Zero, it's hard to not like Jordy Nelson, but aside from that, it looks like Thompson pretty much missed with the other second-round picks. Pat Lee looks like he may not fit the scheme and went to injured reserve, while Brohm was just god-awful.

I remember that year, experts had us picking Lee/Brohm/Finley with our first round draft choice. We ended up with all of them, but it only looks like Finley is going to pan out.

Flynn is solid, but I don't think he's fit to be the Matt Hasselbeck kind of guy that Brett Favre had.

That said, I would be shocked to see Ted Thompson go into the season with two quarterbacks. The team is in need of a proven backup or at least a QB with starting potential going into the season. *continues hoping for Tarvaris to get cut*

Well Jeff Garcia has reportedly been cut by the Raiders. There are plenty of guys out there that the Packers can pick up if they want a 3rd QB.

That's been predicted all pre-season, apparently he's not been getting on with JaMarcus Russell. Still he'd be an incredible back-up, A-Rod doesn't need anything from Garcia so there shouldn't be the personality clash there was in Oakland, and Garcia can still play. When McNabb went down a couple of years back Garcia basically took Philly to the playoffs.

A lot of people have suggested that GB pick up one veteran or another as the back up to AR. I am a little concerned with that. If GB does sign another QB and moves him into the #2 slot pushing Flynn to the 3, it will hinder Flynn's growth in this system The #1 takes all most all the the snaps in practice. The 2 takes what little there is left. The 3 plays the opposition team of the week. While it may be good to face the GB #1 defense, it doesn't help him learn the intricacies of the GB offense and he would not get a lot of reps until next year's training camp.

Sorry, but I couldn't give less of a damn about Flynn's development. He already proved he's the backup. He beat Brian Brohm--something that wasn't supposed to happen.

Then he goes and gets himself injured.

This is a business. If you can't do your job, you're going to be replaced. I'd rather have a steady guy like Garcia take us to the playoffs should Rodgers go down, rather than pull my hair out losing games because of Flynn's inexperience.

He won't get reps until next year's training camp anyway--so why is that an issue?

Harrell is on IR. Had Harrell be healthy all year it would've been interesting whether or not he would of made the roster. I think probably.

Truth be told though the thing about Harrell is he's not a bad player. He's not great, but he's probably better than say Michael Montgomery. Harrell is just soft and always hurt. That's his problem whether it's bad luck or not.

Brohm on the other hand is just not ready for the NFL.

No, it most certainly is not. Mike McCarthy stated explicitly earlier this week that you don't always keep the most talented 53 around. It's far more complicated than that.
