Per Ed Werder of ESPN the Packers are signing QB Seneca Wallace who will be Aaron Rodgers backup
If you can correctly predict what happens with Coleman/Tolzien I may.
Ya...these moves are not typical TT. He wasted camp and the off season on 2 guys who have been cut. Now they have 2 new guys in who have missed the entire "Packer" off season. I think MM should shoulder the blame because I think he not TT is the one who put his neck out there to keep Harrell around. Coleman might be more on TT.So we switched Vince Young for Seneca Wallace and B.J Coleman for Scott Tolzien. Neither are bad moves especially considering Seneca ran a similar offense. But we better hope Rodgers doesn't go down within the first few weeks of the season so Wallace has time to catch up.
I'm one of the biggest Thompson supporters here, but... doesn't this backup quarterback thing all seem a little sloppy?
I'm sure it's more for info since he just got cut by the 49ers. He's better than Young and Coleman at this point since he knows the basic offense.
Former 49ers quarterback Seneca Wallace says the only reason San Francisco signed him this preseason was to squeeze fellow backup quarterback Colt McCoy to get a pay cut.
“I’ve been around this game long enough where I can see what’s going on,” Wallace told the Des Moines Register, “and I realized right away the reason they brought me here was to get Colt to take a pay cut.”
Wallace, who left the 49ers amid reports that he was retiring, said that in reality he just didn’t think San Francisco was the right place for him.
“I have not retired,” Wallace said. “I have just removed myself from the San Francisco situation because it wasn’t a perfect fit for me.”
I have just as little faith in our new acquisitions as I did in their predecessors.

I would love that move!!Again - why all the scrambling....this is getting extremely weird. Almost looks desperate. Pick up a O-lineman for gosh sakes!! What is next? Sign Kickalicious and cut Missin? This doesn't look good at all.
