Interestingly enough, Schneider is a Wisconsin native and was a mentee of Ron wolf and comes from Ron Wolf’s GM tree. I believe he also had a clause in his contract that if ever the packers GM job became available, he can terminate his current contract to pursue the packers job. Many hoped for him to take over after ted.

That was a provision in Schneider's first contract, but when he signed his second contract in 2016 it was removed.

The Packers by the way were denied permission to interview JS when TT was demoted.

He's not a good enough quarterback. If he was, the Saints wouldn't be shelling out a 3rd round pick for Bridgewater, or sticking him on special teams. A backup QB is way, way more valuable than a gunner. The infatuation that Packer fans have had with Hill since they cut him is ridiculous.

They used to be infatuated with Hundley. I wonder if he fetched us that 2nd rounder they were calling for?

Kudos to the FO for rehabilitating his value to the point of getting anything out of him.

It seems obvious that the reason Hundley played so much was to show case him.

Just wondering. Do players know ahead of time that they may be involved in a trade?

According to our Seahawk fan friend, it seems it was Pete Carroll who was pushing for this.

Theoretically, Hundley should fit the Russell Wilson zone read offense better than ours. But at least if he fails in the Seahawk offense, certain fans here like Patriotplayer90 are going to look stupid for blaming Mike McCarthy for his failures. Even more so if Boyle has a duplicate game of Matt Flynn's 400 yard 6 TD pass game.

 

[Mondio]

He probably fits their offense better than he fits ours. He was a 5th round pick, not a 1st. He had some success in games he had some really bad games. He has some good qualities and some not so great. Pocket presence isn't great, neither is throwing to the middle of the field medium and deep passes. Moving a pocket and giving him more freedom to run and not be a pocket passer helps in one regard. I wouldn't be surprised to see him have more success there than here and it has nothing to do with the head coach.

I doubt the players are notified ahead of time, unless it involves a rework of their current contract. Or the front office has a soft spot and calls a guy like Hundley in to say "we are in trades talks with the Seahawks, would moving to Seattle be absolutely something you can't do?" I doubt that happens though.

I am guessing most NFL players are aware of the fact that they are a commodity and at anytime their job status or location can change.

"U'm yeah coach, and incident at Starbucks got me banned from the city. I can never go back there"

Some players may get the courtesy of being informed that they are being shopped and a trade could happen but I'm sure most of them find out at the moment the trade happens and some probably find out the way we do. There also might be some sort of indication if contract talks suddenly spring up as if a team is trying to lock down a contract before a trade. I'm sure Hundley at least had an inkling that his career in GB would be over soon whether it was a trade or being cut.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if he had better games there as his abilities do seem to fit what they do more than what we do. Of course some fans will use that as evidence that we made a mistake in trading him (especially if Kizer flops) but I don' think that would mean that GB made a mistake in trading him. Just because he fits in better there doesn't mean he would have made strides here.

Well, I certainly would be praying nothing happens to RW if I was a Hawks fan because I would not want to be stuck with the slower deer in the headlights no accuracy sack taker.

But at least now he's their problem and not ours.

And fans will just be stupid and pick gripes with MM anyway. They were doing it well before Hundley even got here. If Kizer or Boyle succeed, they'll say he just got lucky like he did with Rodgers.

To me, all it takes is Boyle looking like Flynn and MM is vindicated.

 

[Mondio]

I don't need any of it to happen to know MM is a good coach. This team has been thru enough adversity to see it. He turned Favre around later in his career and Rodgers looks nothing like he did when he entered the league. I don't care how lucky we are, he is, the packers are Ted is, whatever. It doesn't take away from how good others have been with these guys too.

and nobody wants to see their franchise QB get hurt so they can see the back up.

We're going to need all the late rounders we can get if our first 3 picks go to Oakland for Mack.

The Packers better not trade their first three picks in next year's draft for Mack.

Had to get rid of Hundley he was making the Kizer trade look bad. Thing is Boyle looked better than either Hundley or Kizer, so let's trade Kizer for a 7th rounder pick and roll with Boyle as the number two.

That would be a terrible idea. While Boyle has a strong arm he isn't close to being ready to perform at a decent level against a starting defense.

Hill has been a special teams standout and with his unique skillset the Saints are talking about finding a role for him on offense other than quarterback. Given the way theyre thinking of using him Id see it as a likelihood that the injury risk is simply too high. Besides with his intelligence and skill set maybe he is better off playing elsewhere on the field.

Hill played 15.4% of the Saints special teams snaps last season. That seems to indicate he wasn't a standout in that area either.

Not all that surprising. Boyle is probably the better short term backup, he's just way ahead of Kizer in making reads and all the mental stuff.

Kizer is definitely more ready to face an NFL defense than Boyle.

 

[Mondio]

Boyle was not even Scott Tolzien, why does everyone want him to play so badly? He has a lot to learn. So does Kizer, but he's far and away better at this point that Boyle. We had the best scenario happen. I didn't want to keep 3 QB's, but Hundley was outplaying Kizer. Kizer was obviously a guy they want to develop and are going to give him more than a preseason to do it in. But Hundley was proving very capable of holding down the back up spot. Thankfully they were able to get a trade done for him, as I don't think they were going to just cut him. And we didn't have to keep 3 roster spots for QB's

I was thinking Boyle was a bit more in command, but the KC game sure didn't look like it. Anyway, good to have both of them and the coaches will figure it out.

Once again, I highly doubt Boyle makes the 53.
