Packers down to one QB, may need an “Instant QB”. The most famous one of all time just died 😢.

Tom Matte of the Baltimore Colts.
Great guy.
Sad to say, I (vaguely) remember the playoff game vs Vince Lombardi:

Matte was an All-American at Ohio State University, where he played quarterback. He was the first pick for the Colts in the 1961 draft and switched to halfback for his professional career. The notable exception to that came in 1965, when both Unitas and his backup, Gary Cuozzo, were out with injuries. Matte stepped in as “instant quarterback” for three games, famously wearing a wristband with his plays written on it.

Game went to OT on a disputed GB field goal (it was wide), then GB won on a real FG.

Ended his career on a bad chargers team.

Yes, pretty hard-nosed RB.

Packers ought to have rodgers get a buzz cut and shave his beard , then send him out as a newly signed free agent Aron Rogidski.

If anyone calls them on it just deny everything. When he looks way better than expected for a free agent just say "we got lucky".

Problem solved.
