Brian Brohm was drafted by the Packers

Do you think that the Packers are going to give Brohm the job?

I think Brian Brohm might give Rodgers a run for his money. What has always impressed me about Brohm is his poise and that should help him in the NFL.

I think we will win it from Rogers in a year or two.

What it means is that the packers are not going to "GIVE" the job to anyone.

Simple because the Vet Free Agent class has as much talent in it as a William Hung concert.

This pick is smart because it is insurance and motivation. Few reasons....

1. A-rod and injuries, two years and two injuries I think it was bad luck for Aaron but that doesn't mean ignore them. There is a chance he is injury prone.

2. 2005 draft you had Alex Smith and A-rod San Fransisco took Alex Smith and Aaron fell to Green Bay at 24 if memory serves. It is a valide argument that a QB who is told the job is his often end up with that going to their head and they end up busts (Grossman for instance). With this pick A-rod knows that if he doesn't play at the top of his game there is someone just as capable ready to take it from him.

This is a good pick as was Jordy Nelson the WR from Kansas State, people said we were going to take Flowers the CB but obviously Ted Thompson saw something that made him think he wasn't worth the 30th overall pick. This pick was good because Driver isn't a spring Chicken and injuries could happen to any of Green Bay's WR's so having this kid is also a great move.

Yup.

When did Rodgers deserve the A-Rod label, c'mon now let's atleast see a year behind center before we start throwing out monnikers. The Brohm pick is just further proof that McCarthy won't be handing over any starting roles anytime soon. He has just as good a shot as Rodgers and it should be fun to watch this off season who gets the nod.

I don't believe permission from anyone is needed for using a moniker, me and a ton of GB fans on a Green Bay Board have been calling him that for a year now so it is kind of a habit. Besides a year behind center? How about Big Ben people in the media got sick of typing his name after a single article so they gave him the nickname not because he earned it because it is easier to type.

Wrong, Ted Thompson and McCarthy both said before the draft and immediatly following the draft that if a QB was taken in the draft it meant nothing to Aaron he would be the starter regardless.

Ted is simply being smarter than say the Panthers or the 49ers who last year got to the point where they had washed up has-beens on the field costing them games after an injury or two. Now if Aaron gets injuried we don't have to sign Craig Nall or even worse someone like Tim Rattay or Dante Culpepper and pray to god that they can will a game or two.

Now from what I read Brohm is a damn capable QB and IF it turns out after this year that Aaron is obviously not going to work out, Green Bay a team with brains will start to look at Brohm as a starter (unlike those morons in Chicago who think Rex Grossman can still pass as a QB).

So Brohm is insurance and motivation for A-rod all in one. The talking heads want to make it a QB issue for GB to give them something to talk about they haven't talked about for 15+ years but anyone that can read or listen too Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy knows that A-rod will be the starter in September barring any injury in preseason. Besides we have trained Aaron for 3 years now why the heck would someone with one preseason to learn the system even be considered he doesn't have a chance at beating out Aaron this year. It is Aaron's job to loose.

Ehh, I can see where you're coming from but at least Big Ben is original in the sports world and the guy did win a SB. Aaron Rodgers on the other hand has been polishing pine for the entirety of his brief career and to associate him with A-Rod (Alex Rodriguez) just seems a little disrespectful, but really it's no big deal and nothing to take personally.

As far as McCarthy stating it's Rodgers' job to lose, I'm pretty sure that's the correct statement to make. You want to give a young QB confidence coming into the season with a lot on his shoulder, especially one who has been in the system for any length of time and announcing a QB competition this early would be the last thing you would want to do.

You don't draft an NFL ready prospect that high if you don't honestly intend on giving him a legitimate shot at it in the off season. If he does start, he wouldn't be the first rookie to come in a steal a starting gig and I doubt he'll be the last.

I agree with Jay. By just "giving" Rodgers the job, isn't really giving Rodgers any motivation. Picking a QB at this stage in the draft, especially Brohm, shows that the Packers are willing to start someone else if Rodgers doesn't perform to par.

It'll be interesting to see how Rodgers fairs this year. Two years and he has already had 2 injuries. I think we could see Brohm earlier than expected.

I believe Aaron that has trained under McCarthy's system since the beginning will be much better prepared to run things than a rookiee who in the coming months will look at the playbook for the first time.

Brohm maybe the future it is never really sure how things will work out but he better be ready to step up when and if the time comes. Aaron has the advantage with playing in the NFL even on a limited bases at least he knows the speed of the game and he has a repore with the team and coaching staff and has been given pointers from Brett Favre on what to do and what to watch for on the field.

Brohm does have it good to be able to go through McCarthy's QB school. QBs McCarthy has worked with have combined for 31 career Pro Bowl selections, nine Super Bowl starts, and six Most Valuable Player awards. He is known for his hands on training of young players and Aaron has benefited from him greatly as with Brohm.

I don`t know both have a chance of starting, but Brohm has alot of problems of tissue injurys. And Rodgers has been under the wing of Brett Farve. I bet he`s learn alot from Brett. Rodgers is starting next year then if he does`nt work out then Brohm will maybe start.
