These QB's are SUCH a big crapshoot.

That selection made perfect sense to me at the time.

Here was a guy that most scouting reports (under the proviso that we NEVER know the whole tale as fans) projected as "probably the most NFL ready".

In our scenario that acquisition was supremely logical.

Instead we got a deer in the headlights guy. He might overcome that, who knows?

Then we get this flyer in the 7th round (skipping over Colt Brennan in the 6th, damnit) and he turns out to be (imo) GANGBUSTERS.

I think Flynn could move this team. (Maybe not with THIS line, but a reasonably functioning one.)

I call it a wash. That is is still WAY better than most ever do in the arena, at that position.

I have always said that we have good QB karma in Green Bay, to an awesome degree.

I think karma is really the only good way to explain it.

Da Bares have bad QB karma. Does that explain it better?

According the JS blog, the Packers offered to sign Brohm to the active roster for the same terms that Buffalo offered.

Of course, I'd choose Buffalo were I Brohm, too, I think. I mean, he's never going to get anything other than preseason ops in GB.

Packers decline to match Bills' offer to Brohm, sign rookie QB Reilly
The Packers have signed QB Mike Reilly to the practice squad.

He's a 6-foot-3 rookie from Central Washington who spent the summer with Pittsburgh, which released him in the final roster cutdown. The Packers worked him out on Sept. 15.

Reilly takes the place of Brian Brohm, who on Wednesday signed a two-year deal with the Buffalo Bills, a source confirmed this morning.

The Packers offered to bring up Brohm to the 53-man roster but didn't match Buffalo's offer, which included a bonus. That might have sealed the decision for Brohm, a former second-round draft pick who surely wanted a fresh start as well after 1 1/2 disappointing years in Green Bay.

To make room for Brohm, the Bills waived No. 3 QB Gibran Hamdan.

Second-worst pick in Thompson's tenure as GM. I think we all know who #1 is. (Hint: He's on IR right now--again.) But as bad as he turned out to be, Brohm seemed like a safe pick at the time. A lot of people thought he was the most NFL-ready of that QB class. That '08 draft is not looking very good for the Packers.
