We've got to work at that position. Former Packer retires, agrees to pay ticket Packers Etc. The place where the Green Bay Packers are most vulnerable to disaster is quarterback. In a sense, that has been the case ever since Brett Favre emerged as the bellwether of the franchise soon after his arrival in 1992. Had the Packers ever lost Favre for any length of time in the years since, their record almost certainly would have suffered.
Great quarterbacks are almost always irreplaceable.
But this year, the Packers would appear to be particularly vulnerable behind Favre. Following the off-season trade of Matt Hasselbeck to Seattle, their backup quarterbacks are Doug Pederson, who struggled the past two years with Philadelphia and Cleveland, and Henry Burris, a free agent from the Canadian Football League. Last year at this time, we had Hasselbeck and Aaron Brooks. We've got to work at that position. We've got to make it better.
