Pre-Camp Preview: Quarterbacks
This is the first in a series of position-by-position previews of the 2018 Green Bay Packers following the OTAs and minicamps. Training camp begins on July 26. TIM BOYLE: The undrafted rookie has ideal size and a strong arm, but his college stats were horrific. The former Eastern Kentucky star completed only 55% of his […]
Read MoreQ&A: Is Hundley Worth Keeping?
Unlike the United States Postal Service, Packers Notes delivers on Sundays – at least through August. Here are the first batch of letters from the offseason mailbag: Is there any point in bringing Brett Hundley back for another season? – Carl from Ohio Why wouldn’t you bring Hundley back? He obviously wasn’t good enough in […]

Here are four questions heading into today’s game between Green Bay and Baltimore: 1) What should be expected from Jamaal Williams in the weeks to come? Not too much.

Here are four big questions heading into today’s game between Green Bay and Chicago: 1) Is Brett Hundley a lost cause? It’s too soon to say that.

I‘ll be answering your questions each Saturday from now until the end of the 2017 season (hopefully that’ll be in February). Here are some of this week’s submissions: Why do you think Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy (I assume he had to be directly involved in the decision) let Eddie Lacy go? Even when overweight […]
Read MoreHolding On To Hundley
It’s easy to opine that Green Bay should trade Brett Hundley for a high pick, but unless the backup quarterback plays well during the regular season, that’s probably not going to happen. Even if the former UCLA star has a great August, it’s hard to imagine any team making GM Ted Thompson an offer he […]
Read MorePositional Analysis: Quarterback
This is the first of a 14-part series examining each position going into the offseason. Starter (A+): Aaron Rodgers struggled a bit early, but ended the season playing the position about as well as it’s ever been played.
