Packers Offered Brett Hundley in Trade Talks

[Smidgeon]

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.

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?

It is unfortunate Hundley just doesn't have "it" to be an NFL QB. I suspect he's one of those guys who looks decent enough at practice but not so hot in games when things start to get a little crazy. Judging if a collegiate QB can play in this league must be damn difficult when so many of them flop so spectacularly. Remember how some folks back in 2008 thought Brian Brohm was gonna push Rodgers for the staring job??

It's a crap shoot for sure. But a lot of the problem is scouting confirmation bias. Individuality gets lost in the stereotype of the model NFL QB. Russell Wilson couldn't make it in the NFL because of his height. Rodgers was a "system" QB. It works the other way too when a kid is tagged with a "can't miss" label for one reason or another. See JaMarcus Russell.
