As the Packers look to enter the NFC playoff picture once again, they could choose to bring in a veteran passer instead.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>Bleacher Report\u2019s Zach Bachar added, \u201cGaroppolo may be a strong fit in Green Bay given his experience playing under McVay.
