well this isn't exactly a ringing endorsement for either..( glad we avoided the brohm bust for forte though!)

Packers backup QBs show slight improvement

Joe Philbin thought about it for a moment, perhaps remembering the adage that if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.

Well, certainly they’re better than they’ve been,” Philbin said a day before the team wrapped up its final offseason workout.

Brohm, the supposedly ready-made NFL quarterback who some felt would go higher than the second round (No. 56 overall), struggled mightily from the get-go and never really threatened to win the job.

Brohm seemingly did little to enhance his chances of winning the backup job during the offseason workouts this year, but it appears he and Flynn will get equal reps — at least at the start of training camp — until one of them emerges.

I guess it's no big deal since the Packers haven't needed a backup quarterback since September, 1992.

I was at the grocery store buying eight apples, and the clerk asked me if I would like a bag. And I said, "No, man, I juggle! But I can only juggle eight. If I'm ever here buying nine apples, bag 'em up!"

Correction IHTB, You needed Rodgers in '07 when Favre hurt his pinkie finger. As far as needing a BU QB, you still do! Rodgers goes down, and all you have is Brohm, not a pleasant thought. The Bears are in a similar situation for a change, but, I like Hanie a ton better than Brohm as a backup. And its been proven that the Bears can win without a star QB, can the Packers say the same? Your special teams and defense will be the downfall of the Packers this year. You better hope Rodgers avoids the injury bug.

“He came back with a touchdown, and caught another one when we were going in for the second touchdown. It’s going to happen. I’m going to miss throws. I’m going to throw interceptions. Guys are going to miss blocks. We just have to keep playing fast and get over it as soon as possible.” Jay Cutler

I guess there's no reason to think it won't. Of course if a backup comes in, we'll see how he does. No one has any idea how either of them would perform in an actual NFL game.

Wasn't last year the first year Rodgers ever went an entire season in the NFL without having an injury?

I would think that stat would tend to suggest last year was an anomaly with regard to Rodgers and injuries, and that it is most likely that the Packers will start their back-up quarterback at least once this year.

He was injured i think something with his shoulder, but decided to stay and play instead of missing games, now it seems it probably was because he had no one to back him up.

Yes, I do remember something about a possible injury last year.

Either way, doesn't look good for him starting the whole year.  That's four years in a row with an injury.

I agree with another poster, I'm not super-pumped about our backups, but they seem to be better than the Packers'.

So rodgers getting in high school, then getting injured in college.. then getting injured in  2006 preseason, then getting injured in 2007 in his ONE GAME PLAYED( and out for year).. then getting his shoulder injured AGAIN last year( but played through it) = no worries

got it..lol

It was also the first year in which he knew he was the starter from day one. Thus he expected to play every single week. Any backup can claim that they're geared up and ready to play at a moment's notice. But when you're a backup to Brett Favre, it's probably fair to say that he had a different mindset and didn't expect to play, and may not have been fully prepared.

Not sure what you are saying.  Are you saying that is why he got hurt in the past?  Because he wasn't mentally prepared to play?

If so, fair enough.  Although I don't agree.  And I wouldn't bet the farm on him not being injured at some point this season. But then I wouldn't bet the farm on ANY QB not being injured in a year.  It's a violent sport and a dangerous position.

I think the point was that the Bear backups seem to be more ready to step in.  But none of them have any real bragging right at this point!

It would be fun to see them ride the QB carousel for a change.

Amen, brother!

Backup QB discussion?  That's the important issue of the day???

Matt Flynn is fine, Brohm maybe too.  But it doesn't matter because Rodgers will be fine and likely play the whole year.

There are numerous QB's that don't get injured.  Seeing that this is the bears message board, I'd be worried about your own, isn't bassenet from Northwestern your great hope after Jack Concannon?

2009 Green Bay Packers finish 11-5, sweeping the Bears. Aaron Rodgers finishes season with higher QB rating than Jay Cutler, Bears finish no higher than 8-8.

Is Jay Cutler the next Uncle Rico?

whew! your football knowledge so limited you don't even know who is the back up on bears

How sad..

and as rodgers been injured in 100% of the seasonn he's been in the league sure doesn't point to not worrying does it? or saying he will not get injured

Concannon has been dead for several years, so I doubt he will play for anyone this year.

Back to the drawing board, Wardi. Our QB is Jay Cutler. You will know the name after he finishes dissecting your sad defese opening night.

Not sure what you are saying.  Are you saying that is why he got hurt in the past?  Because he wasn't mentally prepared to play? I'm saying it's a possibility - more physical than mental however. He came in during mop-up duty twice in the past and got hurt. Once the job was his, he played the full season without injury. That could lend credence to the theory.

If so, fair enough.  Although I don't agree.  And I wouldn't bet the farm on him not being injured at some point this season. But then I wouldn't bet the farm on ANY QB not being injured in a year.  It's a violent sport and a dangerous position. 100% agreed.

All of those things are secondary to the right shoulder injury he suffered on a third-quarter scramble in which he reached out with the ball and jammed his arm and elbow into the ground.

You know what I meant. He never missed any time due to said injury. No football player goes through a season injury free.
