LSU’s Matt Flynn No. 2 QB in Green Bay?

Administrator — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 17:23:31 +0000

Former LSU QB Matt Flynn, drafted in the 7th round by Green Bay is giving 2nd round pick Brian Brohm some competition for the backup spot behind Aaron Rodgers. Excerpt from Mike McCarthy’s press conference:

(Does Flynn have a legit chance to win the No. 2 job?)
I think Matt’s definitely closing the gap, there’s no doubt about it. I think he’s really been pushing Brian here probably about the last eight to 10 days. I think Matt is getting more comfortable. Brian was more comfortable quicker in the earlier part as far as the OTAs, understanding what we’re doing. I think they’re both good young prospects.

(Are you changing the progression of reps?)
As of right now, the ratio is still the same.

(Will there be a time Flynn gets equal reps with Brohm?)
As of right now, we’re going to stay with the same rotation.
