Bad News for Omar

I just saw that the Packers signed Qb Todd Bouman on the ESPN bottom line. Welp there goes another opportunity lost.

He was hoping to get that spot.

Until he can correct the throwing motion, his best options are the CFL and NFL Europe.

Throwing motion? From what I've gathered, he's having trouble getting the team out of the huddle. Let's get him to the line of scrimmage and ready to snap the ball before we work on his motion

The only people that I heard saying that were people around here.

The Packers signed Bouman who, of all teams, Minnesota wanted to dump (and did for a 6th rounder) because he was linked to a sexual assault investigation. No, not the love boat situation.

You sure? I've seen some relatively current pictures and he still has them.

I think he actually has a good chance to stick there. They have been looking for a quality backup for a couple years now.

I like the opportunity this presents. McNabb is 31 and often injured (as he is now again done for the season). The backups are Feely and Garcia. Neither is young, nor someone you could look to as a replacement for McNabb. Let's hope Omar makes through the rest of the season and gets a chance to go to Europe this spring.

That offense is perfect for Omar. Lots of easy reads and quick, accurate throws required. He could do well there if given a chance.
