QB Brett Hundley impressed coaches, could earn backup role in 2016

Albeit, premature, maybe the Packers can strike gold three times in a row at quarterback.

The weekly routine of rookie quarterback Brett Hundley remained unchanged for every game of the 2015 season.

Hundley, drafted in the fifth round out of UCLA, spent his days squarely in the shadows of starter Aaron Rodgers and backup Scott Tolzien. He played the role of inquisitive youngster — question and notes, questions and notes — whose main job, aside from improving, was to command the scout team for the Green Bay Packers.

Monday through Friday were made for hands-on learning. Sundays were reserved for observing.

Hundley, 22, was inactive for all 18 games this season, and the sparkling highlight reel he compiled in August and early September was thrust ever deeper into the recesses of public perception. The passer rating of 129.6, the 69% completion rate, the seven touchdowns and only one interception faded as the dregs of training camp were washed away.

Say he beats out Tolzein with a great pre season this year and follows it up with another in 2017 and 2018. As long as Aaron is playing at the top of his game some team is going to offer Hundley a chance at the starting spot and my guess is he will jump at it. The only way we keep him around is if Aaron slides and I hope that does not happen. If Aaron stays at the top there is no way we sign Hundley to a second contract if he shows he has what it takes to be a starter.

I honestly think our best hope for Hundley is that he shows some amazing skills in the next couple of years and some team offers us a decent pick fo him in a trade or we get a 3rd round comp for him. I doubt he is Aaron's heir apparent.

Just like Aaron did.

If the Packers plan on keeping Tolzien around as a good backup quarterback, then Hundley should be showcased this preseason and traded before next year's draft for a first round pick from an AFC team.
