I think the lack of a veteran backup was an understandable concern the past two years (especially in '08), butFlynn is in his third season now, and he should be able to accomplish something when he comes into a game. Unfortunately, yesterday was proof to the contrary. They may need to rethink their backup QB situation for next year.

Guess we better evaluate our starter as well since our backup put more points on the board than the starter. Last weekends game proved nothing to this point one way or the other.

You can apply that adage to backups too. Backups already had a shot but couldn't cut it.

The only reason why Flynn is serviceable here in Green Bay is because we don't sign anybody for him to compete with. McCarthy is insistent upon bringing in young pups to learn from him rather than bringing in the best guys possible to push each other.

Favre was successful during his first half decade because he always had someone breathing down his neck while Holmgren watched him scared. (Mark Brunell... Ty Detmer, some apologists might even throw Matt Hasselbeck in that mess).

Rodgers deserves all the grooming he's gotten from the organization, and I know that nobody can compete with him at quarterback, but there's no reason why our backup can't be somebody who's been in the league and seen a few things Rodgers hasn't.

Make fun of those guys all you want, but I'd take Jon Kitna, Shaun Hill, Chad Pennington, or J.P. Losman over Matt Flynn any day.
