The question wasn't would we reach the Super Bowl. It's a given that any team losing their star QB would likely drop instantly to a mediocre team. The question was, would the Packers plummet as far as the Colts. There were some good responses, such as Harrell maybe getting to the place that Flynn was two years ago, Caldwell not being a great coach, and the Packers being a system QB team. However, you still need to have the right horses to run in that system. Flynn could hop in because he had been in the system long enough. I don't know if Harrell has had those same opportunities yet and neither would have any veteran jumping in short notice. I think my central point is that with a mediocre defense at best (last in some categories, middle of the road in others) and next to no running game, how can you expect any other QB besides a Matt Flynn to jump in and get the ball to those receivers? I was all for letting Flynn go. He was the baby bird that needed to fly. I wonder if the backup QBs will be ready, especially with McCarthy NOT being able to run his quarterback school until later this year because of the new CBA.</blockquote>
