I actually said I would settle for no less than Khalil Mack in return for Hundley. I actually thought you were serious and really wanted to see where this was going. Now I'm secretly hoping for anarchy by the way of Wilson getting hurt, Hundley winning 12 games. and ZOMG FIRE MACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC TRAIN to be the biggest of all time.

I can't imagine like 25% of what I talk about football wise being trying to crap on my rival as if it's going to make them a worse team somehow. I used to joke they need therapy, until I realized that is their therapy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they liked Taysom Hill a good deal, but I don't think anyone in that FO is losing sleep over losing him. Also, NO traded for Teddy Bridgewater, so Taysom Hill will be their 3rd string?

He was already playing behind Tom flipping Savage. I have to think they keep him to be #3 and play ST like he has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a threat to run / throw the ball from punt formation, he lines up as the personal protector " In the first quarter, Hill received a direct snap in punt formation and ran 5 yards to extend the Saints’ drive on fourth-and-3 " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg C. Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 My main feeling now that Hundley is gone is relief. We will never have to watch him in a Packer uniform again. Last year was a nightmare. He looked significantly better in the preseason this year, and I thought he had an edge on Kizer, but I'm still relieved. I didn't think they could get anything for him, so a 6th round pick is really good. I think it was odd that he started every game in the preseason only to get traded away. Maybe they were looking to increase his trade value, and if that's the case it worked, but it seems like a high price to pay, depriving Kizer of snaps with Packer starters against decent competition from opposing defenses.

Sasquatch Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 GB got the better of this deal. Just think of how much the organization will save on bubble gum alone?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I wanted to go with Kizer, given that he's got a much stronger arm, and is several years younger with possible development ahead. He may turn out no better than Hundley, in the end, but not having four chances to show that he'd never be very good, I much preferred taking a shot on an unknown who might become fairly good over a guy who never will. So I thought Hundley was redundant all along and hoped we'd cut him. To get a 6th probably won't be anything, but a 6th-round pick with a shot is better than nothing. So very pleased. And surprised Gute was able to get a 6th. Nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg C. Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 To answer my own question from earlier in this thread, I think they started Hundley in the preseason games because they were leaning toward keeping him over Kizer (or keeping both, with Hundley as the #2 and Kizer as the #3), but when Seattle offered a 6th round pick, they decided to take it. Had someone offered a late round pick for Kizer, they may have taken that deal instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this thinking.....although you never know.....if a nice trade offer for Kizer came along the organization was in a good spot to take advantage of it. Not that I was eager for Hundley possibly taking regular season snaps again....but just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
