Brett Hundley - Ongoing discussion

[Pugger]

If they actually tried to acquire fucking Hoyer then they must really want a Top 10 draft pick.

Seeing they never even brought Hoyer in for a visit I doubt they were very serious in acquiring him.

I tend to agree with this. They were probably looking to sign Hoyer to a bare bones, veterans minimum contract for the remainder of the season. Once they saw he was looking for more, I'll bet the interest wasn't there.

There is no way they would have signed him as any more than a short term fill-in, certainly not the 3 years that the Patriots offered.

No visit, they were either signing him or losing him. They wanted him to the back-up I'm sure.

Hundley played poorly against the Saints. Especially for a guy who's been prepping for just such a moment for two years now.

That being said, thank goodness they didn't bring in B. Hoyer.

Kaepernick would be interesting - see what MM could do with him - but the distraction of "bench Hundley" every time he throws an incompletion would be difficult for the team.

Kaep needs to go to a team that has an offense suited for his skill set - he is a lousy pocket passer. He was a damn fool to turn down the offer SF gave him.

Hoyer would have failed miserably with the Packers poor O Line. So would just about any immobile drop back passer. I hate to say it - because the guy is such a piece of crap in a non-football way, but Colin Kaepernick just might do well for the Packers. He'd be running for his life with the poor blocking - same as Aaron Rodgers did virtually every play of every game. Obviously Kaepernick isn't remotely the passer that Rodgers is (well, maybe he passes slightly better than Rodgers now - with a broken right collarbone). However,Kaepernick at times did show some ability to pass on the run, and of course, he did and probably still could cut loose and run like no other QB.

To be clear, I don't want Kaepernick signed by the Packers, same as I didn't want Hoyer ...... just sayin'.

Draw a line half way between Kaepernick and Aaron Rodgers, and what do you have? Brett Hundley!

It appears our OL is now back intact for the first time in eons. I think we'll see a big improvement there on Monday night. How long they'll be one piece is another matter entirely...

The over/under for the O line staying intact is 1 quarter.

A separate injury or the same one he has had for a while now?

He was a limited participant in both practices this week.

In Rodgers first playing time of significance against the Cowboys, you could see the confidence and you knew we had a player. From what little I’ve seen of Hunley that confidence that swagger that moxie the it factor isn’t there. He’s a clunker fish or cut bait. IMO.

I agree. However, Rodgers was a passed over top pick, expected to be at least a solid starter. Hundley is a fifth-rounder expected to maybe be a decent backup. Some thought he was shit (see his scouting report, posted by Maxi every 35 minutes or so)

I was hoping Hundley would be decent. Maybe he still will be, but he obviously needs some time. It would be nice if the defense could help him a little by forcing a punt or two.

I don't know about confidence or swagger. Hundley doesn't seem lost, beaten or downtrodden yet. He seems pretty perky and in charge of the huddle.

It took until the Cowboys game of Rodgers second year that people finally bought that he would be good. Let's give Hundley at least five games to get himself, the passing game and M3 straight.
