Giving up on Packers after Aaron Rodgers injury ignores history of successful backup QBs The gloom and doom in Packerland this week amid Aaron Rodgers broken collarbone suffered during Sundays loss to the Vikings is understandable. But I know Packers executives, coaches and players have not given up on the 2017 season. Hundley, the Packers 2015 fifth-round pick who was shaky in his relief role against a strong Vikings defense, at least has the benefit of knowing Green Bays system after being groomed for three years behind Rodgers. Even if Rodgers does not make it back this season, the Packers and their passionate fan base can take heart in the fact that several teams have made the playoffs and even won Super Bowls with backup quarterbacks. Remember Jeff Hostetler replacing the injured Phil Simms and leading the Giants to a championship in 1990? The first thing the Packers have to do is not feel sorry for themselves and take the next man up attitude with Hundley, who has an opportunity to set himself up for a future starting job if he can surprise the football world.
