NFC North / NFL Thread 2017-18

It's Kaepernick time in Green Bay

If for no other reason than to be backup to Hundley. I haven't seen much of Hubdley, but he seems to be a similar style to Kaepernick.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

do you know the people in green bay?  you saw the thursday night game against bears right?  the one where aaron asked everyone to link arms?  i think they counted like 5 people...and they were bear fans

I do know. They care about the packers winning more than anything else. If he won games, he would be begrudgeonly accepted. If he lost,  there would be mobs.

This sucks. Packers were likely favorites going into every game for the rest of the regular season. Now I can't see us making the playoffs unless we pull a qb out of our ass

Even outside of Rodgers, there's no way Packers could have sustained success with all the injuries. Their o-line and secondary is going to be street free agents soon.

This. But our offensive line is irreparably injured. Doesn't really matter who they sign.

Odds are that Callahan is the guy.

excellent addendum-this whole team is devastated.  what did they have today?  3 or 4 more go down? 

actually hundley didn't look bad in preseason.  yes, i realize he was playing against guys who aren't even in the league anymore and probably working at walmart, but note i said HE looked ok.  he knows the playbook, is athletic and grading him on a road game in one of the tougher places to play and against one of the better defenses in the league. 

i think hundley's biggest problems may be staying healthy and adapting to the revolving door of players he's working with

[jsglow]

I think the fact that it's right vs. left a few years ago ends it for this season.  I suspect they IR him and if they have some chance at the end they'll reactivate.  But those are very long odds as the last time it wasn't dislocated or his throwing shoulder.

Shame for both the Packers and the league.

falcons lose AGAIN and at HOME??  jay cutler magic 'ey?

[4everwarriors]

Hundley is fookin' awful, ai na?

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Hundley is fookin' awful, ai na?

Yep. If we don't sign someone,  it means we decided to tank

[MUEng92]

The most critical part of the Lions, Vikings, and Bears game plans for winning the NFC North occurred today

[rocket surgeon]

Yep. If we don't sign someone,  it means we decided to tank

don't forget, as gb warrior mentioned, we do have callahan(i forgot about him) he may be better, at least i hope so, but who would you expect them to sign, EXCEPT him.  even aikman said the reason he ain't back in the league is because he ain't good enough

[TinyTimsLittleBrother]

Kaepernick should be signed by the Packers.  His mobility will help with the problems in the O-line.  Hundley was pretty poor.

[B. McBannerson]

I'd sign him and at least have him as a backup.

But can you imagine if they brought him in and he led the Pack to a Super Bowl.  Oh how the media would eat that up.

Can you imagine if they brought him in and he did nothing, the media would be silent.

[B. McBannerson]

That really sucks about Rodgers.

Reminds me of Tony Romo going down a few times.  Rushing back from that injury isn't a good idea, either.

[B. McBannerson]

It's Kaepernick time in Green Bay

Socks included?

[Jockey]

I see the usual creeps are out to shut down another thread.

[TinyTimsLittleBrother]

You mean if he just stood there and literally did nothing?  I bet that would make the news.

[wadesworld]

I see the usual creeps are out to shut down another thread.

Yup.

[B. McBannerson]

If he just stood there and did nothing, that would make the news because he hasn't been able to even do that.  Every time Hundley throws an incomplete, the camera would be on Kap.  When are they going to put him in.  GB wants that?  Good luck.

[forgetful]

That's not exactly what he said, he said that by the time he learned the offense and got up to game speed he likely wouldn't be any better than what they have. 

Kaep's played 12 games last year.  In 12 games he threw for 16 TDs with only 4 INTs, with a 90 QBR.  He ran for almost 500 yards and had 2 rushing TDs.  That would put him in the top 10-15 QBs this year. 

I'd sign him.  At the worst he is a very good backup in case our OL can't keep Hundley up.  At best, he is in game shape and is an improvement.

He's plenty good enough. See the game Hogan had today? Or Glennon in his first four starts?

Yeah I think the idea that he isn't at least an average quarterback is laughable.  I mean the Titans just signed Brandon Weeden.  I think it is quite obvious what is going on.

I so hope they do, just to shut 27% of this country up.

When the 2nd and 3rd best options are Matt McGloin and Matt Barkley, I think you have to at least kick the tires on Kaep.

Any quality backups out there the Pack could put together a trade for? Or do you just roll with Hundley and accept that you are only going to win 2 or 3 games the rest of the season and get a decent draft pick?

[TinyTimsLittleBrother]

I think you see how it goes this next Sunday.  Give him a chance at home and with a week's preparation.  If he struggles, and with a bye week coming up, they should look at alternatives.
