... but see James Jones... he's FA market was a lot smaller than Packers fans thought it'd be... and many though he wasn't gonna be back because he'd be offered too much. He's played and show a lot more than Flynn has.. and he's back. Could happen to Flynn too.

Teams throw around money pretty liberally to QBs. Good ones are hard to get, so if anybody out there thinks Flynn has a realistic chance at being a good one, he'll be rich whether he ends up earning it or not. I can't imagine that the Packers would match an offer for him from a team giving him a chance to compete for a starting job, because I figure the contract offer would be for quite a bit of money.

Tarvaris Jackson is starting and getting 4 million a year.

Flynn doesn't have a track record which normally isn't seen as good he's probably going to be getting closer to Wallace numbers (if that) than Jackson numbers.

How much do you think Thompson will pay a known (to the Packers) back-up, is the question... he paid Poppinga and Chillar good money to back-up LB spots... why not a more important position of QB?

Why ruin a good thing, we won the SB with Flynn as back-up, why mess with chemistry or whatever by adding a guy like Gerrard?

I seriously doubt the chemistry of this team is so tenuous that changing the backup quarterback would disrupt it.

No thanks.. not that I think Garrard is a rube or anything.. but nothing in his playing days suggest that he can handle the complexity of a Mike McCarthy offense.. and we have kept Flynn on the roster for a reason and that is he can.. see example last season in his first ever start.

Still can't believe a market didn't materialize for Flynn this preseason.. either way that is good for the Packers.. they retain both he and Harrell at this point.

I think Ted Thompson has decided that what he gets in the supplemental draft will not be that much less than what he would get in a trade. There only about six teams that could use Flynn. They are not good teams so I don't think they want to give up a high second but only a third or less. Ted Thompson maybe thinking he might get a third supplemental pick. As a QB Flynn should get a good contract. So on that basis it's worth keeping the security of Flynn.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

There is absolutely no way the Packers get a 3rd for Matt Flynn. Maybe a 4th, more most likely a 5th or 6th if anything. He was a 7th round selection and I think that factors into it too.

I was one of the few that thought David Garrard shouldn't have been given the job over Byron Leftwich when Del Rio made the change a few years ago. As talented as Garrard may be, I still think Leftwich is the better passer.

Garrard is a good QB, but he has no place on this team. Thompson didn't sign a single unrestricted free agent this season, and Garrard will definitely not be the first.

As for Flynn, he's definitely the backup. I'd love to trade the guy, but you'd think Thompson would've done it already.

If Thompson does trade Flynn, he will sign another QB. It just won't be Garrard.

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.
