I do not see how many can claim Ryan to be an "elite" qb.

what does my favorite teams bad qb decisions have to do with me? And in all honesty, i do have room to talk....i have seen the "next great flash in the pan" named fiedler, huard, culpepper, harrington, lemon, freortte, beck, henne, pennington....etc etc

its down right pitiful. but every single one of those guys was the guy that was gunna turn it around.

Dont use drafting clausen as being a backup plan. there are/were plenty of free agent vet QBs that would be a good safety net for an obviously rebuilding team. The fact you guys didnt have a 1st round pick, and used your 2nd rounder on a qb is not a good sign for matt moore, no matter how much you wanna sprinkle glitter on it. Why not draft someone in the 3rd or 4th? or trade for jason cambell, or mcnaab? or sign a vet?

Peter King said he asked moore his reaction when clausen was taken....he said "unexpected" after a long pause.

Yeah, sounds like its just a safety net/back up plan to me.................

So wait...Did Green Bay draft Brian Brohm (2nd round) and Matt Flyyn (7th round) as a backup plan or to replace Rogers? The were drafted the same year that Rogers was going to take over the team, like Matt Moore. Its the same exact situation

Ryan is a good QB, but not elite...

This.

I think he has potential to be... but has a long way to go.

Hopefully he will go somewhere else first and start playing well.

Even though I agree with your argument, you could easily say that the Packers did not know what they had in Rodgers since he had zero career starts.

In true Packers fashion, it would not surprise me if some of what led them to draft those players was also for the potential to groom them and trade them, as they have done successfully in the past.

Matt Ryan is above average and thats all he will ever be.

Hes no Matt Moore

[Mr. Burgundy]

Man they throw the word "elite" around like hot cakes...Now romosexual is an elite qb.

[FalconDavid]

Oh how the bandwagon changes passengers year in and year out. Hope you guys are right about Moore, it's going to be a long season if you're not.

Your exactly right, an undrafted career backup that could very well get cut during the year as well as playing against the #2 defense in the Minnesota Vikings, as exactly ZERO 0 pressure on him.

Your logic is great, buddy!

He fumbled twice against the Vikings as well and they gave up the 10th most passing touchdowns last season. But the other person is right. If you are going against the number two defense in all of Football, and you are a backup, you have no pressure on you. Nobody thinks you are going to do anything to them to the point doubt even Minnesota gameplanned for Matt Moore.
