    Is the offense horrible, but Rodgers carries it to prominence? Or is Hundley one of the worst QBs to ever start in the modern era?

    The truth is somewhere in the middle.

    It might be that they have designed an offense around Rodgers' unique skills and only Rodgers can really run it. Similar to what happened to Indy in 2011 when Peyton Manning was out. They went from 10-6 to 2-14. I think it does raise the question of the wisdom of developing a young unproven QB as backup vs. signing the vet who used to be a marginal starter and is now relegated to backup status. Especially now that the CBA has pretty much eliminated MM's offseason quarterback school. I always figured developing the young guy was MM's idea, but maybe it was Thompson's.

    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    What's it going to be now? Mike McCarthy can't speak up 'just for himself'? That's 'a real joke', if anyone decides to use that defense of Mike McCarthy.

    Mike McCarthy is CLEARLY on Record
    , as saying (after Aaron Rodgers went down) and over and over again , that Brett Hundley was his Man and prepared to go as the Packer starting QB.

    After every loss (even) MM never indicted Brett Hundley.He (Brett Hundley) was improving, growing as a Starting QB, according to Mike McCarthy.

    Comment woodbuck27:

    Horseshit Mike McCarthy !.

    What was really going on at the expense of Packer Nation?

    Packer HC Mike McCarthy defended that position, over bringing in another more game experienced QB.

    Some time in the future, and in Court and the 'Colin Kaepernick sides charge'. Mike McCarthy is going to be in 'the Hot Seat' and why he elected to go with his Guy Brett Hundley (hahaha), over Colin Kaepernick.

    That's going to be interesting. If anyone can squirm out from beneath it, it's Mike McCarthy. He's very experienced.

    Does that mean M3 is a "highly successful football coach" because he got more wins out of Hundley in part of a year than the Colts did in an entire year?
    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.
