Losing Rodgers really sucks. I mean, this team just isn't as good as the 2013 squad and I really feel like we're hosed out of what could have been an 11 or 12 win season even if I don't necessarily think a deep playoff run was in the works. Without Rodgers even a wild card spot feels like a reach.

So here's my take.

Give Hundley one week. I'll take him right now. If he sucks, sign Kaep IMMEDIATELY and use the bye to get him acclimated.

Alternately sign Kaep now to get the fire under Hundley's rear end.

(read: My only concern is him learning the playbook by the time we play the Saints. Other than that I want him on the team immediately)

it seems bad to sign anyone with how rear end and hurt the o-line has been, unless everyone is coming back next week

signing Kaep and having him crush it is one of the funniest possible things I can imagine, however

Offense might turn out alright. Defense would have it's spirits broken after being shredded in practice every loving week.

Spare batteries are pretty key.
I'm trying to guess whether more of the owners are fat racist uncles or lefty union members. Either way there'd be a bunch that go up for sale when they took Kaep.

WHOOPS

lefty union members aren’t inherently sympathetic to the plights of minorities. plus, the thinking that “making such a fuss is rude” is a very midwest line of thought that isn’t bound by political leanings.

I don’t know that if the Packers take a pass on Kaepernick it’s automatically a racism thing. He’s a different style of quarterback. If they’re just looking for a placeholder to emulate Rodgers (badly) till he gets back Kaepernick isn’t really that guy.

I’d love to see it happen. It’d be a lot of fun to watch. But I’m guessing it’ll depend on how bad the Rodgers injury is.

It's not the Packers style to pick up free agents to replace injuries (with minor exceptions like James Jones in 2015), but I could see picking up Kaep working out if TT suddenly became a much more active GM.



For instance, if he were able to facilitate ten multi-party trades such that Dom Capers coached the opposing defense every week.

On a more serious note, the Packers have a really weird offense that is short on typical West Coast concepts and long on Rodgers pulling off crazy sandlot stuff and I don't think even a very good pocket passer with the ability to move around in the pocket and extend plays could thrive in it quickly. Especially given the 60% casualty rate on the offensive line. The options are spend money on a guy and miss the playoffs or don't spend money and miss the playoffs.


Although I guess that in this division this sort of thing is always possible (cf. 2013):

As much as I would like to see them do it they weren't going to sign Kaep because of Hundley. It's not a secret they're looking to shop him this offseason and if he plays well it'll bump up his trade value.

Can we trade him for a new Defensive Coordinator?

I'm fine with cool celebrations for things like TDs or sacks or ints. The new group celebration thing has been great.

Doing a soup spoon thing like a toddler every time you get a five yard gain looks stupid.

zeke doing his feed me more taunt after every 5 yard gain is awesome cause it means a linebacker or DT will taunt him with it after stuffing him for a loss. it all balances out.

would love to believe Teddy T will loosen the purse strings and get us Kaep or Romo or Tebow to turn the remainder of this season into an entertaining shitshow instead of the grim slog it's going to be, but let's face it, we're stuck with Not Tolzien for the foreseeable future
