packwingfn 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2008 Do the Packers draft a QB in the early rounds this day? or Do they pick up a FA qb to back up Rodgers (since he is injury-prone) so far? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Tzar Lysergic Report post Posted March 4, 2008 No way they sign an even slightly costly FA QB. Don't be surprised to see them claim someone with a little experience off waivers. David Carr, maybe? Worst case scenario, maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
packwingfn 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2008 Thats all I meant...no way would they take Culpepper or Leftwich (both are injury-prone too) so Carr would be fine as a backup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kinetic 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2008 David Carr is awful. Leftwich or Culpepper would be better additions, in my opinion. It'd probably be wise for them to use a 2nd day pick on a QB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tzar Lysergic Report post Posted March 4, 2008 Nah, I think they should take Carr. Start him, even. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
packwingfn 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2008 Leftwich/Culpepper would probably cost more money (not positive). And yea I believe they would be better drafting a QB in the 2nd day than taking Carr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kinetic 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2008 Behind Rodgers, they've got Craig Nall and someone called Dalton Bell on their depth chart. So they clearly need to acquire a QB with some experience to back Rodgers up and then draft a guy. David Carr may not be in the league next year, he was so bad in Carolina. There's almost no market for Culpepper right now, so he wouldn't be particularly costly. It just seems like a better move to me. EDIT: You know what, the Bucs play Green Bay next year. I'm with Agent. Sign and start David Carr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2008 I think they should give Rodgers a chance... I mean you can't have him sit behind Favre for all these years just for nothing. He knows the system better then anyone who they will sign and draft. I would say sign Trent Green as an insurence policy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted March 4, 2008 I made the same point EHME said a while back, earlier in this thread. Rodgers signed a five year contract as a rookie, and has spent three of those five years sitting behind Favre. One more season, and then Rodgers would become a hell of an expensive salary cap hit if he's as good as he's looked in small flashes. But, on the bright side, this is going to clear up a LOT of salary cap space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Beastalentier Report post Posted March 4, 2008 Second-hand underground news regarding Cedric Benson: Word is the leg injury was pretty serious and they fear he's going to lose a step. If that happens he can't play in the league. Benson is a decent kid. He's not evil or anything. It's just that football doesn't mean enough to him. He viewed getting to the NFL as achieving his goal and is just one of those guys who kind of retired once he got the money. He doesn't work hard enough to succeed in the NFL and people around the league know it. Mendenhall's looking like a virtual certainty to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yankovic fan 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 Trent Green supposedly visited with the Saints, I seen on some random blotter today, forgive the source lack. Jaime Martin is a free agent (good) and I really like Tyler Palko's potential. I really am not in favor of having a walking calamity in my teams clutches. Hopefully Sean Payton will be more QB smart than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
