what do u think the Packers should do for a backup for Aaron Rodgers with Mark Brunell signing wit the Saints and Trent Green goin 2 the Rams assuming Brett doesnt come back

Sign Trent Dilfer who was just released by the 49ers and has experiances with 2 different teams in the superbowl both won the Ravens and Buccaneers

sign Quinn Gray hes young and showed a little potential playin for the Jaguars wen David Garrard got injured

resign Craig Nall a long time Brett Favre backup and really knows the system well

Sign Byron Leftwich who has starting experiance with the jaguars but couldnt do any thing for the Falcons (but in that regard Joey Harrington or Chris Redman couldnt either) and can play if neccesary

Sign Daunte Culpepper he is a shell of his former self when he teamed up with Randy Moss on the Vikings and recently only played for the Dolphins and Raiders for one season each before getting let go hes lost a step but still can be an effective back up

any of the other options we can find a good back up via the draft and although i dont c us trading for a backup it is always a possibility

	I say resign Craig Nall. He is a qb thta has been a packer backup for a while so he should be competent

	I think they should target John David Booty for a middle round in the draft. That guy has the words "undiscovered potential" tattooed on his nether regions.

	Draft a QB or 2 on the second day. They could be content with at least one draft pick plus at the end of the preseason there will be a few options.

	There is no question the Rodgers is the future of the Packers, atleast for the next couple of years. It would be great if they got someone like Trent or a very technical QB who can help Rodgers further develope. Why draft a QB now when he'll be riding the bench for his whole career? Let them use the draft picks to shore up there O-line, CBs and a TE, I don't think they are worried if Rodgers will make it or not.

	I love Flacco, I would like to see the Pack take him in the 1st round. I think Rodgers is a good player but why not take a qb that has a lot of potential. Rodgers has been a little fragile and his contract is up after next year. Flacco will be a very good starter in the NFL.

	I like Quinn Gray here for a quick fix. He looked good in short stints with Jacksonville but I think they should also draft a QB in the middle rounds to build as Rogers future replacement.

	Future replacement? C'mon if history says anything we've got another 14 years of A-Rodge at the helm.
