The Facts: Whatever trepidation the Packers might feel about having a rookie at No. 2 quarterback in Aaron Rodgers' first season as starter, they're going into training camp with the job being second-round draft pick Brohm's to lose.
Diehards Line:According to PackersNews.com staffer Pete Dougherty, team officials will bring in a veteran only if Brohm has a particularly difficult time in the first two or three weeks of practice and exhibition play. If Brohm ends up as the No. 2, the Packers will be taking a bigger risk than when Rodgers backed up Brett Favre as a rookie in 2005. Favre was a proven iron man, whereas Rodgers has an injury history (a broken foot and substantial hamstring strain the last two seasons). If Brohm is the No. 2 and seventh-round pick Matt Flynn is the No. 3, it would be unusual to have two rookies as the backups. And if they have a change of heart? Daunte Culpepper's number is probably on GM Ted Thompson's speed dial.
