    Harrell just isn't an NFL quality QB. We gave him every chance in the world but he never really improved.

      But if Rodgers can't play for a game or 3 VY will give us a better chance at winning than Harrell ever did.

        I really like VY as a serviceable back up, let's just PRAY we don't need those services.

          exactly. As happy as I am that Young was taken over Harrell, I hope I never see him play a snap, unless the Packers are winning by several TDs.

            I think he means Ed McMahon. Or Josh "the Man" McCown. It's down to the wire between those two.

              Maybe a little bit, but Vince also displayed a lot of Ugly. I would say Harrell lost it--big time.

                No way, he looked like a guy who hadn't played football for two years, and then within three weeks he looks like a seasoned pro. Can't expect any more than that.

                I imagine the Packers are mostly looking at Vince as a 1-year stand. But there is some chance this could be 2 or 3 season shackup. It's not clear that VY can ever command starter money around the league, and the Packers could use a placeholder until it is time to groom Rodger's replacement. But I'm way ahead of myself, lets see if he it makes the team.

                    So then you agree, he wasn't terrible?

                      • Clefty sometimes wonders what is being evaluated in preseason. Take a short run early in the game. Harrell has a single back (lacey), a fullback (Kuhn), a tight end offset in the backfield, and a single wide receiver. There is a single safety deep and a corner on the WR, but otherwise there are nine defenders close on the LOS. The Packers run for minimal gain and even the announcer, Ian (I-an not E-an) Eagle (I-an not E-an)) point our that Lacey breaks four tackles, but a defender is still there. Well, what are the options? To think that the run blocking is awful, or to perhaps wonder whether Harrell was being evaluated whether he knew enough to check out of a terrible play call. Rodgers would have checked to the WR and thrown a slant (or whatever pattern he checked to). Or was Harrell compelled to run the play because the staff wanted to evaluated the blocking against 9 in the box. Very hard to tell, but what Cleft knows for certain is that play would very likely never have been run in the regular season.

                          I'm supposed to believe this team is Super Bowl bound and Vince Young's career is now considered HOF material because he had a good preseason drive? What exactly am I supposed to be "eating shit" for?

                            • The burn. Feel the burn. That's those humility muscles getting exercised. It's healthy to be wrong now and then, prune away a little of the excess ego. Why I remember back in 2008 I was wrong on a player. Or maybe it was 2009 - I could be wrong.

                                it's not exactly a résumé builder to say you are a better QB than Graham Harrell. Pretty close to receiving a trophy in little league for getting 'hit by pitch.'
