@ABWorsham:
Volek is one the highest paid back ups. Chargers have enough faith in him to paid him very well, which says a lot in a salery cap system.
Green Bay has a great history with back up qb’s, Aaron Rogers, Matt Hasselbeck and Mark Brunell.
I have to ask you this question, you admit Young has flaws and still is a top 5 qb? My list of top NFL qb’s are Brady, Manning, Rogers, Phillips and Brees. I consider these qb’s to have very little flaws.
With that said, its good to be talking NFL football. Take care friend.
No, no, I was saying Top 5 backup QB. I don’t know where I would place him for starters, but definitely not that high. I like your Top 5 list actually. I’d almost include Romo if he didn’t habitually fall apart and give away games in the 4th quarter.
Yes, good talking. I’m glad the NFL is back. :mrgreen:
Young won a National Championship too. What good GB backups can you name besides Rodgers? Who was a 1st round pick, by the way (so was Vince, but 3rd overall).
In the last 20 years, the following were backups in GB: Brett Favre, Ty Detmer, Mark Brunell, Jim McMahon, Doug Pederson, Aaron Brooks, Matt Hasselback, Aaron Rodgers, and Matt Flynn. All either started for other teams, start, or will start.
The BILLS don’t win so long as I’m alive
sorry gant but you dont have long to live :evil:

Thanks for that. I don’t doubt GB’s QB program, I just couldn’t think of any besides Rodgers recently (and, well, Favre, but that’s been since I was a freaking kid). Although I wouldn’t consider GB as producing all of those guys, they do have some history.
My must watch game of the week is Pats vs Chargers. I think Chargers take this one. Two great offensives, but Pats defense concerns me where Chargers have a decent defense.
Ok. Being a Pats fan since I was 6 years old, and being 40 now, I’ve never, ever thought the Patriots would win the SB going into the season. Ever!
This year, it just feels right. Even before the Miami game, I’ve been saying to friends that every angle is covered - offense looks excellent with 2 TEs featured and the addition of Solder, defense looks stout with switch to 3-4 and maturation of young players/addition of DL vets. Special teams very solid. Short preseason, Brady + Belichick. All signs point to…
Patriots over Green Bay. 24 - 17.

I second that. I like the Patriots too althouh they are my second team. My first is the one that lives in Kansas City but we won’t go there this year with as bad as they look. 3 games and 3 starters out with knee injuries. Not good. I like the Patriots in the SB this year against either Green Bay or maybe even the Saints. Anybody but the g-men. Ugh!
darkhorse. no pats steelers ravens packers (idiots) falcons saints jets etc. go panthers
The general rule with new QB’s is that once teams have about 4 games of film on them they can start game planning in depth. Newton’s task will get harder.
packers (idiots)
SuperBowl Champion 3-0 idiots.
I’m changing mine to Bills and Lions. :mrgreen:
