Ever since Brett Hundley heard his name announced with the rest of the Packers starters on Oct. 22, the staccato applause was accompanied by a healthy dose of criticism.
His passer rating in his first NFL start was a pedestrian 39.9. Hundley has rebounded and his passer rating for his short three-game starting sample has been 79.92.
That number isn’t delicious but it could be worse. Joe Flacco was once considered an elite NFL quarterback and now he is still suffering through the effects of a bad back combined with a poor receiving corps. Not to mention a career that has been defined with shaky decision-making — as evidenced by his double-digit interception numbers in every year in his now 10th year in the league.
