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?

Mucky Tundra (4h) : I really hope they stand pat and Draft a WR

Mucky Tundra (4h) : @DMRussini

Mucky Tundra (4h) : The Chicago Bears are very open for business at 9 and telling teams they are ready to move for the right price, per source

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend Penei Soul 4yrs - 112mil

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend St. Brown 4 years 120mil and

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

dfosterf (24-Apr) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (24-Apr) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

Mucky Tundra (22-Apr) : Based on Gutes comments, now I don't feel as silly having 13 picks in my mock the other day

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.

beast (18-Apr) : OT Dillard has been absolutely horrible... like OG Newman levels

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Suit him up and have him stand in front of the big board as a draft day cautionary tale.
