I have more confidence in Hundley than I did in Graham Harrell, Seneca Wallace, Vince Young and Scott Tolzien. Sadly, that says very little for Hundley based on his body of work so far. Callahan is untested.

Hoyer would have provided the veteran presence on the bench. This, reaching out to Hoyer, has to be in the back of Hundley's mind.

This article is just looking to start a fight:). How about a "tastes great" vs "less filling" commercial.

Monday night will pretty much make or break Hundley's career. Even if he does well, he will have to repeat that many times for people to believe it wasn't a fluke.

Same might be said for MM. I don't blame him (too much) for publicly praising Hundley even if he is privately less confident. But what he said it correct - he's got 3 years invested in Hundley and if that didn't make him a good enough backup, they should have know that. How - you might ask? I don't know but that's why he gets paid the big $. But he's got a track record of sticking with players. He was right on Crosby. But had Jones 4th on the RB list and let Hill go while keeping Callahan.

Of course, this is GB. Where whatever management there is, doesn't seem to be too keen on winning another SB.

I really think we will see a much improved offense this week. I think McCarthy and the coaches took time to come up with an offense to better suite Hundley.

They need to find a way to get the WR's more involved while at the same time getting some easy throws for Hundley. Much like the simple play they ran on the easy pass to Cobb who they faked the jet sweep to. I think we will some different looks as McCarthy will show off some creativity. I can see them using more 2 RB sets to get Montgomery and Jones on the field together.

I would expect to see more read option type of stuff. With young mobile QB's it really helps a lot of them, as it causes defenses to pause.
I think the offense will be much better then against the Saints.

Ted Thompson made a big mistake releasing Taysom Hill--one mistake of many this past off-season.

I think most of us here shouted "No!" when Hill's name popped up on the cut list (I sure did), because we knew he'd get claimed. But hey, I was equally angered over releasing McCaffrey, and he wound up coming back--so angry fans don't know everything.

Looking at Brian Hoyer isn't a show of no confidence in Hundley, but rather a lack of confidence in our QB depth. That problem would have been lessened had Ted kept Hill.

Every team must have a DEEP THREAT on 3rd down if they wish to flow offensively

PASS RUSH Just not there

I don't understand what the Packers are doing. They move in increments as opposed to the Patriots who do what is necessary

At this point it is difficult to have a high level of confidence in either Hundley or Callahan. We all knew going in that Hundley was never going to be Aaron Rodgers but that's OK because no one else is going to be either.

Hundley has demonstrated that he has the physical tools to play well. The questions is when will the game "slow down" enough for him to begin to apply his tools and allow him to play well. Reaching that point is different for every QB.

Brett Favre came in and played well almost from his first game leading a comeback win versus the Bengals in 1992 and then winning his first start against the Steelers.
However, Brett had a better defense and OL than Hundley has today and a better HC.

The Packers went 6-10 in 2008, Aaron Rodgers first season as a starting QB. IIRC, Aaron first stated that the game "slowed down" for him during the 2010 campaign.

Maybe It will begin to better for Hundley by Monday evening maybe not. It would certainly help if the OL plays solidly and the defense makes some stops and/or creates a few turnovers.

Right now my confidence level (On a scale of 0-10, 0 = none and 10 = Aaron Rodgers) in Hundley is 2 -4 out of 10 and my confidence level for Callahan is 0. Hopefully those numbers for Hundley will improve after Monday evening's performance. Thanks, Since '61

Hundley reminds me a lot of Alex Smith. It took a few years before the game slowed down for Smith, but once it did, his arm, athleticism, and high IQ took over.

I expect similar things from Hundley, though to what degree is uncertain. My prediction is we'll see vast improvement if McCapers doesn't put Hundley in deep holes with conservative game plans.

IMHO it is way, way, too soon to get a read on how good (or bad) Hundley will be as the starting QB. I'm just going to watch the game (finally, one that's actually shown in AZ!) Monday night with guarded enthusiasm and excitement to see my team playing. Here's hoping Brett has a great game and the comments section on Tuesday becomes much more positive! There's so much negativity in the "real" world right now we could use some uplifting moments watching our favorite game and team. I'm going to stay optimistic and believe we see a lot of those moments from the Packers. Go, Pack, Go!

You have to expect coming out of the bye week the offense with all 5 offensive lineman back and more practice time with the skill players and Hundley they can expand the offensive game plan and score more points. The real key is the defense, the Lion's QB without being pressured can light the scoreboard up. Silverstein''s article "Clock Ticking on Dom Capers Packers Defense" today indicates Capers and the defense are at a cross roads.

This QB thing is just another example of TT and MM not being on the same page. MM offense relies on passing, TT drafts a bunch of RBs. TT signs a couple of TEs, MM doesn't target TEs much and one sits on the bench. MM says we have our QBs, TT goes out and looks for another. Same old stuff, different season.

Who cares if the Packers contacted Hoyer? The personnel department gets paid to do exactly that every day. Hundley is on the last year of his deal and if he moves on we will ned another QB anyway for the future. If they sign Hoyer they probably don't need to use a draft pic on a QB next year. Makes total sense to me.

There are plenty of other questions I'd rather have answered. Like "How much longer are we going to keep the same defensive scheme and leadership when we keep losing in the exact same ways every year?"

AR has been dragging Caper's defense into the playoffs every year. We don't beat a team with a good offense unless we win in a shootout as time expires due to AR magic.

Now everyone can finally see what our team looks like with a developing youngster or any other mortal playing QB. Is this a surprise to anyone? Did we really need video proof?

Hundley deserves his chance to learn and make mistakes before people throw the towel in on him. This is what football looks like to the rest of the NFL.

If we had put a solid defense around Rodgers years ago we would have been playing the Patriots in the SB every year. If we had a typical owner MM would have been told to dump Capers years ago. I've seen enough. If MM wants to stay devoted to DC then his chair should open too.

I think Hundley will be fine. He's hardly had a chance to get his feet wet. Is he going to play lights out week in and week out? No. As stated above, this is what the majority of teams deal with every few years. We've been blessed as fans to have back to back HOF QB's.
As far as defense is concerned, Capers can and should simplify his schemes with so many young players. He can add throughout the season, but expecting rookies and inexperienced players to be completely smooth with all the personnel packages etc, is asking for trouble..

Hundley has had 3 years , if he isn't ready now then he never will be . Hill showed some promise but Hundley is the guy, this is his audition now , Monday night football , Lambeau , it's now or never.

I hope Hundley has a good game against Detroit. We tend to forget the pressure he is dealing with trying to fill the shoes of Aaron Rodgers, with little game experience, and to keep the team in the playoff hunt. Then add that this next game is on MNF with a national audience watching. He has an extreme uphill battle, especially with a supporting cast on defense that is just not very good. MM needs to step up and be the coach he is supposed to be with QB's, and put Hundley in a position to be able to have any success. But Hundley has to keep his wits about him and do the job that he is getting paid to do.

I think it will help Hundley having Rodgers on the sideline to help him.

And I don't believe that Hundley was drafted to be AR's replacement. Just to be a solid backup. The results are not in yet. We just have to wait and see. Monday night will show us a lot about the kid, and about MM too.
