To me the fundamental problem is that you generally can't keep anyone decent enough to win you more games than you lose as a backup. If he's that good, he'll be gone, because - well, look at some of the starters in the league....
Plus there are some teams that are highly dependent on their starting QB's skills. Look at Seattle. If Wilson were out, they don't win a game.

If the Packers win today, they will have gone 3-4 with Hundley as the starter. Is that about what we should expect? Matt Flynn was 2-2 as a starter in 2013.Originally Posted by mraynrand
If we win today it will be because the 3 teams we beat were pretty dreadful to begin with. If we had a guy like Flynn instead of Hundley this year I wonder if we would have won that game in Pitt? The only reason Flynn was 2-2 in 2013 was because he wasn't there right away.
I think Flynn lost his games vs. Pittsburgh, much in the same way. You get to .500 mostly by beating bad teams and losing to good.

Pretty much all you can ask of a quality backup.
Hundley is now 3-4 as a starter.
