Joe Callahan is ready to go if needed (as if he'd have a choice)

From the moment Packers coach Mike McCarthy barked "did you just listen to the question I just answered?' at a reporter who had the nerve to ask whether Colin Kaepernick could be added to the post-Aaron Rodgers quarterback depth chart, one thing became clear: Former Division III quarterback Joe Callahan would be one injury to [more]

How inadequate is Callahan that they refuse to bring him in for a series when clearly Hundley isn't doing the job?

I don't think it really has anything to do with Callahan. McCarthy is ultra stubborn and staked his credibility on Hundley early so now he's going ride with him no matter what

Ya, it could be that a coach puts in a player that will hurt the team because of ego; but com'mon do you really believe that? There is no crying in football!

Come here boys [patting on my knee], let's talk. Prescott looked great last year behind a studly OL. Kaekpernick looked great for 2 years behind a studly OL. Then those OL stopped being so good and guess what happened?...No no, no guess...Yes, that right! They didn't play so well, very good here is a gold star.

Now its gonna get tougher. If these guy were stuck behind these bad OLs in their first 4 games; how do you think they'd look? Very good another gold star!

Hundley has gone thru 4 games of growing pains and now you want to start all over again?

Now let's take some of these remedial things we've learned and apply them when you speak to the world.

The OL hasn't been all that bad for Hundley. He's averaged holding the ball a full second longer than Rodgers even. Guys are there early in plays but he doesn't let it go.

McCarthy is stubborn he always has been. Sometimes it works out for him sometimes it doesn't. I have no doubt he thinks he's always making the right choices but sometimes it's ok to scrap a plan that didn't work early on. He was pretty quick to dump Clements and take back play calling for himself though even though it didn't really help.

Yeah the idea that Mike might let his ego get in the way of what's best for the team is completely ridiculous but Aaron Rodgers does it all the time right?...

I couldn't help sighing longingly as I watched Case Keenum stepping up adroitly in the pocket whenever he was under pressure this past Sunday. It would be so nice to have a quarterback who kept his eyes downfield when the stallions are closing in instead of sprinting for the nearest sideline the moment he hears the pounding hooves. Need I remind anyone that Rodgers was hurt while rolling out?
