If you were of a certain age in the 1990’s, this photo of a certain Packers QB should elicit groans. No, that is not Aaron Rodgers, who was only 11 at the time.
Give up? QB T.J. Rubely. And why older Packers fans groan when they hear his name:
“His most infamous NFL moment, leading to the end of his career, came as a Green Bay Packer in a 1995 game against the Minnesota Vikings. Both starting quarterback Brett Favre and back-up quarterback Ty Detmer got injured in the game, but the Packers and Vikings were tied 24–24 with less than a minute to go and the Packers with the ball on the Minnesota 38-yard line.“
“On 3rd-and-1, coach Mike Holmgren called for a quarterback sneak. However, Rubley, the only remaining quarterback for the Packers, audibled and called a roll-out. He passed the ball and it was quickly intercepted, giving Minnesota the ball and eventually, the win.“
Rubley was cut later that week and never played in another NFL game.
