McCarthy: Brett Hundley Wasn’t Prepared

Total Packers | January 4, 2018

" ...As for 2017, coach Mike McCarthy says Hundley wasn’t prepared. You know, for the one and only job he has.

“I felt that he should’ve been better prepared for the situation that he was put into,” McCarthy said. ..."

He is still on this wagon.

“I believe in Brett Hundley,” McCarthy said, via ESPN.com. “I do fully recognize that he has a lot of football in front of him. He has a big upside. Our structure and our coaching staff, we need to make sure we maximize that, but we also need to learn from the other parts of the offense that we didn’t do as good as we would have liked, and we’ll learn from that platform. I do believe Brett has a big upside, and looking forward to getting back to work with him.”

I am not sure I believe this. Does competition alone solve this if it doesn't replace Hundley?

The Hundley discussion sounds like coachspeak. MM is not going to throw a player under the bus in the offseason. I believe they will keep Hundley until his contract runs out. He only counts $760k against the cap. However, if they feel they can get a better option, he could be one of those surprise cuts this summer.

Aaron Rodgers was 8-8 his first year. It was a big drop off from Favre at first, but he got much better in years 2 and 3.

Hundley looked ok to me. I see no reason to be itching to replace him. He will be better if he has to do that again. He’s young. He’s cheap.

I’m open to finding the next 21 year old Aaron Rodgers every year, all of the time, no matter who our backup is or our starter. But I don’t feel any rush to replace Hundley. After his time starting, I see him as being a decently talented backup with some experience, who could go .500 or a little better if he had to fill in for Rodgers. That keeps us in the playoff hunt.

Keep Hundley unless something great happens. But to me it’s no rush.

Well, I think you might as well keep him around, see if he improves. There's no risk in doing that.

And if you keep him, need him, and he sucks again, you can always blame Philbin at the end of the season.

Impressed:
1. Arm
2. Legs
3. Touch on short throws better than I would have thought, especially to backs

No impressed:
1. Accuracy
2. Timing
3. Anticipation

Of course Rodgers wasn't an MVP in 2008, but he looked better than this.

[MadScientist]

They could have put Cobb in as QB and had better results. Hundley had no accuracy whatsoever on passes more than 5 yards downfield. He was Rich Campbell level impressive, except they kept throwing him out there every week. They should have pulled him.

He also had communications problems. More than once Jordy threw his hand up because he didn't know / hear the call. He may have played somewhat better on the road because he was using hand signals there instead of his gum-chewing voice.

Watch this year. A lot of the WRs do that with Rodgers too. I speculate it's a communication of sorts "I didn't get a call, so I'm running a default route based on what I see when I release." In many case, I think Rodgers isn't going that direction already or the scramble drill gets implemented right away or it will be a 12 man call on the defense or it's a fake signal to try to throw off the opponent's D. I've seen it a lot and don't know what it means, but it was not unique to Hundley.

Aaron Rodgers is a first ballot HOF QB. So Is the guy before him. Our scale is skewed.

Case Keenum looked better in his first two years. So did Nick Foles.

[call_me_ishmael]

One of the worst displays of quarterbacking I've ever seen. Hundley is why GB changed everything this off-season. What else can MM say? He's not going to roast one of his players publicly.

I've seen enough of Hundley to know he isn't an NFL caliber QB. I hope Gutey either drafts another one this spring (but not in the first 3 rounds unless another Russell Wilson is sitting there) or we sign a veteran who can actually throw an accurate ball further than 5 yards.

[Tony Oday]

He was a dumpster fire.

[red]

so.....

some give dickhead mcfatty, all the credit in the world for turning a rod into the best qb in football

but he just cameout andannounced that he has nothing to do with developing QBs, that was all someone elses fault

so is he a QB guru, or was it someone else, or was rodgers just that good to begin with?

[Pugger]

Come on Red. Tell us how you really feel about MM.

With Hundley you can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit.
