At veteran minimum! Hell yeah!I had a dream last night that Rodgers stayed in Green Bay and Bortles beat him out for the starting job!
Blake Bortles to Packers on 1 year deal

Wasn't this the game where McMahon came in cause Favre took a shot in the gut then McMahon proceeded to trip and choke on his chaw and blow his lunch all over the 5 yard line?

MLF stated early on that he wants to build this offense to become a run-heavy **** & dunk type of offense for the cold weather and playoff games. It would suit Love's style perfectly and before Love was drafted I called it on Reddit that he would be picked by us based upon MLF's comments on the Packers' future.
This is the main reason why I believe Rodgers wants out - he knows what is going on.

Now we have a backup for when we trade love....
Interesting. I didn't think it was an opinion though, I thought they had solid plans for this sort of thing. I mean they would just have to finish a game, and they'd find someone during the week I'm sure for the next game. But I thought they'd have plans. I seem to recall one of the announcers saying JK Scott was the emergency quarterback for the Packers, either last season or the one before, but I may be remembering wrong.
I've always thought we could benefit from a move the chains type of offense, but you still have to be able to take a shot down the field now and then. I don't know if Rodgers has the patience to run a ****-and-dunk.

Kurt Benkert was signed today, so now we have a backup to Bortles and Love.

I never saw that or heard that. Sounds like McMahon though.
I hope they never have to use him because Rodgers is coming back
Ha ha!! Love it! Maybe they should bring Brett back to! Lol
Interesting, thanks. Makes sense that a lot of these guys played multi-position, or started in one place and ended in another. Regardless, it's good to know there's a non-QB on the team that can take a snap. And the way things are going this year, who knows?

This was a no brainer for the Packers:

Better than some of the moves they've made that were apparently done without using brains.

We warned him.., Do NOT eat the “Horse Collar 22” Kielbasa with beer cheese” that close to game-time. It was completely up to him that he didn’t take us seriously. He was a Loner that kid

I agree with this, if Rogers is a no show or traded, Love is going to need a veteran to help him along. I will still love the packers

Should have kept Blake in Green Bay for the several thousands of dollars it would have cost.....he's a Saint now! At least maybe he will be available when the Saints miss the playoffs.

The Saints have landed a veteran QB to back up Ian Book vs. the Dolphins, sources say
The New Orleans Saints are expected to sign quarterback Blake Bortles due to the team's ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, sources informed the Times-Picayune on Friday.

GB already has 3 QB's, no need for a 4th who won't see any playing time on a ravaged NO squad. If we're ever down to Benkert starting the team's chances aren't very good, anyway, unless it's a Mac Jones-esque 3 pass game.

I would take Bortles in a pinch over any of the current Packer backups. But that's just me thinking a Vet has the edge in running an offense in a situation where they are suddenly pressed into duty.

It seems you're putting way too much stock into Bortles being a veteran instead of taking a look at his performance at the pro level.
While I don't believe Love or Benkert would be able to successfully run the Packers' offense I highly doubt Bortles would be either.

So instead of putting Stock in what Bortles has done at the Pro Level, you are suggesting that I put stock in what Love and Benkert have done?
I agree with captain on this one. I do not think Bortles played a second in the pre-season and I do not believe you need your second hand to count the number of snaps he took in practice. If he had anything at all left they would have given him more of a look. He was and is nothing more than a cheap vet in an extreme emergency. IMO.

To be honest, I don't think any of those 3 options (Bortles, Love, Benkert) are going to win a playoff game for the Packers. However, I still would prefer a seasoned vet that is familiar with the Packers offense, over either of the Packers current backups.
The Packer obviously disagree with my opinion, since they have signed and released Bortles twice now.
I am hoping we get to see what he has in the Saints game tomorrow.
