So, two 49ers references and one of them is bitter as hell towards the 49ers lol

When the Packers cut B.J. Coleman, the only backup quarterback on their 53-man roster, we wondered who Aaron Rodgers' backup would be. It didn't take long to find out the answer: Seneca Wallace. Wallace signed with the Packers today, Ed Werder of ESPN reports. As the Packers prepare for their Week One meeting with the...

Well, I didn't see that one coming.

I think that's pretty pathetic if that's all TT's got. I think he's a terrific GM, but this looks like a fail situation that we didn't line up a better supporting cast behind AR.

Could be a one-week signing (with 49ers the opponent this week), buying Ted Thompson time to line up a better back-up.

Seneca Wallace is experienced, has started some games, unlike Young, he hasn't sat out a whole year, I don't know how familiear he is with The Packers system, but I know he was with The Browns before when Holmgren was GM.

I agree Ted really put The organization in a jam, but I really don't see anyone else better qualified to step in, in an emergency.

That call to Mississippi is getting more and more probable!!!!!!

Holmgren/Cleveland traded for him, and then cut him after one year.

edit: Make that 14 games over two years...

edit: Career 81.3 passer rating, 59.2 completion percentage--low for a WCO.

The point is that you never want to have to go to the backup for an extended period but I DEFINITELY trust Wallace over the guys we had.

I don't see how this is any better than Young as backup.

I just don't see anyone else out there that has Wallaces limited experience in the system and matches his less than stellar career numbers.

I'm thining we already have a better backup on the roster in Randall Cob and even Jordy Nelson.

Let's hope we as fans don't have to find out the hard way.

We played against him last year. He ws 3/4 44 yards and Harrell was 12/24 no TDs, two INTS one for the other team's score I believe. I would take Wallace over Harrell any day.

‏@jasonjwilde- All I can say is, there haven't been many times when Thompson's looked like he didn't have a plan. This seems like one of those times.

I don't see how this is any better than Young as backup.

dfosterf (37m) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (2h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (2h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (2h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (4h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (15h) : don't care

Zero2Cool (20h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
