I think his timing was perfect, just there was no one there, so it was accuracy that was the problem.
Or he was a really ****ty passer. I'm entertaining that thought too.
I think what's most maddening with Hundley is that when you read his weaknesses in scouting reports from his draft profiles coming out of college, they are verbatim the exact same ones he currently has. It's like he time traveled back 3 years and the Packers just plucked him off the UCLA field and plopped him in as a starter.
3 years in the "guru" QB academy did nothing to change his timing, pocket awareness, or the basic ability to go through QB reads. Making it worse, it then took weeks as a starter for MM or Van Pelt or Bennett to figure out he was night and day from being in shot gun vs under center AND designing game plans that would feature his ability to run.

Pretty evident to me that the QB guru felt he could fix him and he miscalculated badly in a mistake that unfortunately appears to be ongoing.
What I don't get is why he can't see what we see.
Now that's funny.

BH had ample time to learn the system and more than enough time to show that he could be an adequate backup. IMO, he failed miserably. His completion % is a result of throwing 5 yard throws on 3rd and 10. He showed no pocket awareness at all and a total lack of vision downfield. I was comfortable with the risk of him last year, but he has no business being in camp this year. They need to spend the $$ on a serviceable backup and bring in an arm or two through the draft to challenge Callahan for #3. Letting MM (indirectly) blame Van Pelt and double down on his mistake is a recipe for disaster again.
We do what we do.
See Capers, Dom.
You did make me laugh, but the roster is not MM's decision, sometimes you need to save someone from themselves. The first thing Gute should have done is cut Hundley.
Nope. Gute will keep Hundley on board probably until the draft at least. Heck he might be able to trade him for pick #256 or whatever. Never let go of your assets prematurely. But let them go after they've exhausted their usefulness, or poison the locker room, or become too expensive.
