More Banjo: Week 4 vs. New Orleans

[red]

Well M3 and T2 were right about Rodgers when no one in their right mind thought they would be. In fact, most didn't even consider Rodgers early career on par with Hasselback.

So I am willing to give them time on this one. But this season doesn't allow for a lot of time for development.

really?

rodgers was being debated as the #1 pick just a few days before the draft, but somehow slipped all the way to us

if you're being discussed as the top overall pick in the draft, you are an elite prospect

MM is doing his best not to let him be overwhelmed. He's not as far along as Rodgers was when he took over, but he's a 5th round draft pick project. He needs 5 or 6 games of experience before we can say he's a bust.

how many times have we seem other first time starting QB's light us up over the years? it happens quite a bit

87 yards and a sub 40 QB rating is pathetic no matter what

Original Tweet was McCarthy saying "Put it on the coach"

Justin D. Hein @jdhein22
He knows he got out coached and lost and very winnable game bc of it.

Agree with this assessment.

Why is anyone talking anything and Aaron Rodgers (compared to) Brett Hundley?

It's like comparing diamonds to coal.

So you don't remember the Favre controversy? Or the fact that Rodgers first season preseason games were pretty bad? And that he only had one preseason where he looked even as good as Hasselback did?

I don't remember anyone hanging their hat on the #1 draft pick consideration in 2008.

My guess is that McCarthy brought the wrong game plan to the game and the Saints knew it soon after the start.

He felt boxed in by new starter and banged up O line and the Saints were ready for the scaled down version.

Anyone else see a lot of 11 personnel with man coverage who were open? They did some bunches but only after Hundley moved them and then twice those bunches produced two receivers running the same route.

Correcting earlier McCarthy quote: "We had our best week of preparation and it’s a crying shame it didn’t show up today for four quarters."

Why not? Let Hundley play the rest of the season and get some experience under his belt. If he shows he can play in this league we might be able to get something for him this offseason. He's not gonna want to hand around GB being Rodgers' understudy the rest of his career if he can start somewhere else.

Football Perspective @fbgchase 3m3 minutes ago
Dome Patrol (!) last 4 weeks:
3 TO, 13 points allowed vs. CAR
Shutout vs. MIA
3 net points allowed vs. DET
79 passing yards allowed vs. GB

The Packers threw for 79 yards, just the 5th time since 1992 that Green Bay has thrown for fewer than 80 yards in a game.

The Packers offense gained 65 yards in the second half. That is pathetic.

Brett Hundley has been in the Packers system for 3 years. This was an embarrassing performance. Threw for 3 first downs on 26 drop backs!!

Drew Brees threw two picks, but otherwise had great stats. 41% first down rate. 8.3 Net Yards per Attempt. Saints punted just twice.

You might be right - he probably didn't trust Hundley with the entire playbook and held him back and the team suffered because of it. Perhaps Stubby had visions of what happened in2013?

It seems a waste of a 4-2 start, that's why.

It seems a waste of a 4-2 start, that's why.

The 4-1 start ended when Rodgers was injured. We're a completely different team without the all-world QB. We've got an average defense (at best) and an average offense (at best) when Hundley gets some seasoning.

[beveaux1]

This is an 8-8 team at the end of the season (at best) if Hundley progresses. Before that, the offense is below average so your looking at 4-12 to 6-10.

[beveaux1]

That last statement means they could win 25% to 38% of their remaining games if Hundley doesn't progress.
