Packers Need Veteran QB

I've read a few times how the Packers need to add a veteran QB to help Jordan Love. I think you're full of shit. The kid has had three years sitting behind one of the greatest QB's of all time. If he NEEDS a veteran backup, there's a massive problem here. I can see an argument being made that the Packers need a veteran QB, but not sure I buy into that too much.

The 2008 Packers drafted QB Brian Brohm in 2nd round and QB Matt Flynn in the 7th round. Maybe the Packers weren't so sold on Rodgers as they now proclaim to have been? Maybe they felt Rodgers would be looking over his shoulders with a veteran QB? I have no idea. I just see the Packers drafting a QB in 2023 in rounds four through six though. And probably adding some free agent QB's and let the battles ensue.

Gute said he'd like a vet WR for the WR room so the young guys could bounce ideas off of him and have more ways to learn.

I think the same could be said a bit about QB, BUT in years past, the head coach, offensive coordinator and QB coach have all been in the QB room, so Love might have enough experience to bounce ideas off of and some people learn best by teaching others, so have a rookie that Love is trying to teach a little bit might help a lot too.

pretty sure they will draft a QB in the late rounds, or they will sign 1 or 2 to the 90 man roster to see if they can find someone who slipped through the cracks.
Saying that I wouldn't be against signing a vet like Matt Ryan who poses no threat to J Love, but can also help him out .
More sets of eyes on the defense never hurts.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

I think people are missing the ideas of bringing in a veteran QB. Like articles were saying the Packers should get Cam Newton and people were going nuts saying he would never beat out Love and things like that. I think the idea of having a veteran QB as a backup is in case of an injury, so you have someone that can step in and still help the young receivers still grow. Do you really want a so-so rookie that struggles play and then you are stunting the growing of Watson and Dobbs.

That's just my thoughts.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Heard they were considering Wentz.

What Packers need at backup is QB who knows the offense. That's it. Nothing more. Nothing less. If that's Matt Ryan (it won't be for financial reasons) or some fifth round prospect, so be it. We need to think more like Vikings Nick Mullen when thinking veteran QB backup. He had time with LaFleur at San Francisco. That's the kind of veteran backup that'll be added. Not someone like Cameron Newton or Carson Wentz or even I saw some saying Baker Mayfield before he signed with Tampa Bay. Gotta look for those QBs who overlapped with LaFleur. I think that's the only veteran QB we'll see.

The thinking is sound though. A QB who has familiarity with LaFleur and/or the system he deploys.

Also, sounds like Wentz rubs some people that wrong way... which was said in college and with the Eagles.

Wasn't said with the Colts but he was only there one year and then they traded him without giving him a head up and owner took some shots at him (but this is low standard as the Colts owner took shots a lot of his QBs) but I think the shots were at his leadership or lack there of.

Martha Careful (3h) : Yes, in the military S2’s work on IPB, PERCEC, PHYSEC and IO

dfosterf (17h) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.

dfosterf (19h) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (20h) : S2?

beast (20h) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (20h) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (20h) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (21h) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

beast (22h) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Packers did not activate the fifth-year options for linebacker Quay Walker, with the goal of signing him to a contract extension.

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Matthew Golden spoke with Randall Cobb before draft. Looked like chance encounter.

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : someone drunk?

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.

dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.

beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans

dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit

beast (30-Apr) : The Packers re-signed three exclusive rights free agents WR Melton, P Whelan and RB Wilson.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : February 5, 2002 (age 23) ok no. packers.com is wrong

beast (27-Apr) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls

beast (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (27-Apr) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?
