Wow...he was way off. To be fair though, a lot of people loved the Brohm pick and thought he would eventually wind up being better than Rodgers. I still can't believe how bad he was/is.

To defend King Koopa's statement, I remember back when Brohm was picked, some on this forum were already predicting that Brohm would eventually take the starting job from Rodgers.

It's what I don't get. Brohm was a helluva beast in college and I was certain he was a better prospect than Matt Ryan.

Then he arrives in Green Bay and is arguably the worst QB I've seen ever.

And some where saying Matt Flynn would take over and some also said Ingle Martin would. That just proves that there were various opinions. That tends to happen on a DISCUSSION BOARD. 🙂

My question is ... if there was a LOT that thought Brohm would over take Rodgers as starter ... I'm asking who because I just don't remember that at all. And with the lack of supporting statements I'm guessing KingKoopa's statement was a gross exaggeration.

I just don't remember many pundits saying Brohm would overtake Rodgers other than those in this video. Most of the pundits (and fans) were sold on Rodgers after his '07 Cowboys performance.

Looks like that was August '09. And that's from this site. I'm looking for CNNSI.com or ESPN or someone noteworthy stating Brohm would supplant Rodgers. I just don't recall it and am not having luck finding it.

He was the new QB. A little more fresh than Rodgers, who we had seen playing horribly in the small amount of time he got in his first two years. It's obvious that some people where hestitant with Rodgers. And Brohm really did look good in the protected offense of Louisville, where his brother was in charge of the passing game.

I can imagine that people where pretty high on Brohm.

I was high on Brohm as well. I was thinking we'd train him up for a year or two then trade him to the highest bidder.

I don't think I ever thought Brohm would be better than Rodgers, but I did think Brohm could have a good career with a good attitude, looking at my past posts.

Yes, it was an exaggerated statement. I should have clarified I meant discussion boards and not news sites such as ESPN and NFL.com. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Why do NFL re-treads get paid to commentate? I get people like scheffter or McShay who at least get rumors about trades, or provide some basic breakdown of who Bob Jones, the left tackle lineman from Middle of Nowhere State is.

But have you ever watched any of these doofus ex-jocks provide any insight that makes you think, "Wow, I never thought of that" or offer any prediction any more accurate that what any of us could provide?

I was very high on the Brohm pick at the time.

but, at that time Favre was "retired" and Rodgers hadn't really shown to be a franchise QB.

Brohm was a highly praised QB by ESPN and i foolishly believed their "professonal" opinions.

I was very high on Rodgers after the game against the Cows. I still stand by the 2 QBs on a team. Use the 53rd guy for someone we can use as if you get to the point of the 3rd QB, season is done anyways. Might as well get someone off the street and pray he's the next Kurt Warner.

When Ted Thompson picked Brohm, I was immediately thinking trade bait. I was happy for the pick. I was also under the impression we'd pick up a veteran QB at the time.

I thought Mike McCarthy would coach him up, and we'd trade him in a year or two. But I distinctly remember ALOT of people saying BRING FAVRE BACK. TRADE RODGERS, AND NEXT YEAR BROHM WILL BE READY.
LOL. Not necessarily on this forum, but people were saying that.
