Packers Roster - The Quarterbacks - 25 Years of Great Quarterbacking!

Brett Favre hands off to Aaron Rodgers - MANY teams would give up everything for that!!!

It wasn't a pretty hand off, but for Packer Fans it was the correct play call!

And, the Packer Quarterbacks for 2017:

Aaron Rodgers - 6'2" - 225 - California - Year 13

Brett Hundley - 6'3" - 226 - UCLA - Year 3

Joe Callahan - 6'1" - 216 - Wesley - Year 2

Taysom Hill - 6'2" - 221 - Brigham Young - Rookie

This list may seem obvious, but there are some BIG decisions!  Of course, not Aaron, but, Hundley, the back up is in year three & many teams would love to have him.  Callahan was a surprise let year & his battle with Hill may be VERY important!  We all know Aaron will play only 2-3 series in the pre-season so, Hundley, Callahan & Hill will get a BIG look!

Aaron Rodgers - 6'2" - 225 - California - Year 13
We have seen some amazing things from Mr. Rodgers!  He has had some great quotes!  He has dated movie stars.  Has a great golf game!  And, has even kicked but on game shows Jeopardy & $100,000 Pyramid!  And ONE Super Bowl!!!!  We NEED MORE!!

Career Stats:
My favorite Rodgers quote the summer of 2017, "I'm on the back nine of my career!"

Enough said, we have the best, not the other 52 need to help!!

Brett Hundley - 6'3" - 226 - UCLA - Year 3
Seems to be the perfect back up, but I think, one more year and he is out of here.  He looks like great insurance, but if Brett has a great pre-season may make him great trade bait?  Risky, yes!  Possible, yes - and why not - I would take a quality running back, pass rusher, linebacker?  Or, a high draft pick!  Trades in the NFL are not very common, but later in season, if someone is desperate - Maybe!

Career Stats:
2015 - 0 Completions - 0 Attempts - 0 Yards - 0 TD's
2016 - 2 Completions - 10 Attempts - 17 Yards - 0 TD's

Not much to go on, and that is really OK for Packer fans!

Joe Callahan - 6'1" - 216 - Wesley - Year 2
Not many QB's out of Wesley!  But, the Packers liked something about this guy!  He is a smart kid, has some poise, and diamonds are found in a lot of places!  Let's wait & see how he looks compared to Hundley?

Callahan, a 6-foot-1, 216-pound rookie, was originally signed by Green Bay as an undrafted rookie out of Wesley College on May 6. After being released by the Packers on Oct. 13, he was claimed off waivers by the New Orleans Saints. Callahan was released by the Saints on Oct. 22 and claimed by the Cleveland Browns on Oct. 24, but was released on Nov. 29. In 2015, he became the first NCAA Division III quarterback to throw for 5,000 yards in a season, earning the Gagliardi Trophy, the highest award in Division III football.

Taysom Hill - 6'2" - 221 - Brigham Young - Rookie
Another unknown quantity.  The pre-season is boring for some fans, but I love to see what the new faces look like!  What will Taysom do?

Started 33 of 37 games played during his career, completing 609 of 1,047 passes (58.2 pct.) for 6,929 yards, 43 touchdowns and 31 interceptions. He registered 2,815 rushing yards (most among BYU QBs) on 534 attempts (5.3 avg.) with 32 touchdowns.

Again, not much to go on, but we will see!

My advice again - chuck the football Aaron!
