To the same extent that Flynn and Brohm are not “remotely ready” to start: neither is Chris Simms. The difference between Flynn and Simms is that Flynn has some potential and I’d kind of like to see what type of QB he can be in a year or two. Simms is a desperate stop-gap solution. I’d rather take my chances with Flynn.

Think about this: Derek Anderson was a sixth round pick by the Ravens in 2005. They cut him (and kept the “seasoned vet” Anthony Wright) and the Browns immediately picked him up. Two years later Anderson is a Pro Bowl QB for the Browns. Two years later, the Ravens had to spend yet another first round pick on yet another QB that might not pan out.

They put all in for Rodgers so that tells me they really believe he is the long term answer. They need to find a back-up that can salvage a game or maybe make a few starts and give the team a chance to win. That is more important then grooming a 7th round pick when you already have another grooming project on the roster.

So, best case scenario is that they evaluate Brohm to be better then any availible free agent or Simms. Maybe they see something in practice that he doesn’t show in the preseason games. Then you get to keep all three. But, based on what I have seen from Brohm I would think Simms or Culpepper could probably give the Packers a better chance at winning a few games if Rodgers goes down for a bit.

D-Line tackle roblem solved. Sign a guy from Houston’s Arena League team.

Trade for line men (O & D) not wideouts.

Really good athletes can run that fast at 250 – see AJ Hawk, for example. I doubt Hunter runs appreciably faster than Julius Peppers, who was clocked around a 4.7 at 290lbs. If Hunter can hit a 4.6 at 270, he’s still damn fast, but a 4.4 (or even a 4.5) at 270 would be unreal. Dwight Freeney ran a 4.4 coming out of college, but Hunter’s no Dwight Freeney.
