I guess Hundley is likely back next season. Don't know how I feel about that.

Most likely, but not certain. It's the same deal only better: if Rodgers is healthy, you never see Hundley until mop up time. If Rodgers gets hurt for a short stretch, it's more survivable, because Stubby bette knows what to call with Hundley.

Teddy Bridgewater might make a nice backup....

GREAT THOUGHT; as would Bradford.
I'd take any 3 of the Vikings QB's as our backups

Does he though? That's not what I observed Saturday...

When was the last time you saw a backup QB taking snaps in mop up time?

that Seattle blow-out last year

I think he does. Second half Cleveland. Chicago. Pittsburgh.

Remember in the Vikings game, the Packers are already out of it and he's throwing to a guy who never saw the field before that night. There were drops everywhere and they weren't exactly playing against a chopped liver defense were they? Even Rodgers struggles against that defense. His desperation deep shots were awful, and the INT was horrific.

It's entirely possible that TT and Stubby will go in another direction in the off season.

I don't think any of them would be satisfied being backups and they may be too expensive/too sought after to keep there long term.

Bradford is a damn good QB, but he has a bad record for staying healthy, and thus, wouldn't be a reliable backup. The other two, Keenum and Bridgewater (and I can feel the shitstorm in here coming now hahahaha), I wouldn't take either of them over Brett Hundley.

With the Packers O Line, no immobile QB will do well, and with our WRs and pathetic TEs, any QBs better be Aaron Rodgers-level accurate (and there ain't many like that), because we can count on nobody to get separation from coverage.

Maybe we can get Cook back from the Raiders. They don't seem to be using him much anymore.

Bradford will keep getting chances for his amazingly-talented-but-fragile body to start. I would <3 Bridgewater to do a tour of duty here.

My personal opinion is no need to keep one back-up for many years. Just find the best non-starter available every year that doesn't cost a draft pick and bring them in. That way you always have a capable body on the cheap. If your back-up QB is in for more than 4 games, your season is very likely over anyway.
