Flynn's a better quarterback prospect at this point than Campbell.

Uh no, how did you end up in that conclusion?

Campbell has started every game for two years in a row for the Redskins. Both of those seasons he has had over 80 QB Rating. He has never thrown for more INTs than TDs in one year, last year his ratio was 20-to-15, which isn't bad. It can be expected from a starting quarterback in the bottom half of the league.

Flynn has 9 regular season pass attempts, has thrown for 0 touchdown and an INT. And he's only four years younger.

Campbell would be a very good backup. If Aaron goes down for 5 games, and Campbell has to start those, we would be ok. If Flynn had to start five games, we would be in big trouble.

Campbell has already proven he's a solid, but not spectacular quarterback, top echelon backup. Flynn hasn't proven squat, and there's a sizeable chance that if he ever starts a game, he will stink the place up.

The fact is, we don't know much about Flynn yet. He could be a great backup, or he could suck holy balls for all we know. Campbell would give this team a known quantity at backup QB, and a reason to not get worried if Aaron can't start a game or two.

Dude, c'mon. Flynn's not even a better quarterback prospect than Flynn right now.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

After the past two years of people squawking for a veteran backup to be brought in behind Rodgers, I would take quiet amusement in the irony of Jason Campbell being chosen as our veteran backup, were that to happen.

Alright, I see your point. But I still like Flynn better. At this point, we know what Campbell is. An average to not very good player. Like you said, he's not spectacular and I'd rate him as less than solid. Why trade for him when you've got Flynn, who's been in McCarthy's quarterback school for two years already? Flynn's not battle-tested, no, but if the coaches don't think he's a valuable insurance policy, why keep him on the roster in the first place?

I'd rather the team roll with Flynn and if he's pressed into service, at least then we can determine if he's worth a crap or not. Don't see the need for a Campbell.

Yes we know what Campbell has produced under a different scheme each year of his career. Personally, I think that has stunted his growth more than anyone could imagine.

Personally.. I think you could turn his value over quite nicely with a offseason under MM... a nice showing in Preseason, and then some quality minutes in the regular season in mop up or what not for Aaron.

Then shop his services next offseason for a fairly nice return in trade.

QB's draw immense value in this league.. too much at times in my opinion.. but I think you could spin his value greatly if he responses.

Now.. as far as this rumor goes.. Spitz is the hard pill to swallow.. or the combination of them both.

I don't see it happening but I think you can put some of the thoughts together of why they (Packers and Skins) would consider it.

If Mike McCarthy can make something of Aaron Brooks, he can work with Jason Campbell.

I think Jason Campbell is probably a very good player. But not only has he had to adapt to a new scheme almost every year, he's been forced to play behind a line more porous than my shower sponge. The guy gets battered like a drunkard's wife every season. I'm amazed he hasn't blown a knee or exp;erienced a concussion yet. He's one of the few quarterbacks in the league whom I would trust to take over for Rodgers for a few games were he to go out with an injury. Is he elite? Probably not. But he's never been given a true chance to shine either.
