    Comment woodbuck27:

    This speaks mountains and MM's REAL confidence in Backup Brett Hundley...just some more of MM's Horseshit. Either that or MM and TT are not on the same page?

    " ...But first there's this: apparently the Packers tried to steal Hoyer away, according to a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Media.

    That angle is fascinating, because the Packers have previously explained very loudly and very clearly that they are perfectly fine with Brett Hundley, their backup for the last three years, filling in for Aaron Rodgers, who suffered a broken collarbone and could miss the rest of the season. ...."

    Source? Link?
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    The #Packers tried to steal him, but Brian Hoyer ends up back in New England where he wanted to be.

    Is Hoyer an upgrade?

    I've expressed reservations about Kapernick, but if the Packers really need another QB, why not bring the guy in for a test? It would be good PR for the NFL, to show that he is being excluded because of diminishing talent only. I have zero idea if he can play. But I think the kneeling thing has kinda died down, Packers could handle it.

    Maybe they want it to stay died down.

    Good point. But recall K is suing the NFL, so an NFL tryout would calm those waters.

    Isn't K possibly better than Hoyer? Why not take a looky see?.

    From what I heard the Packers called Hoyer's agent and asked what his plans were. The agent said his client is signing with NE and we never invited the QB in for a look.

    I'm speculating they were looking for a backup to Hundley rather than a starter. Despite what the talking heads are insinuating.
    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

    he'd have eventually started because he's better than hundley imo (which could change but i doubt it).

    Reminds me of a Monty Python skit.
    He was brought in to be a backup. At first.



    After 3 or 4 weeks, the backup could be promoted.

    No, that is impossible. The only possible explanation is that they have zero faith in Hundley and are ready to move on after one start. TT, MM and the entire organization are incompetently flailing for answers.
    I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
