[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 840391, member: 7261"] This would be a mistake, to try and "draft" a backup QB. While I can see drafting #12's eventual replacement at some point in the coming 4 years, depending on Rodgers play, health and attitude, it is pretty obvious to me that this "drafting of backups" hasn't worked out very well for the Packers, unless you include the drafting of Aaron Rodgers himself, but he was viewed as the eventual replacement for Favre. Unless you get extremely lucky or get one of the top QB's in the draft, chances are a Rookie QB isn't going to be an adequate backup for a few years, if at all. My desire for a solid backup up hinges on the Packers outlook for having a successful season. I think a team that is still in rebuild mode, shouldn't worry about having too much invested in a 2nd string QB, but have guys who are potentially developing. Now a team that has realistic Super Bowl aspirations, I'm getting my self a solid #2 and not hoping some rookie or inexperienced guy is going keep winning critical games after the #1 goes down. Which team the Packers see themselves as? I am not sure, but carrying Kizer or Boyle as your backup, could be risking that Super Bowl on one player staying healthy for most of the season. [/QUOTE]
