Apart from a couple boneheaded timeouts in the game and not kicking the FG in the third quarter, I honestly think it was a pretty good game for McCarthy. So used to seeing the Packers offense have very consistent success with a couple different types of plays in a game, and then him inexplicably changing what's working, the offense stalling out for 2-3 series, before finally going back to what was working/not being able to because we're behind multiple scores and have no time.

For the most part, we stuck with the dink and dunk which the Browns inexplicably didn't seem to try hard to take away. I credit McCarthy with that, and obviously Hundley as well for executing it.

Not to criticize Hundley but the soft defense sure helped pad his stats.

For a couple of years I have contended that no GM is going to trade for Brett. Certainly not give up a high draft pick for him. Since there is 1 year left on his contract maybe it is a little early to talk about what happens in 2019.

Let's say there is no team willing to make a trade for him after this season is over. Brett plays out the his rookie contract and becomes an UFA.

Does some team give him medium bucks to be their backup QB?
Bigger bucks to be their starting QB?
Does GB make him a modest offer to be their Current version of the perennial backup such as Doug Pederson?

Even though I have been unhappy with his performance over the first three years, I wouldn't object if he is the backup for another 3 years.

Yup. He overperformed this game, but that's not his fault. The Browns kept giving us the short stuff and we kept taking them. Why teams wouldn't play with safeties up all game and daring us to throw deep on 1 on 1 coverage is beyond me - Hundley's accuracy more than 15 yards downfield has been atrocious.

Williams was blitzing Hundley and didnt want to get burned deep. That’s why they were giving a cushion.

Btw, Hundley’s rating against the blitz was 114.

I don't know why he was so afraid of being burned deep. Again, because his accuracy stinks. And what's worse, giving up 10 5 yard passes or one 30 yard pass?
