[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 509476, member: 5830"] True, although I'm not sure about who the teacher really is in Green Bay. Rodgers is clearly the mentor for the backups. I don't know how much the starting QB on any team really teaches the younger guys. Then we have the "Mike McCarthy QB School" or so we've been told. Then there is QB coach Ben McAdoo, who has never been anything but a offensive line and tight ends coach. He also never played football, let alone quarterback. McCarthy has mostly been an offensive coordinator prior to GB, with his only QB experience coming at the very beginning as QB coach at Pittsburgh for 3 years. While he seems to be great at creating high quality offenses, he also does not have much specific QB experience. Going back a bit, Philbin didn't have much of a QB background either. He was mostly an offensive line coach before McCarthy made him offensive coordinator and assistant head coach. He seemed to be involved a lot in the preparation process, but I'm not sure how much he had to do with the quarterbacks. Rodgers showed lots of potential in college, hence the belief that either he or Alex Smith would be the first pick in the draft. He's clearly developed into an elite QB. Flynn won the national championship at LSU so while coming from a limited offense, was still a good QB. My point in all of this is that we may not have much a QB development system in Green Bay, despite the moniker of the McCarthy QB school. We may have just lucked out with two quarterbacks who have excelled more on their own. The guys who really needed the help such as Harrell and Coleman may not have gotten the extra development help that they needed because we have offensive line and tight ends coaches teaching them how to improve their game.
