Wallace had little to no reps with the 1's during the week of practice, or really at all since he has been here in Green Bay. 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.

This probably true. It would take more than a short week to get a guy ready to play. Their best bet would be to plan for Wallace to start and get Tolzien up to speed in case the offense falls flat against the Eagles. That would put Tolzien in a better spot if they were to go with him the following week.

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.

Wallace appeared to have very little arm strength. He was supposed to be fast, but sure didn't look it. And he's short. is that enough for you?

What about Coleman makes you think he'd give us a chance to win any game? The guy couldn't make it through a quarter in preseason without getting completely rattled and has never even been close to playing in a real game.

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?

Young was brought in at the last minute as an emergency alternative. He failed too.

Seneca has made a career out of being in exactly this spot. He'll have weapons around him, and he'll get us through some games.
