Backup QB Still A Problem

A team can win with its No. 2 quarterback if at least one of the following three things are true:...

Rodney's always been down on Tolzien. I disagree, but I've discussed that before. He may not be Hasselbeck 2.0 (then again, maybe he will be) but imho he can get us through some games.

Let's not forget how the defense let us down in those games.

Seattle and Green Bay are the clear favorites to win the Super bowl right now at 6-1.

If Aaron or Russell Wilson go down, neither team is winning it. REGARDLESS of the number two QB, the defense, coaching, specialty teams, or home field advantage.

The only way this theory works is IF two obscure average teams just happen to make it to super bowl Sunday by some freak instance.

True if Rodgers goes down for the season. If he misses a game or two or three, though, I am a helluva lot more confident in Tolzien than Flynn or anybody else we've had in recent history. The way I see it, the Packers with Tolzien would stand a decent chance against the lower half of the league, a slim chance against second tier teams, but little or no chance against top tier teams. So if he was the man for say three games and could win one or two of them, that would maybe keep the Packers in the race.

RGIII. Nick Foles. Maybe Sam Bradford.

RGIII and Foles? Might want to look closely at what Foles accomplished. RGIII started 7 games last year. EJ Manuel started 4.

Maybe, Bradford? You are killing me.

You just never know what off the wall thing Nerd might say next. Gotta love it.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Green Bay would be hurting MUCH more if they lost AR then Seattle would be if they lost Wilson.
Seattle has a strong defense, which takes much of the pressure off the offense.
Aaron has to carry much of the load for the team.
Losing him loses the season in my view.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : I thought that was the Lions OL

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round
