    Not sure if this was posted, but it's nice to get a feel good story on here with all this negativity lol. I was happy to be at the week 1 game (even with the idiotic loss) and see Donovan get a standing ovation at the first commercial timeout.

    Great story but I'd heard Holmgren didn't even know who Donovan was...he had to be pointed out at the presser so Holmgren could give him that game ball.

    He had to be pointed out when he was right in front of Holmgren and nothing like giving the game ball of a 4-12 team.

    No issue with that if that if the QB is in place.

    If we don't want to draft a qb I actually like Flynn he made great throws all game long vs det. Last week. I think he would actually be pretty solid

    I'm warming to this idea a bit more. Another name I've heard lately is the rehashing of Kevin Kolb. Skelton may have taken his job. Not a Kolb fan but Heckert drafted him.

    Problem is...The Packers will most likely throw the franchise tag on him, so you will have to trade them to get him.
  • Crimson streak
    From what I have seen of him he has a pretty strong arm and has learned from aaron Rodgers. That alone says a lot. I just think he will be like a Matt schaub.

    Holmgren's ego is huge and this is just the type of "project" he'd undertake. Dude knows the offense and has NFL experience versus a drafted rookie.

    Flynn's arm isn't much stronger than McCoy's. The difference is that Flynn is decisive & accurate.

    This is a huge risk for GB. If nobody "bites" they are paying their backup $14 million when Aaron Rodgers is currently making either $6 or $8 million.

    From what I've seen he has a pretty decent long ball way better than mccoys

    Im starting to think it goes way beyond just hatin the guy....I've never seen someone with such negativity towards one player in so many posts.

    I could say "we need an OLB" and br would respond with a McCoy bash.

    Its gettin ridiculous.
  • DeyDurkie5
    haha we do need an OLB though!

    colt's bad but it's hard to tell how bad due to the overall ineptitude of the rest of the offense. if griffin somehow falls to four, i have no problem taking him. i'm not really on-board with moving up to get him, though. if no griffin, take blackmon (or claiborne) and go offense with the falcons pick
