[QUOTE="Veretax, post: 213474, member: 1092"] It's not a downer on ARod, I'm very excited about him, he's had time to sit and I'm hoping for a Carson Palmer like first season starting. However, the reality is behind ARod, what do we have? I can't even tell you the names or history of our backups behind ARod. LIke it or not we need to draft another QB. I agree its likely to be a Backup, but I don't want to presume that ARod has the job in hand. There is also always the possibility of bringing in a Free Agent. If they decide not to draft a guy this year (and I can't say I'd blame them for that), here are a few Free Agents that might be worth looking at: Mark Brunel (Has experience in this sort of system, and could come in to manage a game or two if need be, but his arm is suspect at this point) David Carr (I've never been sold on this guy, but if he actually had an O-Line that could protect him, who knows how he would do) Daunte Culpepper (Injury issues, but as a backup maybe.) Gus Frerotte (Has played for Washington, Detroit and St Louis, and still may be able to manage a few games, but I think he may be up there in years now.) Quin Gray (was with the Jags, not sure on this guy, he's only been in the league for 4 years.) Trent Green (I love trent, but he's not the right fit for us.) Tim Hasselbeck (Hrms, could he be a good fit here? he's only a 6th year guy) Byron leftwich (I'm not sure if he's mobile enough for our scheme, or accurate enough on mid range passes) I'm not sure there are any other guys out there worth looking at that are Free Agents. This is why I'd not be surprised if they drafted a QB at some point. The question is, how early do they take him, and that I don't have an answer for you :/ Dude Chill, I'm not downing Rodgers, but now that Favre is gone, we need someone of quality waiting in the wings. I'm not saying spend a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd on a QB, or did you not read that part of my post? So I didn't qualify that we may need to draft a QB to backup Rodgers, you guys are being just a little too thin skinned if you ask me. our current QBs on Staff: With Favre gone we have: Aaron Rodgers Craig Nall (& years out of Northwestern St. La.) Dalton Bell Jerry Babb That's it. I'll be honest, I'm confident in Rodgers ability, but behind him, I'm not confident in a single one of those guys. My statement is an indict ment of what was our 3rd, 4th, 5th, stringers essentially, who I do not feel our worthy of a #2 QB spot. That's my opinion of them, not Rodgers. Please understand that. And I sure hope Favre doesn't end up with another team, I can't tell you the pit that would put in my stomach. [/QUOTE]
