Compensatory picks this year

[Patler]

Wasn't there another Packer lineman of relatively recent vintage who was thought of as the perfect stop gap backup (you could survive and win with him for a couple of games) but who was considered a non-starter as a starter?

Does that remind anyone of a O lineman the Packers kept around for a while? Its been bugging me since the center discussion about EDS. You might not want to start him, but you don't want to lose him. The Jarret Bush of the O line.

Not sure who you might be thinking of, but the one who they really talked up for that role was Adrian Klemm going into his second Packer season. They called him a "super-sub" for both guard and tackle, saying in hindsight he was a tackle more than guard anyway. But, a torn achilles ended his career in TC.

Tony Moll.

Wow. My memory is getting bad. Had to go to the Packers All-Time roster to find the name. Barry Stokes and Grey Ruegamer would also have qualified, but they weren't the name I had in mind.

Ahh, a Timmerman mention. Gotta love a native of Cherokee, Iowa!

Tough call. Being able to win a couple games with a backup QB can make the difference for playoffs; however, the chances of a lineman going down are much greater -- there are five of them.

** "Our team is 'only' as strong as Aaron Rodgers backup."

From... "An NFL team is only as strong as it's backup QB."

** Is that an accurate statement?
