Brian Brohm apt to become worst Lambeau Leaper of all-time
I'm just gonna say what all of us here are thinking: Brian Brohm is better than Matt Ryan, he's better than Aaron Rogers, and he's at least 80 times better than Joe Flacco (coming to an NFL Europe team near you in 2013).
It just blows my mind that teams like the Bears (seriously? there's a reason your passing game has been the butt of jokes for like 15 years now) and the Vikings (I'm more accurate on passes over 20 yards downfield than Tarvaris Jackson...dead serious) feel like they can afford to pass over a player this accomplished when he's available in the second round. Hope that safety from Arkansas State is the real deal. Of course it's sort of hard to tell, since he spent the last four years fair-catching balls underthrown by 20 yards in the f%&#ing Sun Belt.
What it boils down to is that pro sports are just weird. There's no point in even attempting to understand half of the things that go on in the NFL or the NBA.
I do think that the best part about all of this is that there might not be another young quarterback out there who's better prepared to succeed a guy like Brett Favre than Brian Brohm. The kid has been dealing with insane pressure and hype since he was nine-years-old, and he's still been a superstar at every stage of his career. I know that Ted Thompson is saying that the starting job is 100% Rogers', and that's fine, but if he goes down with an injury or simply isn't getting the job done, is anybody going to be surprised when Brian steps in and immediately looks like a fifth-year All-Pro?
Yeah, I'm bitter about the way this whole thing played out, but the fact remains that Brohm is on an NFL team, and in a situation that I think could end up working out very well for him.
So congratulations to Brian Brohm, the first Green Bay Packer to have ever lost to me in a head-to-head quarterback battle (18-0).

Still on the board people.

i LOL'd
Breno had a recent DUI, http://www.wlky.com/news/15666426/detail.html, so maybe that had something to do with it. But the only thing ESPN cited was Breno giving UK fans the middle finger this past season...

Brohm and Henne Similarities
Brohm also joins 2 year veteran Guard/Center Jason Spitz, another former Cardinal who was drafted by Green Bay in 06.
