So Hoyer over Kap huh?

Wonder how that is going over in the locker room.

My guess is Martellus is less than please by this slice of LIFE.

Hey Tarynfor12, Anything jump out at you this week? Bye the way, Do you have any connection to Wayne Root?

I agree: Isn't this the kind of stuff that we want our GM to do? An obvious upgrade to some spot on the roster at a likely affordable price?

The point is that the Packers current starting QB has failed twice to beat the QB rating you get for throwing nothing but incompletions. He has yet to succeed in topping that rather anemic QB rating.

Yes, the season is toast if Hundley continues as is. But you cannot level the level of stink we've seen from the QB spot continue for 9 more games. You just can't.

Did they tell Hundley they were going after Hoyer? If not, that would really not be much of a confidence booster for Hundley, especially when we need Hundley to focus on his game and play well. Would the Packers even be thinking about Hoyer if Taysom Hill were still part of the team?

As a replacement for Hundley, he'd need at least two weeks to learn enough of the playbook and his skill position talent to be useful. For the short term, I'd guess he's Callahan's replacement...but if the season goes down the tubes, why would they not keep playing Hundley?

Peterson was good, real good. Smart QB, smarter coach now too. How fast he learned with Eagles. Hummmmm.

Yo, Ted???

So then how is he a good backup? If he just had to come on for a game or a quarter then there is no idea at all what the results would be.

I agree with Auggie. To be fair to Hundley he needs at least a couple or more starts to see what he's got.

The sample size to date is way to small to make any kind of definitive declarations on his future.

"Calling him a mistake is just plain foolish"

It may be premature. Time will tell. But on Nov 1, it is far from foolish to call Hundley a mistake. It is the only rational conclusion based on the evidence to date.

In his 3rd year, Rodgers was forced into a huge showdown game vs Dallas and immediately proved he belonged in the NFL. Ok, so Hundley is no Rodgers. No shame in that. So let's talk Matt Flynn, who was forced into starting on the road in NE in his 3rd year, too. Flynn proved in that game--against the mighty Patriots--that he was at least a capable backup QB. So it is not unreasonable to expect that Hundley would hit the ground running, instead of hitting it in a drunken crawl.

Augie is right. We are all too premature. MM is still figuring out the best way to bring him along. They both need a few more games. It may just take longer for Brent to get his game on. Remember what a mess Favre was for quite sometime when majik went down?

Jury is out he’s awful and to keep pretending is what got us here. I can’t believe he’s what we talked about draft picks. Some ego there. He’s been on team for 3 years and isn’t the savior. He’s bad get over it and stop thinking he’s good.

It was pretty well proven last time Rodgers broke his collarbone that they suck without him. Lose your Hall of fame QB and most teams are going to suck.

Why not? $476K for the rest of 2017, $915K for 2018 (Hundley is scheduled to earn $760K, so the difference is minuscule), and $2.85M in 2019. Very reasonable back-up QB money. $1.5M guaranteed altogether, per 247 reports anyway.

If they lose on Monday night I'll be done too......until the following Sunday when they play the Bears then I'll be there like I've been for the last 35 years.....Love this team no matter what!!

Despite all the media cheerleading, Kaepernick really fell off last year. Video does not lie. Unable to pick up his secondary receiver and had no pocket feel when dropping back. Overall, flat out bad decision making for what was suppose to be SF no 1 QB. No team is going to pick up a player who is that flawed. NFL is a business, not a charity.

This wasn't necessary to prove your point because there have been at least a 6 - 10 signings over the past 4 months of very low quality QB's. And no one has taken a chance on Kaepernick. There is probably no official "collusion" where a meeting or email took place and owners agreed to all do this. But they are all like minded old rich white guys (including Green Bay's brain trust). That's not an insult btw, I wish I was an old rich white guy instead of a working hard old white guy.

Kap said in the off-season months ago that he had made his point and was NOT going to take a knee this season. If someone had signed him in the summer, it is possible that none of the crap we have seen over the past few weeks would ever have happened.

4th and 1. I have argued with you before, saying TT and MM had to go. I said two HOF QBS back to back with only 2 super bowl wins isn't enough. I see you have taken the same position as myself now. Ironically i wish i was wrong with that argument, and the team was healthy and winning. I to will be done if they lose Monday night. TT and MM have to go!!!!!!

Cya... don't let the door hit you on the way out

No. Rip is playing badly, though. If Kerridge is fully healthy, we should dump Rip and promote Kerridge, who would be a much better blocker. Kerridge would be an upgrade.

Maybe Plan B is to install Cobb at QB and run an inverted wishbone offense.

Kerridge is very good on Special Teams. He has gone through the injury settlement period and was again available to resign with the Packers; how do we know that wasn't the plan all along?

No one cares but your still commenting how’s the protest.

Can't remember disagreeing more strongly with any of your posts, Since '61. I agree that GB should have signed Hoyer, if that's your point, but Hoyer has played for NE and BB in the past, and likes it there. No way to know if Hoyer passed on more money in GB to return to NE.

RJF has been an expensive mistake, despite being better than Dial, who has been a less expensive mistake since he's a bust.

Hoyer = JAG. What's your point? Of course he is. Problem is that Callahan isn't even a JAG, he's a camp body. Not clear if Hundley rises to the level of JAG either. Time will tell on that, but MM ( and probably Hundley, too) is already a failure in my eyes because he wasn't ready to step in for a few games as the back-up QB.

" MM is an obvious disadvantage to a young, inexperienced QB with limited ability."

That's not at all obvious. In fact, there is strong evidence that it is completely untrue for QBs with "limited" ability.

Matt Flynn did pretty well starting in NE in year 3. That Packer team led by Flynn and coached by McCarthy gave the Pats all they could handle. The next year, Flynn set a Packer record for TD passes in a single game vs Detroit....for a team that has had plenty of outstanding QBs take snaps for them.

Aaron Rodgers doesn't have many limits on his ability but he never looked like a young, inexperienced QB even when he was both.

OTOH, McCarthy spent time trying to develop Graham Harrell and failed.

We'll find out in the coming weeks whether Hundley's atrocious play to date is all about him or whether McCarthy didn't put him in a position to succeed. McCarthy is no miracle worker, as Harrell proved. But Flynn proved that he can wring productive play out of young, inexperienced QBs with limited ability.
