I don't know that we'll be "fine" he's got a good arm and decent mobility. I just question his decision making. If only we could have fused him and Flynn together. Then we'd have the best back up QB ever!

The Packers have invested 2 years in Tolzien who even we can see has made big strides. Of all the positions on the team, QB didn't rank near the top of "need."

We can only guess where Ted ranked him but 31 other teams let him slide to the 5th round.

Both of us like him, the pick, and the possible reward he provides, so I agree it was a tremendous value pick, much like AR a decade ago.

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."

We're nitpicking over something we ultimately both agree on...it's a good thing to have Hundley on the roster.

I'm not sure what this has to do with Scott Tolzien, but oh well. The Packers draft the best player available by THEIR chart. Recall in 2009 where Michael Crabtree and B.J. Raji were both available -- at what was it ninth overall? -- and the Packers took Raji. I think I even read that Thompson had Crabtree a slight edge over Raji. The Packers followed their chart or board whichever you want to call it and took the best player available because the DL was thin, and WR was not.

As for the topic here, because I like topics ... Tolzien looks like a different dude back there. The thing I didn't care much for about him was the deer in headlights look on the field. That has diminished or been marginalized down enough where he actually is looking somewhat confident back there.

He was a lot more consistent throwing the ball and seemed to be a lot more poised in the pocket with bodies coming towards him from multiple angles.

Too bad we have ARod, I'd be excited to see this kid start in another year or two if he keeps growing. But he'll end up going to another team, or just waste his career away on our bench (which I could live with too, but if the kid can start, let him start)

I have no idea why I even entered this topic? I thought I was debating BPA vs. NEED in another thread. Sorry.

musccy and I talk to each other when it's deader at night...I must've clicked into this topic thinking I was in a different one.
