Packers Question of the Day - Which Quarterback are you Expecting good Things from?
Joe Callahan and Marquise Williams will make their first auditions for the Packers tonight in the preseason-opener.
It's unclear at this moment in time whether or not Brett Hundley will get the start or if the Packers will choose to sit him for this game and allow him to recuperate from his ankle injury.
Callahan and Williams have both left their marks with their colleges. Callahan being one of the more renowned quarterbacks to be produced from Wesley college, and Williams being the proud owner of over 20 records at the University of North Carolina.
Both offer unique intangibles that will be put on display against the Browns tonight. However, Williams is the more "Swiss army knife" of the two with the ability to take off in a sprint down the field. Callahan, however, carries the fire power via his throwing arm that may catch the eye of the coaching staff in a game-time situation as opposed to the practice field.
Which rookie are you pulling for?

Whichever one can play better eventually in the NFL. I've linked articles to Callahan - they imply that he does have an arm, but his 4.98 forty is in the lineman area, and they say he played solely in the shotgun and needs work on his footwork.
Neither Callahan not Williams are particularly tall (both 6'1" or so), and both are in the 215 -220 range.

I expect to see a lot of Williams running the ball.

Aaron Rodgers - I expect him to be holding the clipboard perfectly...

I agree with Packer_Pete, it's Rodgers. But, in reference to the article I think Callahan has the NFL arm and will eventually be a strong back-up.

Joe Callahan = B.J. Coleman?

I'm pulling for Williams. With Barclay anchoring the OL, the QB's will be doing a lot of running tonight and Williams has the best legs.

Honestly Williams. He is much more athletic and should be able to run a lot of different looks by the scout team. Which is honestly the place he can make the most impact. If either ever sees the field during a real game the Packers are screwed anyway.

Rodgers.
