Packers call up Harrell
What does it mean? Will they tank a couple games instead of chasing 19-0?

Wow, strange move, but interesting move? Let me overthink this now:
1) Not going to play AR much, until the playoffs.
2) Want to see what Harrell has in order to make a decision on Flynn?
3) We are going to blow everyone out so much that our back up will be starting games in the second half?

The Bills offered Harrell a spot on their 53-man roster, so the Packers had to decide whether to promote him from their practice squad or let him go.

On Tuesday, as the Packers mulled what to do with him, Harrell went back and forth in his mind. He also went back and forth with Rodgers via SMS.
“He told me I should stay,” Harrell said Wednesday after he was officially promoted to the 53-man roster, taking the spot of tight end Andrew Quarless, who was placed on season-ending injured reserve. (Harrell said the decision was made Tuesday night.)
“Maybe that was (for) a selfish reason because he and I get along so well and he’s pretty comfortable right now. (But) I trust him and he wouldn’t advise me in the wrong direction.
“I’m excited to be here. Having him definitely helps, not only because we get along so well but he’s such a great player and he can do everything he can to teach you. It’s a great place to learn and develop.”

I mean, come on, what did Philly get for that POS Kolb? really?
TT would be the butt of jokes at the GM meetings IF he doesn't get the same for Flynn.

I would, too.
but, I'm hoping they get Finley done first BEFORE the Free Agency period, then franchise Flynn and trade him...to get some value...

Quarless went on IR.
If you have SB hopes and there are still 7 games to go to reach that point, holding onto your #3 QB is a pretty prudent move anyway.
It avoids the obvious Brett Favre question should both AR and Flynn get hurt during the next 8 weeks.

I think Packer fans value Flynn much more than other GMs.

Why do you think the other 37 TEs are on the roster?![]()

Hasselback was a late round pick that only played in the preseason that garnered the equivalent of a mid 3rd.
