Seneca Wallace is experienced, has started some games, unlike Young, he hasn't sat out a whole year

Is the backup QB going to take us to the playoffs and beyond if Rodgers goes down for the season in week 3? Probably not, but. Having a QB that can come in and win a game or two in a spot start or two is important.

Flynn had a very credible performance against a very good Patriots team in 2010, on the way to our SB win. Packers would have won the game, too, except for special teams letting an OL return a KO to the goal line... :-&

I'd be more comfortable with Flynn backing us up, less so with Seneca...

MM is saying Seneca worked out for the Packers in the spring. I can't help but see the QB situation as a fail for TT--why didn't he bring in Seneca earlier if that's who was going to back up AR? IMO, scrambling at the last minute to add a back up shows we didn't have an adequate personnel plan. This shouldn't be happening at the NFL level 1st week of the season, after we've gone all the way through off-season workouts/training camp.

I don't disagree about some hero worship where Rodgers is concerned, but I think that statement went too far to stay grounded in logic.

Regarding the backup QB situation, I look at it a different way: What position is most likely more important to the team? Backup QB, who historically will have little if any playing time, and then only in mop up? Or backup OL, WR, DL, etc..., who will see meaningful game snaps throughout the season?

I don't necessarily see how Wallace or Tolzien are better than Young, but I am guessing that Ted Thompson and Co made the decision with a lot more information than I have.

Turns out it is really Aaron Rodgers. I thought we had a great defensive back in Charles Woodson in years past but apparently that was Arron Rodgers as well. Our "best" receiving corps in the league, you guessed it Aaron Rodgers.

I wish someone would please explain it to me how our running game and offensive line could be so bad. We have Aaron Rodgers. Why did our run defense suck so bad in years past. Aaron Rodgers has been here for 8 years now. We should have been the best at everything. Well, for at least the last 5 when he started.

I didn't realize that our entire team, besides Rodgers sucks so badly.

The heck with the Redskins changing their name, We should be called the Green Bay Aaron Rodgers'

Don't get me wrong. I think Rodgers is a great player and I am glad we have him. I also agree that if he goes down for the season we are in for a tough time (most teams are if their star goes down) I just haven't seen this much ass kissing for one player since we had some guy who wore the #4 playing QB. You know, the guy who was here right before Rodgers.
