[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 909536, member: 7261"] I think that this is the most likely scenario and the Packers have already come out and said that Love isn't ready, so Bortles is either #1 or #2. Perhaps that admission about Love, was an oh crap moment and the Packers thought they better get a backup for Aaron and there really aren't any other guys with enough experience that they wanted to just sign anyone. I would get that if that was the Packers typical mode of operation, but it hasn't been. Boyle was his backup last year and he was a huge unknown. For most of Rodgers career, he has been backed by guys with little or no experience. Possibly when Flynn (2nd stint), Kizer and Seneca Wallace are exceptions to this. However Flynn and Wallace were signed in season, due to injuries. So really Kizer has been the only #2 behind Aaron to start a season, with much experience. I also believe Kizer was viewed more of a reclamation project that was viewed as a worthy backup, but maybe a starter for some team down the road if they developed him. Gute and MLF may have a different philosophy on #12's backup these days, I guess we will see. LOL...I doubt many of us would be here if we didn't want to think about and speculate on things like this. If you are just saying "don't freak out, this doesn't necessarily mean that Aaron is gone"...sure, you are right. Last question, if you were the Packers and you knew the odds of Aaron coming back were slim, who would you sign? [/QUOTE]
