Strengths: Experienced signal-caller who works under center and from the shotgun. Stands strong in the pocket to deliver passes despite knowing he will take a hit. Looks off safety to open up routes behind him. Owns mobility to be effective on bootlegs. Quick release, drops arm slot to sling out balls to the flat when necessary. High completion percentage between the hashes. Steps up into the pocket when pressure comes off the edge.

Weaknesses: Doesn't stretch field vertically or horizontally because of slightly below average arm strength. Not asked to throw to the wide side of the field often. Short follow-through on some passes with rush around him, loses accuracy. Benefitted from play-action in run-heavy offense. Does not drive the ball downfield. Loses spiral when trying to fit a ball in a tight space. Average height and three-quarter delivery results in tipped passes.

I really don't know much about him, but given the circumstances it wouldn't hurt to give the guy some snaps and see what he has to offer. It's not like Wallace did much (but he wasn't exactly "ready" to be thrown into the fire.)

My understanding from a 9ers fan is he was let go in favor of Skelton - not ambitious enough to look into it though.

It's on NFL.com that he has been activated and Finley put in season ending IR.

Absolutely, Tolzien needs to start ahead of that lemon, Wallace. Preferably, Wallace gets cut and we pick up somebody else, but I don't really expect that to happen.

It was a tough situation to throw him in there, not having had any reps with the starters at all. He is a serviceable backup that should do better with a week of preparation.

You can't just cut your QB that is expected to start and pick up a guy off the street, and expect your team to do better. That QB would have little to no chance of succeeding.

Tolzien has been on the practice squad and taking some reps with the team. And more importantly, he has at least a little bit of skill and ability. Wallace basically has no ability/no ceiling at all - he's pure crap. Thompson never should have signed him.

I don't know if the Packers can win with Tolzien, but I see a glimmer of hope - with Wallace, there would be none/nada/zilch.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I don't see how you can speculate on him this negatively after only seeing him play for the better part of 1 game. He hasn't been that terrible in his career.

I suppose partly I'm still pissed off that he was chosen over Vince Young

I don't remember the preseason all that well, but I don't remember Vince Young knocking anybody's socks off. Is it possible you favor him because of his ties to Texas? The same as some posters who (unconsciously or consciously) favor former Badgers?
