There is a backup issue in that Flynn is only on 1 year deal and Tolzien does not exactly inspire confidence.It's been reported the Packers are entertaining Tom Savage for a pre-draft visit (along with a couple less valued guys).  Some have him going as high as the upper second round.  If Thompson likes him enough and he falls far enough Thompson might take him considering we might find ourselves without a credible backup in 2015.</blockquote>
