Ryan Tannehill Shines Light on Packers' QB Options Beyond Clifford and Pratt

As the Green Bay Packers navigate their quarterback situation, all eyes are on potential additions to the roster. Currently, backups Sean Clifford and Michael Pratt have struggled through two preseason games, raising concerns.

Evaluating Current QB Performance

So far, starting QB Jordan Love has only attempted two passes this preseason. The backups have combined for a lackluster performance with only 31 completions out of 52 attempts, yielding 252 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception. Following a tough 27-2 defeat against the Denver Broncos, Coach Matt LaFleur emphasized the need for improved production.

Looking Outside the Roster for Solutions

Green Bay may have to consider outside options to solidify their backup position. With Adam Tannehill’s impressive career AY/A of 7.1, his acquisition could offer the necessary experience the team needs.

• Prime Candidates: Teams often cut down to 53 players, giving the Packers a variety of options.
• Third- and fourth-string QBs with significant league experience are key targets.
• Other notable players may also be available to bolster the depth chart.

Impact of Preseason Performance

Analyzing the performances of quarterbacks across the league reveals that many experienced players have had stronger preseasons compared to the Packers' backups. Players like Zach Wilson stand out, having performed notably well, further complicating the Packers' decision-making process.

As Green Bay considers its next moves, the decision to potentially bring in Tannehill could redefine their quarterback strategy heading into the regular season.
