It is a wonderful thing to have a great QB but believe it or not teams actually win without one. The offense may have struggled but the defense is what let them down time after time,

If they had a solid OL and a good RB they would have moved the ball. Lacy did all he could almost all on his own. If they had a strong defense they could have won most of those games. They didn't.

Even us last year without Rodgers went 2-2-1 when we had decent QB play, and that's with key players injured or crippled like Bulaga,CMIII,Hayward,Shields,Perry. We were bad when our QBs played terribly but pretty much any team would be add in all the other injuries and it makes it worse. Our D needs to be better but it was better in 2012 when it was a little healthier. You have to expect a team to still play well even with a few injuries but last year was a massacre.

Other than Rodgers injury, if the rest of the team was relatively healthy, they probably win 10-11 games. That isn't the QB positions fault and that isn't what burned them.

Why do people want Matt Flynn replaced with Tolzien? Matt Flynn has proven over and over that he knows our offense inside and out, and can win games when needed to play. Tolzien might have more arm strength and athleticism, but he's being showcased for a trade. Green Bay is a quarterback factory, but I'll stay with the guy that has proven it on the field. Matt is a perfect backup quarterback for us, just hope he doesn't get any stupid offers like Seattle and Oakland gave him.

That said, I can live with Flynn as the backup, if that's how they decide to go, but I am for going with the higher upside, all things being about equal.
