A) MM and TT are either monu-mentally egotistical or profoundly stupid. They have botched the back-up QB situation for 2-3 years.
B) They held on to Harrell forever and then ditched Harrell and Young just before regular season to pick up Wallace and Tolzien?
C) After Rodgers was hurt and it was made clear he would be out at least a month, wouldn't a competent duo have immediately brought Flynn in for a physical and a work out? Or consider bringing back Young?
D) Or even look at Te-Blow (at least he's a winner)?
E) Anyone who has ever watched Wallace knows that at best he is mediocre. Regarding Tolzien, he was an above average QB on a team that neglects the position.
F) So they finally bring in Flynn - better late than never.
G) But they still start Tolzien against the ViQueens. Stupidity or arrogance?
You tell me. Can anyone answer this most pertinent question: Why did MM give Tolzien another series in the second half?
A) I would say "stubborn" fits even more than egotistical or stupid. They are not stupid. Yeah I guess egotistical appears to fit a little too, but mostly stubborn.
B) There's the stubbornness part, regarding Harrell.
C) That would have been wise, logical, but would have admitted they might have erred with their longshot gambles on Seneca and Tolzien.
D) Tebow... probably a distraction too big for the small town of Green Bay to handle? I love Tebow, but he's an even worse thrower of the ball than Vince Young is...... but he would have fared better than Tolzien and Wallace obviously. They provided nothing but L's for us.
E) Calling Wallace "mediocre" is very Christmas-like generous. I thought I read he had the WORST W-L record of any QB in the NFL with at least 20 starts.... or something like that.
F) That alone admits it. The smart fans, and the ESPN and NFL Network fans who SAID THIS THE NIGHT RODGERS GOT HURT, were right.
Some said this back in Sept (or early Oct) when the Raiders released him.
G) Both perhaps, but to answer your question about why another series in the second half, here's my guess at how, why that occurred.
Halftime, private conversation: McCarthy to Thompson: "Look, I gave Scott the start as you asked, and it's not working, it's terrible out there. I'm going with Matt while there's still time.".
Thompson back: Give Scott one more series and I think he'll get it going, but if not, fair enough, bring your guy Flynn in."
