I challenge him to outperform and out-win Scott Tolzien. I'm not asking for a lot.

Honestly, MM, is supposedly an offensive mastermind and QB whisperer. Just stop with ever saying that again. He was coordinating the 32nd ranked offense when we hired him for some bizarre reason.

This org can NOT learn from it's mistakes and doesn't have the wherewithal to fix them. See: Colin Kaepernick...See: Our defense, especially the secondary...See: Our backup QB plan.

I'm really starting to wonder what kind of career Aaron Rodgers would be having had he not been stuck in Green Bay under this regime. Had he gone elsewhere there probably is no debate about Brady being better. We have wasted this guy almost as bad as Detroit wasted Barry Sanders and Minnesota wasted Adrian Peterson. When you get special players, you better take advantage. Just zero urgency in Green Bay. None. It's all laid back fat dumb and happy. Does anyone in our org get it? Anyone? I don't think they do...so, bring someone outside who can actually see the forest for the trees.

Thank you, Z. A very needed not so subtle reminder of the absolute failure of our backup QB plan.

You have assumed that a backup QB can't be someone who has played in the NFL. No reason to have a draftee be your backup plan.

If you're going to do it the way we did that draftee better be prepared.

Here's a fun fact...

I blame MM, also. QB guru? Sure. I said before if Hundley failed this is an organizational failure. Not just MM. Total organization. Hundley was the orgs answer after living through Seneca and Scott. 12 still bailed them out. Not this year.

Lions game was critical to playoff hopes. Hasn't been focused on here but that loss was crippling to post season hopes. Having a guy like Hundley was the orgs answer. It was the wrong answer.

Maybe if we could have talked Romo into coming to GB in preseason for league minimum to be Rodgers backup instead of announcing. He would have been better prepared. But that wasn't an option. What feasible option was there really?

It saw with it's own eyes just how bad it was. It's solution was Hundley. It's been Hundley for the 3rd year now. It has been avoiding the scrutiny of it's bad investment until everyone had to see it. Not unlike how MM has been hidden by 12 all these years and same for Ted.

Why would an org who thinks they're SB contenders persist with Hundley? Here's a conspiracy theory for you. This org, internally, knows how bare the cupboard actually is and perhaps they feel NOBODY could get this motley crew into the playoffs save for 12, so why not just draft a 5th rounder and call it good? It makes as much sense as anything.

Someone somewhere who wanted to win should've said...Hey, what would happen if this guy Hundley actually had to play? It's their job to know that it would be worse than Scott freaking Tolzien and fix it. This is an utter organizational failure.

So, why did nobody realize how bad off we would be if Rodgers got hurt again? Who is responsible for that? Anyone? This is not a mystery. This is Ted Thompson and MM's fault. 100%. I would still fault them if this hadn't happen before, but the fact that it has happened before, and this is what they did to fix it? It's beyond revolting and indicting and heads should roll. This org cost us this season by not being properly prepared to endure another Rodgers injury. What do you want to bet that if 12 stays and we get a new regime they won't make the same mistake for a 3rd time? What are the odds if this regime stays that it would screw it up for a 3rd time? I offer Dom Capers, the offseason secondary "fix" and the prosecution rests. Ugh.

Should we have pushed to get Romo at the salary he was going to demand, hell no. Should we have pushed for Kaep, not a chance, he wasn't that good and didn't know the offense. Maybe we should have pulled Flynn out of retirement.

Man up and give your list of veteran FA's QBs we should have signed.

PFWT...Do you KNOW that Hundley was the wrong move?

Are you the GM of this team and is it your responsibility to fix the backup QB position?

Was there any other option besides Hundley? (You wanted to bail on this fiasco by saying what other options were there?)

Vikes signed Case Keenum. He was vet who has done a fine job for them. There's a guy. Could've gone out and got Josh McCown. Love that guy. Could've drafted and developed someone other than Hundley. Could've kept Taysom Hill. The options are ENDLESS. You want to put it into this realm of...what other options were there? That's insane! Just insane. You can't believe that? Options were everywhere and the one we chose was WRONG. Don't deflect. Just say it was wrong. It's pretty simple unless you have an agenda not to do so?

I couldn't say it was wrong to draft 12 because he's the GOAT. I can say Hundley was wrong...he's not even producing as much as Scott Tolzien. These are easy things to see and react to but in true Packers fan fashion, it has to be moved into the realm of the unknowable so there's just a free pass for everyone and things can just go on business as usual. NO!

Will you actually answer? Will you avoid like so many? Let's debate this like adults. Answer the questions and stop putting this out in some realm that is being conjured by yourself.

Yes the options are endless, they could have signed you.

When you have a top QB, and are paying 20 million, you have to deal with the backup situation different then when you don't have a good QB. Very few teams with elite QBs are going to win when they lose the elite QB. We managed with Flynn because of the strength of the receiving group. The receiving group is not as strong today.

The biggest limiting Hundley right now is McCarthy's play calling.

dfosterf (1h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from

dfosterf (1h) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.
