    By the way, where's Herb Waters? IR?
    He went on IR. He might get an injury settlement but I haven't read that.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Is he the guy our DB coach was raving about? I think TT stashes him for the season if so.

    He is. Converted wideout I think.

    Well, I would have liked to see Hill, Dupre, and Gray on the PS, but I'm not going to start frothing at the mouth. We're talking about guys that aren't ready for the NFL, or are marginal talents. The former tend to not end up becoming NFL superstars. Sometimes PS guys can become solid contributors, but - say with Hill, for example - what are the odds he becomes an NFL starter? And if he does, what are the odds he becomes more than a marginal starter?

    Again, I wish the Pack had him, but I'm not going to panic about any of this. "Tis the season of hope!

    HILL would have been nice to keep; if you believe Rich Gannon, perhaps one of the greatest Packer homers, you'd think we are going to get a high draft pick for Hundley sometime soon so it would have been nice to have Hill as a backup in waiting.

    If I was Duprey I might look for a team with lesser WR's.

    I'm not convinced the demand for Hundley will be as great as the Packers are hoping. There are probably 5 QB's good enough to go in the 1st round of the NFL Draft, plus the Bears will probably be releasing Glennon, who has actually played pretty well as a starter for some bad Tampa Bay teams.

    Unfortunately I"d agree with you. I don't think we're getting a high draft pick for him.

    Maybe a fourth..probably five to seven

    If we could get a top 3 round pick I think we'd have already traded him. He just might play through his full contract with GB because having a good backup is more important than getting a low round pick.

    Think people forget Hill is a 27 year old rookie also...if he was 22 he would have made the roster.

    rn Packers at best get a conditional 7 for Hundley. Really, he looked marginal in the preseason - for a starter that is. For a guy who has to take a few snaps at the end of a blowout of Seattle, we can handle the odd INT and the inaccuracy.

    Lmao y'all are crazy if you don't think we get at least late 2nd to 3rd round pick for him. Hudley wasn't great but the O-line didn't do him any favors either.

    It's a factor. Unfortunately for him (and us) the only way he can improve his value is to play with the starting O-line during the regular season in a game that matters. And yes, we are totally spoiled.

    I'd like to agree with you, but while other teams get 2nds for Alex Smith after he loses his job, the packers never seem to get good value when we dish guys.

    The QBs who have garnered those kinds of picks normally have played some regular season games.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    People worried about losing Hill should know that only once in the last 25 years has a third QB played meaningful snaps in GB.
    Rodgers had a flurry of injuries early in his career, but has been quite solid since, save for an unfortunate broken collarbone.
    I believe Rodgers has had no concussion issues since switching to the new helmet a number of years ago.
    Rodgers also plays very effectively even when injured.
    Losing their #2 QB for the season the week after losing Rodgers for many weeks a few years back was a freak occurrence, not likely to be seen again.

    (Do you suppose Fackrell can play QB??)

    Also to add, to the relief of the TT drafts and signs injury prone players fans:
    In 2014 suffered a season ending leg ending in game 5.
    In 2015 suffered a season ending foot injury in game 1.

    Taysom Hill is soft and weak no matter how well he played against 3rd and 4th stringers this preseason.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    Not true, besides the many games by 3rd (and 4th) string QB's in 2013, there were some particularly meaningful snaps (especially the infamous one) in 1995.
    Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!
