So, two 49ers references and one of them is bitter as hell towards the 49ers lol

When the Packers cut B.J. Coleman, the only backup quarterback on their 53-man roster, we wondered who Aaron Rodgers' backup would be. It didn't take long to find out the answer: Seneca Wallace. Wallace signed with the Packers today, Ed Werder of ESPN reports. As the Packers prepare for their Week One meeting with the...

Well, I didn't see that one coming.

I think that's pretty pathetic if that's all TT's got. I think he's a terrific GM, but this looks like a fail situation that we didn't line up a better supporting cast behind AR.

Could be a one-week signing (with 49ers the opponent this week), buying Ted Thompson time to line up a better back-up.

Seneca Wallace is experienced, has started some games, unlike Young, he hasn't sat out a whole year, I don't know how familiear he is with The Packers system, but I know he was with The Browns before when Holmgren was GM.

I agree Ted really put The organization in a jam, but I really don't see anyone else better qualified to step in, in an emergency.

That call to Mississippi is getting more and more probable!!!!!!

Holmgren/Cleveland traded for him, and then cut him after one year.

edit: Make that 14 games over two years...

edit: Career 81.3 passer rating, 59.2 completion percentage--low for a WCO.

The point is that you never want to have to go to the backup for an extended period but I DEFINITELY trust Wallace over the guys we had.

I don't see how this is any better than Young as backup.

I just don't see anyone else out there that has Wallaces limited experience in the system and matches his less than stellar career numbers.

I'm thining we already have a better backup on the roster in Randall Cob and even Jordy Nelson.

Let's hope we as fans don't have to find out the hard way.

We played against him last year. He ws 3/4 44 yards and Harrell was 12/24 no TDs, two INTS one for the other team's score I believe. I would take Wallace over Harrell any day.

‏@jasonjwilde- All I can say is, there haven't been many times when Thompson's looked like he didn't have a plan. This seems like one of those times.

I don't see how this is any better than Young as backup.
