Also, he was never our #2.  He was the #3 behind Favre and Detmer.*cringes when he hears the name TJ Rubley*  That is a game and a play that I will never forget! Ranks right up there with Brandon Bostick's brain fart during the onside kick in the NFCCG in Seattle.  But a perfect example, that you bring up, as to the type of players I would want to avoid coming in for Rodgers.I think you are trying to include guys like Rubley and Hundley into the category of "Veteran players worthy of being a #2".  Neither were guys that ever won a starting job in the NFL or that had past success in the NFL when they did play.  They just happen to get limited starts/playing time due to injuries and being the next man up.  I would deem those guys as much, if not more of a risk as the Tim Boyles of the world.  At least with Boyle, you don't know what you are going to get, it actually could be good.  However, that uncertainty is exactly why he should be your #3 on a team that is considered to be good enough to be a Super Bowl contender.The Eagles signing Nick Foles to back up Carson Wentz in 2017, is a picture perfect example of what signing the right #2 QB can do for a team.Do the Packers have the funds to pay a Foles type $5.5M/year?  Probably, but it might **** a few people off.</blockquote>
