For a small contract throw him into the mix as a backup.

Eh, I would rather see them look into getting a real backup QB. I'm just not comfortable going into the season with 3 QBs who have started a combined 0 games. That could really come back to bite us depending on how the rest of the team performs.

They are taking the wait and see approach with Brohm, but are giving him every chance to be the back up. He's struggled thus far, but it's early. If he's looking shakey after the first couple pre-season games they'll bring in a vet. I also wouldn't mind brining in KJ if the price is right. Jackson continues to look good during work outs, but his game has yet to translate on the playing field. We got the cash to bring KJ, so why not?

Even if Jackson isn't at 100%, he's better than any of our current options behind Grant and Brandon Jackson. For cheap, there's no reason not to give him a shot.

The QB's that are available aren't any good or they would be on teams. If Rodgers goes down I'd rather take my lumps and get Brohm some experience than go with an old retread.

Eh, why not. I always thought he was a little underrated in Detroit and he has starting experience. If he is healthy, Grant, Jones, and Jackson as the third down back is IMO second to only NY for running back depth in the NFC. Maybe dallas.
