine cellar and a daughter in high school with lots of friends!Originally posted by mraynrandI'm sorry you had to experience such a troubled childhood.Originally posted by FritzAccording 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."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

I watched the Tampa/Miami game last night and McCown looked okay but it is hard to tell how good he could be cuz he was running for his life most of the time. Leftwich was horrid.
He has a decent arm but his accuracy leaves something to be desired. Unless Tampa's offense turns it around in 2 weeks I didn't see anything there that would cause a defensive cooridinator to lose any sleep.
