He wants to play until 40, because he is obsessed with Bert's records, but his body already seems to be breaking down. I hope he does play that long at a high level, but I'm just trying to keep it real.

Yeah, Hundley will be ready in 3 years - ready to be trade bait.

Back to the topic, both Ted and Mike will be well into their sixties by the time Rodgers hits 40. If Edgar Bennett really is head coach material, some team will have snagged him long before that. Capers is a defense savant, and I think he is older than McCarthy. Joe Whitt maybe? In addition to be a great technician, he seems to have a good attitude for a head coach. In 9 or so years, he will probably be gone too.

The Packers really fostered his development. There's only so much that can be done with 7th round draft picks and undrafted free agent quarterbacks.

Hundley doesn't have to net the Packers more draft picks to be a good selection. Most importantly, he just needs to be a good backup quarterback likely starting next season. Anything beyond that would just be a bonus. As Rodgers gets older, a good backup quarterback will become increasingly important. The backups will also start getting more-and-more reps in the coming years, too.

Tolzien is the backup QB, and he is as good a backup QB as we could hope for. I doubt even he would be adequate it Aaron Rodgers went down - the team being so-o-o-o dependent on Rodgers. I don't see Hundley passing Tolzien this year or next year or the year after that. Hundley is a "slash" player, a possible help at TE or WR, and eventually as trade bait. One way or another, he will be a distant memory by the time Aaron Rodgers retires.

The part I don't understand , is how people think Rodgers will last until he's 40? How many qbs have played into their 40's? Rodgers has already had some bad injuries and they will only keep adding up. I am seeing another Favre fiasco coming when they let Rodgers walk or I should say trade him away. I see maybe 4 years top which would put him at 35 a very good age to retire. Rodgers depends on his wheels and when he no longer has that he will turn into a sitting suck and the injuries will add up. Once Rodgers is gone so will MM and TT. I see us going with an unknown coach.


Now to comment on beasts statement: Hey c'mon man you can't say that we have had no good qbs besides Rodgers, after all MM is the quarterback guru and he can make a great qb out of anyone. Look at his record of them as was once brought up.

Rodgers (drafted)
Favre (holmgren)
alex smith (drafted)
aaron brooks (former packer)
rich gannon (vikings)
bono ( to many teams to name)
Montana (oh ya he was great before MM)



Boy that sure looks like the holmgren days of producing qbs lol



Remember
Ty Detmer ( starting qb for other teams)
Mark Brunnell (started for other teams)
Doug Pederson (started for other teams)

matt hasselbeck (started for other teams)



Now thats what I call a qb guru


plus it was good having wolf drafting to :)


Wolf was good at drafting qbs, like Ted Thompson is with WRs
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I've always felt we should have kept Wolf as a permanent consultant in charge of scouting/evaluation QBs. It's such a key position and he was so good at it. He could have done that without demanding much time and would have kept him involved, he may have liked that. Just a thought.

I think Hundley will need two years to develop because he's so raw and is far from pro-ready. Two of his biggest weaknesses of passes down field and throwing in front of the WR are both very important in the NFL... but his college system had a lot of very short passes.

Hundley has a strong chance of becoming elite.

Hundley has a lot of physical potential... but so do most busted QB draft picks... they have the physical potential, it's other parts of their game they can't handle.

it's like NFL.com said about Hundley

Bottom Line: Hundley flashes athleticism and talent, but his basic quarterbacking issues will take time to improve. In 2014, more than 54 percent of his pass attempts were from six yards and in, including 29 percent from behind the line of scrimmage, which is nothing like an NFL offense. Hundley is a "flash" prospect who shows the physical tools to be a starter, but his internal clock and issues with reads and progressions must be improved to give him a shot at becoming a decent NFL starter.

And really MM was with the 49ers during Rodgers year and was part of the group that got the 49ers to choose Alex Smith over Aaron Rodgers... and MM said the main reason was because he saw their QB skills about equal and thought Smith was the better athlete)

But since MM has become the Packers head coach, the Packers only drafted QB to do anything has been Flynn.

Mike got the most he could out of guys like Flynn and Graham Harrell.

I'm not saying Hundley is a lock, I'm saying he's got a high ceiling. He has the chance to sit and watch Aaron do it. Mike's system will work to strengthen Hundley's weaknesses as far as timing, footwork and all of that.

Mike also took Rich Gannon, a career journeyman and made him into a pro bowler, also made a player out of Aaron Brooks.
