[QUOTE="TJV, post: 550751, member: 4300"] No question Thompson and company fumbled the backup QB position badly last season. But IMO talk that that failure proves Rodgers [I]is[/I] the team is bogus. Flynn is back and he’ll have a full TC. I have a higher opinion of Tolzien than some here but I think he can become a very good backup QB too. I bet he’ll study his **** off and know the offense extremely well. Flynn’s advantage is he’s a ‘money’ player. Doesn’t practice all that well but excels when the real bullets fly. That’s the only question I have about Tolzien – once he’s completely up to speed with the offense, how will he react to the real bullets flying. And I don’t downplay Tolzien’s stronger arm – that’s an advantage in McCarthy’s offense. Like RB, backup QB has gone from a weakness to a strength (more a perceived weakness at times regarding RB in the past IMO). I think both positions are deep and talented. I hope we don’t find out about the backup QBs during the season but if we do, that will be the gauge of how good the team is without Rodgers; not what happened last season. I agree Thompson has to draft better and the brain drain that has taken place can’t help but hurt - three former front office people are now running their own front office. And to an extent he’s the victim of his success – this year’s pick at #21 is the lowest first rounder of the last five drafts, including this one. But he’s got to draft better and get luckier with injuries to first rounders – his last four have been affected by injury to one extent or another. And unlike Justin Harrell, I don’t remember any of them having injury concerns coming into the draft. [/QUOTE]
