Mostly avoided.  There have been only 44 left-handed QBs to even play quarterback in the NFL.  Some of these guys were just undeniable talents that you figured out a way to make work (e.g. Mike Vick) but for the most part lefties get moved from quarterback to a different position in high school if not earlier.

The weird one is Tua, who is right-handed in his everyday life but plays football left-handed.

And if they’ve really got top notch arm talent and pro dreams, they often get moved to pitcher on the baseball team. 
 

There was a NFL film with some insight recently.

Zach Kruse -    Aaron Rodgers: "The pre-practice jog-through, I stepped into the huddle the other day, it was Big Giraffe at left, Elgton over at right, Big Dog was in there, Sammy and Cobb and Allen and Jonesy...and I was like, this feels like a pretty good offense right here."

Giraffe .. That ones new to me. Caleb Jones or is that Yosh's nickname?

I agree with Aaron Rodgers.  There are some interesting possibilities with the offense if Bakhti and Jenkins can both come back and resume playing at a high level; and if they aren't just replaced with other crucial guys getting injured.  Whether Rodgers himself is able to play at a high and accurate level is also pretty crucial, obviously.  

But certainly if Bakhti and Jenkins are back and reasonably effective, it would not be stupid Kool-aid to entertain hopes for a pretty good offense.

He wasn't making the 53.  Best to get something for him instead of letting him end up in Chicago.

Yeah .. good move to possibly get something for him.  The Packers have a surplus on the line as it is.  They probably feel pretty good about Bak and Jenkins at this point.

He looked good this pre-season?

He has but was borderline to make it on the 53. The Packers seemed to be 10-12 deep with NFL caliber OL and this eases the log jam a bit. Hope he ends up being a solid player for you. Good Luck.

1000% awful.  We fleeced the hell out of you!  

 

He hasn't been bad.   He needs more seasoning.  He can probably get you out of a game, should someone get hurt.  My guess is that he tops out as a super-sub kind of OL, probably not a preferred starter.  But, what do I know, I'm just some jerk on the internet.
