Mike McCarthy Puts Full Faith Behind Hundley
It’s hard to think of a tougher press conference than the one on a Monday after you’ve potentially lost your starting quarterback for the season. Mike McCarthy had to stand on the podium and field all sorts of questions about his MVP quarterback going down plus ones about his new quarterback, Brett Hundley. Other questions flying around if the team should sign a quarterback like Colin Kaepernick. McCarthy sounded pissed to be asked a question about other quarterbacks. Not angry about the person himself, rather, angry that people do not trust his guys. It speaks volumes of what McCarthy believes he has in Hundley.
The national media wanted to make it seem like the Packers coach did not want a quarterback like Kaepernick. That’s the narrative people want to portray, yet in reality, McCarthy wants you to know that Hundley and Joe Callahan are his fucking guys. I love that. If I was Hundley, I would love that heading into my first official NFL start. People might say it’s bullshit, but it’s not. This is a guy that the Packers coaches molded through the last three years. And now they actually have an opportunity to showcase what they did with him.
Now if Hundley struggles, should we criticize the Packers coaches for how they developed him? Perhaps. I feel like there are a ton of variables in play here. If Green Bay plays with half a starting offensive line all season, it’s going to be tough whomever is at quarterback. Many people will want this to be a season where the Packers clean house which is by far the stupidest type of Packers fan.
Packers are not going to bring in another quarterback unless they have to with multiple injuries. These are the guys for this organization. If you don’t like it, join the others who are boycotting. Either you’re with the Packers right now on a quest for another playoff appearance or you’re against it.
