So much depressing groupthink in this thread. I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that a lot of the people who are calling for Brohm's head are the same people who were loudly proclaiming that Rodgers would always suck and never amount to anything. For that matter, a lot of people scoffed when Thompson drafted Flynn, declaring that he was a waste of a draft pick, and here he's outperforming Brohm.
I was excited when they drafted Rodgers, I was thrilled when they drafted Brohm, and I was pleased when they drafted Flynn (a little extra championship experience never hurt anyone). Each time I've had to endure waves of cynicism and pessimism from others around me. I'm getting kinda tired of standing alone, guys. ;)

I was ecstatic to get Rodgers. The steal of the 1st round I thought. I had hoped that His Royal Highness would, despite his annual threats to retire, stick around another 2-3 years and that would give Aaron enough time to learn what it takes to be a QB in the NFL.
I was very happy to get Brohm in the 2nd round. Everyone said he would be a high 1st round pick if he went in the draft the year before. I am not a draft expert so that was good enuf for me. Once I figured it would take a couple-three years for him to learn the position but that once he did, he would be a quality backup should anything happen to AR.
Since His Royal Highness had once again decided to (stop me if you have heard this before)
retire I knew we needed a 3rd string QB. I will just a little surprised when they grabbed Flynn. I preferred GB pick up a veteran QB to fight with Brohm for the 2nd -3rd string slots but we got Flynn. I know that many a 1st round QB's didn't have what it takes to play in the NFL so one more young arm couldn't hurt. Once again, I do not expect Flynn to be Pro Bowl caliber in his first couple of years and am willing to give him the time to grow.
