    Inbox: It's going to take all of us

    Mike from Mount Prospect, IL Gentlemen, if the starting QB is "the man," then the backup QB is one of the most difficult positions to fill. I've been watching some old GB games (my training camp), and I'm amazed at how Matt Flynn was able to come off the bench and perform at a high level so...
