If Hundley plays like he did vs NO, we should have signed Kaep. He didn't have the best opportunities, but he didn't light the world on fire either. You might be right but I'm not going to give up on a player after his first start. If we don't see improvement in the coming games then we have to wonder what Mac saw in this kid.

Had we signed Kaep right after AR got injured he would have a good 3-4 weeks with the playbook if Hundley implodes next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LacyIsGood Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Hundley looked fine. He wasn't spooked by the pass rush, and kept his eyes downfield. But if an almost untenable level of perfection continues to be required to make simple plays or show any consistency, he will fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With our offensive gameplan and defense, we still lose to the Saints with most starting NFL QBs in place of Hundley because they aren't Rodgers.

Nothing to do with the Saints I wouldnt strike if they signed Kaep by no means but I really dont see the point just based on my own feelings where this team stands. Personally i think there is 0% chance Rodgers can play again this year (13 screws...) so why bother spending money on Kaep? Plus, most people know my views about MM as an offensive game-planner and Dom and the defense so I dont think Kaep changes much, whether this week or 6 weeks from now. I'd rather just ride Hundley this year, do the best we can (I'm not a tanker kind of guy but that should work naturally anyways), get rid of Capers at the very least , and start over.

With two turnovers and a fantastic running game, I think we win with a lot of QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had a better QB or at least one with more experience we probably take advantage of those 2 INTs and the game is much different with a larger lead.

The issue with the turnovers (and they were good) was that they were basically the same as punts for the D. D got turnovers which led to poor/normal field position. Which is great because it's still 0 points, same as a forced punt. But it's not as if the defense was setting up the offense with excellent field position. Hundley was basically unwilling to uncork the ball until it was too late. He also missed a zone read play which could have been a huge run. Maybe you think a vet like Kaep makes those plays. Still, treat this game as a learning experience for Hundley. He didn't look as bad as he did the week before, and if he improves that much again going into week 9, then I think he's on the right track. I said straight off that what we need to see is zone read, improvement each week, and a commitment to passing on 1st and 2nd down to set up the run rather than the opposite. We saw the first 2, but not an early down passing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Hundley has two months to show whether he's a capable NFL QB. If he shows he can play, he'll be a VERY hot trade commodity for GB to dangle as he enters the final season of his rookie deal. If Hundley pulls a Brian Brohm, it's probably time for GB to start over at QB2. Either way, I think these next couple months will represent the apex of Hundley's time in GB. I hope he makes the best of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 If it does work out that Hundley is not in GB next season, the team could do a lot worse than bringing in Kaep in the off-season as a vet QB2 while a new QB prospect is brought in for long-term grooming.

Kaep cries foul and thinks the league is colluding against him because of his politics but Vick got a job after serving time in prison. If you can play, you should be able to find employment. Big difference. Vick didn't criticize a system, which made people who don't know much (a large number of NFL viewers) believe he was against something else.
