Packers’ good pass protection is giving Matt LaFleur solid evaluations on his backup QBs

The Green Bay Packers appear to be struggling to decide on a backup (or multiple backups) for quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the 2019 preseason and training camp. DeShone Kizer and Tim Boyle are competing for the #2 job behind Rodgers, with undrafted rookie Manny Wilkins getting a handful of preseason snaps late in the team’s first two games. And although the two QBs have had their ups and downs, the team has at least been seeing them under fairly ideal circumstances.

This is due to the offensive line, which has largely kept the quarterbacks clean and afforded them time to go through their progressions properly and get the football out on time.
