It's a good question, and one I've thought of the more we've read about Hundley being a big disappointment heretofore in camp.

I sense Mike McCarthy has a lot of faith in Tolzien and sees him as a big investment of his energy over the past few years that he's not willing to just let go for nothing.

As you said, I'd suspect Hundley would get swept up in an instant off the PS, maybe Blanchard less likely depending on how he looks on tape the next month.

If you believe the reports to this point, though, it's going to be awfully hard to justify keeping Hundley on the 53.

The Packers saw how crucial depth at QB was just 20 months ago, so I think that makes the case even stronger for keeping Tolzien. He may not be a stud, but who would you trust the most of the three for the 2015 season if it came to that? Unless he absolutely shits himself (there you go nerdmann) I think Tolzien stays.

As of OTAs and 4 camp practices, it seems like a rock/hard place dilemma with the other two, though.

You're right, we can't afford to waste roster spots. Kuhn and Ripkowski, the LB situation, Gunter and the CBs - those will all be really tight battles as well for the 53...but man, I really was (still am?) hoping to see what Hundley can become.

Blanchard will go to the practice squad, and it's extremely likely no one will grab him. He will have the benefit of learning like Packer QBs do. If he really is any good, next year will be his time to challenge Tolzien. I don't know what to make of Hundley. He can't be strung along long enough to succeed Aaron Rodgers; He might end up as trade bait; I hope they get a little bit of benefit from him in the short term by cross-training him or using him as a "slash" type player.
