Backup QB Still A Problem

A team can win with its No. 2 quarterback if at least one of the following three things are true:...

Rodney's always been down on Tolzien. I disagree, but I've discussed that before. He may not be Hasselbeck 2.0 (then again, maybe he will be) but imho he can get us through some games.

Let's not forget how the defense let us down in those games.

Seattle and Green Bay are the clear favorites to win the Super bowl right now at 6-1.

If Aaron or Russell Wilson go down, neither team is winning it. REGARDLESS of the number two QB, the defense, coaching, specialty teams, or home field advantage.

The only way this theory works is IF two obscure average teams just happen to make it to super bowl Sunday by some freak instance.

True if Rodgers goes down for the season. If he misses a game or two or three, though, I am a helluva lot more confident in Tolzien than Flynn or anybody else we've had in recent history. The way I see it, the Packers with Tolzien would stand a decent chance against the lower half of the league, a slim chance against second tier teams, but little or no chance against top tier teams. So if he was the man for say three games and could win one or two of them, that would maybe keep the Packers in the race.

RGIII. Nick Foles. Maybe Sam Bradford.

RGIII and Foles? Might want to look closely at what Foles accomplished. RGIII started 7 games last year. EJ Manuel started 4.

Maybe, Bradford? You are killing me.

You just never know what off the wall thing Nerd might say next. Gotta love it.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Green Bay would be hurting MUCH more if they lost Aaron Rodgers then Seattle would be if they lost Wilson.
Seattle has a strong defense, which takes much of the pressure off the offense.
Aaron has to carry much of the load for the team.
Losing him loses the season in my view.
