Are you people crazy?!?!?


Why are people making such a big deal about the #3 QB? I really don't get it... I mean the #3 QB is usually there for a young QB who has no place starting that point.

Cutting Brohm who is in his 2nd year for a vet isn't smart at all.... a lot of QBs have look bad in thei 2nd years including the current starter Rodgers. (then again some were saying what a horrible pick that was too then which I thought was pointless at the time too).

The #3 QB isn't getting in the game so let the kid grow some more.... Flynn can be good enough as a vet so we don't need no stinkin vet QB.... the QB group is a lot better than it was last year with Rodgers and Flynn steping up and we stayed with them why change now unless there is a good young QB that could become a starter?

also on a side note trading Hawk for a never will be QB is pretty silly.....

Here is something about brohm from wednesdays practice

THUMBS DOWN
It was painful to watch third-string QB Brian Brohm. He received all the repetitions with the No. 2s because backup Matt Flynn was out with a shoulder injury and he did nothing to take advantage of the opportunity. Whether he was playing with the No. 2 offense or serving as the scout team quarterback, he was off the mark all day. In all, he threw five interceptions and could have been intercepted at least two other times. It's not a heinous crime to throw an interception when playing for the scout team, but even in those situations the quarterbacks are encouraged to challenge the defense and play efficiently. It wasn't just the interceptions, either. In short yardage, he overthrew the 6-foot-6 Moore in the end zone twice, once missing a wide-open target in the middle of the field and the other time misfiring on a fade route into the corner. His performance was bad enough that coach Mike McCarthy made note of it in his post-practice news conference. "He's had some decisions I'm sure he wished he could have back," McCarthy said. "I think that's obvious as you watch practice, but these reps are so valuable for a young quarterback, and that's what he needs. He needs to go out there and have some success Friday (against Arizona)."


I guess we will see what he does tonight. Maybe Brohm will turn it around but it isn't going to be this year and probably won't be in Green Bay. I don't think Brohm has shown any signs of being decent since the day we got him. So yeah that does mean he SUCKS(on an NFL level) as of right now. Really it doesn't matter much because Brohm will be 3rd string if anything and probably won't be on the field for us this season. I also read that Brohm couldn't serperate Tony Moll and Cyril Obiozor from their scuffle but in fairness i guess it did take several players to seperate them, not that it has anything to do with brohms qb ability lol.

Frankly, I'm going to laugh at all the fans calling for Brohm's head the first time he throws for 4,000 yards and 30 TDs with whatever team he gets traded to. At least some of you are honest and admit you didn't have faith in Rodgers either. ;)

EDIT: Thanks, wpr!

---

for the record: i believed in Rodgers ever since he came in and almost won the Dallas game that Favre was doing his best to lose.

---

TwinkieGorilla, I know you and I are not alone in that. And maybe I'm jaded from having spent too much time over at GBPG and PN. I'm sure there was more faith in Rodgers than I give Packer Nation credit for. I just wish we'd cut this kid a little slack.

---

I liked Rodgers from his Cal day's, my father lives in the area. Why does not thinking Brohm can hack it mean you didn't like Rodgers. Believe it or not, NFL teams have had to rely on their 3rd QB, and can anyone honestly say they are comfortable with that?

---

I don't mind being put in that laughee category if Brohm develops into something besides what he is right now. This is the stuff debates and discussion boards are made for. What I don't understand is the interjection of posts (like a sniper taking an occasional pot-shot) at those that find this subject worthy of discussion. My understanding is that our team happens to be at least discussing it, and why wouldn't they? Everybody weighed in on the Vick thing--What did some of you think--- Getting rid of Rodgers or something--- ?

I will repeat that due to the lack of raw material, it is not my place to project out any further than an opinion of what I have seen so far, and I think I semi-promised not to say he sucks...I forget exactly what I promised, lol---- Not developed or some other PC crap--- whatever--It's that, and if he tears it up tonight, for example, I would be more than happy to be a laughee as early as tomorrow.

I just think its time to pick one developmental signal caller and go with it. Like I said in an earlier post, I was very excited when we drafted Brohm, but Flynn is clearly better. Rodgers is the shit, but god forbid something happens to him we need a plan B.

---

We do. It is bend over and kiss this season good bye. :pottytrain2:

---

If Brohm turns out to be great, good for him, he seems like a great kid. I just don't think GB is the best fit for us or him at this point.

---

Foster raises an excellent point and I stand corrected.

Here is my contention: Brohm was once regarded as one of the most desirable picks in the draft -- perhaps the #1 overall. Then he chooses to return for his senior season and his draft stock plummets precipitously. Did his talent mysteriously disappear? No! In fact, he put up great numbers his senior year. Then he gets to the NFL and struggles. Is it through any lac of physical prowess? No. The game is simply too fast for him. Rodgers admitted in a recent interview that the game only really started slowing down for him last season. So who's to say it won't slow down for Brohm too? He's been stuck on 3rd string and hasn't gotten a ton of reps. Give him time. It's not like he was ever slated to be a starter (unlike, say, Harrell). If after next preseason he still looks lost, we can look to bring in someone else.

I just SERIOUSLY doubt anyone we'd bring into replace him this late in the preseason would prove to be substantively better.

I'm no troll, and I don't want everyone to think I'm a hater, far from it. I wear my green and gold glasses at night baby. If the management thinks we are good where we stand at QB then I trust them. I am just merely voicing my opinion.

---

I don't think anyone accused you of being a troll, VoR. I know I certainly haven't. I consider you one of our more articulate members here and look forward to your future contributions, regardless of whether I agree with them or not.

---

VOR a troll? :magnifyglass: I don't see it.

---

VoR is a troll.

---

If brohm doesn't perform well tonight, what do you think the odds are of him being replaced before the beginning of the regular season? So far hes proven to be completely worthless even as a #3

---

He'd have to be completely hopeless, not just now, but for the forseeable future to get cut. You know, like Rex Grossman.
