Vince Young?

[Upnorth]

When you have to defend the read option you sign Vince Young
When you sign Vince Young, you end up playing him in a game to confuse the defense
When you play him, he leads a 579 yard explosion
When he leads a 579 yard explosion you have rbaloha and Partial come back and join forces with an avalanche of "I told you so" posts
When rbaloha and Partial join forces you have to drink a lot of whiskey to be able to read the site
When you drink a lot of whiskey, your liver gives out and you die.

Don't sign Vince Young and die.

BUt what of the inevitable qb controversy with everyone wanting VY to start over Arron whats his name, then we have to start a Aaron Rodgers teh Living Legend thread, packerrats civil war insues and madtown starts a hidden moderator named Joe to lead us in a short term soap opera.

Actually now that I look at it SIGN VY, these are teh days of our packerrats lives

NOBODY is gonna want Vince Young to start over the best player - let alone QB - in the league.

From what I understand we bring people in all the time for a look-see but this time the player is one that folks recognized, that's all. If he's better than Harrell and Coleman I have no problem with it. It costs us nothing to take a peek.

[Patler]

All kidding aside, I think Young could be an interesting backup QB. I think I would feel better with him than with either Harrell or Coleman.

Don't be naive, there is no such thing as a free peek.

But seriously, the Packers seem to be trying every trick in the bag to motivate Coleman: praise his off season development, let him know they want him to win the backup job, then just as quickly let him know he could be out the door if his decision making doesn't improve this week. The JSO reporters all describe him as confident-to-cocky, so maybe his psyche can hold up on the roller coaster.

Interesting point. Didn't he make some comment about best 7th round pick ever, or something to that effect?

Maybe Young will be Exhibit A for the proposition that the league waits for no one more than a reasonable time. From top of the heap when drafted to bottom of the scrap heap just a few years later. Coleman has even less opportunity.

[hoosier]

Yeah, I think he said he was going to be the best 7th round pick in Packers history. (I wonder if he knew who his competition would be when he said that....) Regardless of what he might bring as a backup, VY definitely makes for a good lesson to youth--and you don't even have to sign him, just bring him in for a "visit."

I would think this would be more of a move to motivate Harrell. This is what, year 4 for Harrell and only 2 for Coleman? Seems to me that it's time for Harrell to shit or get off the pot.

[Freak Out]

Why not bring the guy in for a workout? See if he is serious about being a teammate again. The guy is not going to start and he "should" know that and keep his mouth shut. Do what is asked of you and work hard. If he shows he hasn't grown up what's the worry? Boot him.

[Freak Out]

If the Packers sign him Tex might show back up. That alone would make it worth it.

[Smeefers]

I'm alright with it, especially if he holds the ball for field goals. I like the threat of a fake.

[Guiness]

Can he play left tackle?

No, if they wanted a left tackle they'd have gone looking for a different former first round QB, JaMarcus!

[King Friday]

Who the hell cares? Maybe he has a good BBQ recipe that the Packers want for the Atrium.

One year deal

[pbmax]

Its gotta be read option prep first, then cheap acquisition of talent second. His film with Philly last year wasn't good. Unless they are very disappointed in Harrell and Coleman.

Mike Freeman and a Phillly writer both insist he is no longer the athlete he once was. Guess we'll see.

[Fritz]

Well, apparently they've signed Young Vince Young.

Maybe he's the backup and they actually run him on a few plays, though I hate the idea they'd take snaps from Rodgers. That would be nuts.

Maybe he's just the backup, and the team hopes it can hide Coleman on the PS. Harrell, I dunno.
