Full article here

The Green Bay Packers are concerned enough about their backup quarterback spot that they could get involved in trade talks with Tampa Bay, which is shopping quarterbacks Byron Leftwich, Luke McCown and Josh Johnson. A league source said

Personally, i think we should try and aqcuire a new backup quarterback as i don't see either Matt Flynn or Brian Brohm atm as being truly capable although i would either wait and hope that tampa will cut one of the quarterbacks or make a move for Tyler Thigpen instead.

Thoughts?

Flynn's injury must be worse thant has been reported.
Brohm has shown he is not ready to be a back-up.
Looks like now one of them may be going bye-bye if a trade is made.

Somehow I think this might be it.. that Flynn is injured past what they are releasing and they are trying to shore up the #2 spot... not the #3...

TwinkieGorilla, what's wrong with me is that my writing and typing speed is in the bottom 2% of the country due to a head injury i had, which is why you beat me to the first post.

Yea unless Flynn is injured I don't see why we would want to dispose of Brohm just yet. Give him another year and see what he can do. Plus, Flynn doesn't look all that terrible, and a new QB would have to learn the offense giving Flynn a one-up on almost anyone we think about bringing it...although it would be funny if we got T Jack lol.

Indeed. I traded for Thigpen in Madden - and if he were available I'd make that trade in real life, as well. He's at least shown some flashes that he's capable of being dependable in that role.

McCown hasn't proven much more than that he's easy to beat out for a starter's role.

Zero2Cool (21h) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (21h) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (21h) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (22h) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (22h) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (23h) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (23h) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (23h) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (23h) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (23h) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (23h) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious

dfosterf (26-Aug) : *Orzech*

dfosterf (26-Aug) : Orzich long snapper 3 yr extension

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Packers signed someone for three year deal

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : lol i know it's insane ... sign up for the waiver wire then you'll know

wpr (26-Aug) : YES!!!!!!

Mucky Tundra (26-Aug) : WE WANT THE LIST! WE WANT THE LIST!
