Vince Young?

[Freak Out]

Lol.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Bob McGinn & Tyler Dunn had a lot to say about VY. http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/143684556.html

McGinn thinks that Young might give the Packers a better chance to win games than Harrell, although he wasn't predicting that. He also listed all the vet QBs that the Packers have tried while he has been a writer in GB, and it's not exactly a hall of success. Still, a few of them were good enough to fill out depth chart.

Eric Crouch (Rams) - cut
Todd Bouman (Vikings, Saints) - on roster for a month when Rodgers injured
JT O'Sullivan (Saints) - on roster 1 year
Akili Smith (Bengals) - cut
Billy Joe Tolliver (Saints) - cut
Danny Wuerffel (Saints) - on roster 1 year
Rick Mirer (Seahawks, Bears) - on roster 1 year
David Klingler (Bengals, Raiders) - cut
Steve Bono - (49ers) on roster 1 year
Steve McMahon (Bears) - on roster 2 years
Ken O'Brien (Jets) - cut
Mark Wilson (Raiders) - cut
Chuck Fusina (USFL) - on roster 1 year
David Woodley (Dolphins) - cut
Scott Brunner (Giants, Broncos) - traded in preseason

Rick Mirer 15-20 years ago.

Akili Smith was in the Packer camp a few years ago, wasn't he?

Yes, he was in our camp in 2003 but he didn't make the team. He is out of football now.

After a decade and a half, Ted finally signed a player with the "it" factor. This team is going places!

QFT

[Fritz]

Well, I was wrong about Young. I see the sense of that signing now, since Harrell has performed like a champion Hoover, and Coleman is as raw as a young prison convict's butt.

who the hell is Steve McMahon?

Looks like VY has won the backup job

Harrell is to be released according to pft

who the hell is Steve McMahon?

I got the first name wrong, obviously I meant Ed.

Vy being on the roster also means our d should get plenty of practice going against athletic QBs that can take off and run

Maybe the love child of Bob McNair and Ed McMahon.

Maybe he can get some tats for the San Fran prep week. I don't think Harrell lost the job so much as Vince Young won it. Harrell wasn't terrible, Vince recaptured a little of the magic.

I'm waiting for Skinbasket to appear and eat some shit.

[digitaldean]

No matter who is on backup QB, it's a major step down from Rodgers'. He's an elite QB. No backup is close to elite status. VY at least gives them an add'l dimension if Rodgers is out.

Why? Maybe he was being sincere.

When in doubt, RUB IT IN.
