Studs And Duds - Packers vs. Bears

[Rutnstrut]

Dud- I'm going a different direction with mine and saying Gutekunst. Just for not having a better plan at the #2 QB spot. We got a brief glimpse into what will happen if AR gets hurt. I don't think Kizer is the answer. He may be worse than Hundley. Hell even the Bucs have a better backup QB than GB.

Dud, MM for the vertical route tree.

If Rodgers has to have a cartilage repair and is out say four weeks, it looks like another bad year not to have it settled. No doubt on that.

That said, some of the backups on rosters are even worse. You almost need to luck into a Flynn. Otherwise you are starting a McCown and you might as well raise a white flag.

Should have signed Kaepernick.

Yes a noodle arm shit stain that hasn't played in two years.

Kizer really only had one bad play. The strip by Mack was rough but it's not likely that any other QB would've prevented it.

From my perspective, they certainly invested in the position and the player there looks like he has a strong future. I actually thought Kizer looked alright tonight. He had no time in my opinion.

You cannot pay ARod 33M and then pay another guy 5M to back him up.

Strip sack and a pick six. He looked more comfortable in the pocket than Hundley, but that netted one nice completion.

Kizer's MO from last year is that he made bad decisions in the clutch. Late in close games, red-zone. There's no way to really correct that in practice. You either play your way out of it, or it's with you forever (see: Bert). Still, it would have been nice to see Kizer behind an O-line that was blocking for him like they did for Rodgers in the second half. Hope he doesn't have to play much, especially against the better defenses (i.e., next week).

Jamaal Williams looks good in pass pro.

Jamaal Williams looks good in pass pro.

He did, he created a nice muddle when Trevathan brought the wood. Jamaal took the brunt of the hit, but it stopped Danny cold.

I love when he and the other running backs check with Rodgers in the gun about protection and which side to be on. You can see the "don't screw this up" thought on their face.

There are 2 reasons why Kapernick isn't in the NFL and one of them is that he isn't a very good QB. Like Tebow he would make a decent backup, but the headache that comes with it isn't worth it.

Packers have two starting RBs in Williams & Jones. As one or the other is down with inevitable injury the offense will be fine.

He was much more successful than Tebow. But he did regress his last season as starter. I think Kap's ceiling wasn't clear.

He would have been a better backup than Hundley in Seattle. But he wanted to start, and wanted starter money. If Kap is serious about playing in the NFL again, he should put his cards on the table in Canada and light it up there. Warren Moon did when he was ignored by the NFL, and created a bidding war for his talent. Or Kap could just go his current route and maybe also sue the NFL, as many have suggested. The second won't increase his popularity with NFL/team execs though.
