Ted news conference now, but not on Packers.com

TT: Doesn't think he's made any changes with to his 53.
On signing a backup QB he is waiting for a consensus on X4 before making move.
Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde <small class="time">2m</small>
Per @RobDemovsky, 51 of 53 players on #Packers roster have never played snap for another team. Ted: "Where do you guys get all this stuff?"
Teds answer, at x4 of course, I really wish he could block other teams from reading it's forum and chat room.

That's it for Thompson.
Man the Ted always sys too much at these pressers.

TT: We think Coleman is capable of going into a game if Aaron Rodgers goes down and winning it.
Sorry Ted, nobody is buying that
Wow!! Just, Wow Uncle Ted!!
GBFanForLife is buying it. BJ just needs to be out there with the 1st string offense and he'll stop sucking. Never mind he would be facing 1st string defenses too instead of 2nd and 3rd string defenses.

I'm buying it, as long as the Packers are up 37-3 at the time.
If they are already up by that much, Coleman would be in the game anyway.
I was only making a point, but if you want to take it literally, Rodgers could still be in the game if the score was 37-3 at the start of the third quarter.
And handing the ball off.
Now you're putting conditions on things.
Clearly a re-negotiation is in order.

That is not what I said. From watching the preseason, he really never had an opportunity. The majority of this board is weeping over VY and the guy just plain sucks. VY is 30 years old and did you notice he still sucks. At least with Coleman, you don't really know what you have until he gets in there. Might be different if a receiver is actually open.
It looks like Ted thinks like I do

"I think he’s growing," Thompson said of Coleman. "He’s continued to grow and continued to get better and processes the information and that sort of thing. We’re all trying to get better.
"Playing quarterback is an interesting thing. I think I’ve said this before in here, you don’t really know until you know. You’ve got to be put in the fire and see how everything works and the timing and the reactions and all the things that go into playing that position, it’s extraordinarily difficult position to play well."
Sounds like practice squad material to me. I'd be fine with Coleman on the PS another year.
They obviously felt Harrell wasn't the answer, VY wasn't going to be able to learn the playbook good enough and what was left was a player with no experience but in his 2nd year with the playbook. The guy to me looks like he has the physical attributes and I just believe that if he is out there with other guys that actually know the plays, he might be able to at least give them a chance. With what I saw from VY, there wasn't much hope.
Not the first time TT has gone this route. 2nd year for a QB, lots of growth to occur. Not ideal but a lot of borrowing from Peter to pay Paul in the modern NFL.
At least with Flynn in just about every preseason game he would flash something and at least looked like he could be a game manager if needed. I never saw that with Harrell and so far have seen it once from Coleman.
I think he needs another year. That interception he threw Thursday was right out of the Bert Favor arsenal.
Oh, and good riddens to VY. He had one TD drive but otherwise looked like crap. He was pretty slow and clumsy on the run too and that was his one good attribute with the Titans.
The one QB who intrigues me is David Carr. I always thought he had a great arm and lots of talent but he got killed when he was with Houston. His completion percentage was always high and he seems like an intelligent QB who never had an adequate OL in front of him.

Completely agree. The scrubs available aren't going to bring that much to the table, might as well run with Coleman. It's a eggs all in one basket season. Trying to get all my cliches in.
Appreciate that you gave 110% on that, Hank.
Green Crustacean is going to do what Green Crustacean does best...
McGuffie intrigues the heck out of me. Runs a 4.3 and reminds me a lot of Cobb. Think he would smoke as a returner.
His HS videos reminds me a lot of Noel Devine. College videos were impressive too.

Everything I've read indicates that Stanzi is on the Jaguars' roster.
I think the Packers will go with BJ for week 1 only. Then they'll sign a vet and BJ to the practice squad. It's that whole thing about a vet being on the 53 in week 1 and getting a full year salary as opposed to not being guaranteed the salary if not on the roster for the full year.
I'm sure someone else could explain it better, but AR is healthy today, so there's no need to have a vet backup yet.

Well they need to cut him now and sign Tebow.
Alex Green claimed by the J E T S Jets Jets Jets.

You're going to make Blair Kiel faint if the Jags were to do that.
No one picked up OLs Matthews or Pashos from 'Skins?
Gotta be better than the bottom of the Pack OL depth, no?
Packers add G Bryan Collins to practice squad. Was with the Houston Texans in training camp.
C'mon....Matthews & Pashos are WAY better than our starting center.
Didn't we see enough "Ole'" **** from Jeff Saturday last year?
if cousin bloodline is eligible for PS I would think that might be worth a look. the rest doesn't get my attention at all.
Pashos is a FA, so maybe he's weighing his options. Just because Ted or any other team wants him doesn't mean he has to sign. Maybe he's looking for an opportunity to start or for a team to offer more /guaranteed $$. Same could be true for Matthews.
Pretty sure the "opportunity to start" part we have covered. The $$$ I can't speak to.

Matthews played a few season already, starting a couple of games for Tennessee. Don't think hes' eligible for PS.
Also, not certain Pashos plays G or C. Believe he's a T only. Just researched and saw he does play G.
Jets are a disaster & butting heads (Idzik & Ryan w/Woody in the middle) in the front office. They're probably a top 3 pick in 2014 NFL draft.
Ryan is a lame duck HC & he knows it
Pashos just signed with the Raiders

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
Now, for a slice of cherry pie, name the veteran QB who will replace him.
Wallace?
