I wanted y'all to keep winning so we could get an excuse to play our backup, but instead you got that honor and we're stuck with the curse of fighting for a spot in the playoffs with Jordan Love sitting on the bench not knowing if he's our future. You’re about to be (comparatively) irrelevant for the first time in decades, enjoy your last shot at the playoffs with Rodgers while you can.

Professor_Nutter_Butter Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Could not be happier Rivera decided to not suck for at least a moment. It's a win-win decision (assuming he's not just average). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarExpress Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 2 hours ago, RandyHolt said: Calling it - we are going to line up Howell wide to get his feet wet. Either he is no where near ready or Ron's an idiot. Heh I guess both can be true. I guess I do need to throw in the high likelihood that the Turner offense is far too complex and that makes him "not ready". Remember Fitz a vet said it was complicated. Long live the 800 page Al Saunders playbook they dumped on Candle's lap only to purge it for year 2. Yet its always the QBs fault when he fails. I always forget about Al Saunders.

And then comes TH and makes our games watchable again…getting wins. I fully acknowledge that he is NOT a starting QB, but I think he’s a very good backup. He’s ready when his number is called. I will happily be a Hiver as he made the worst time of my life enjoyable, if only for a few hours. He loves the game and his team. I wish him the best and another chance as a backup. Damned if he didn’t earn it. And his teammates love him. Regardless of what you think of his NFL ability he's been playing meaningful football games as the starting QB here for the past 3 years due to the lack of any other healthy or quality starters in the room. Come to think of it, if it wasnt for TH keeping us in mediocrity we might have our hands on a future franchise QB already through the draft?

I don't know about the hope that he stays here as a backup He might just understand he is a backup and stay where he wants. thats what he is going to be elsewhere.

We'll see. I've decided that Jordan Love being a first round pick taken in the 20s spending three years holding the clipboard behind a legend will be a perfect mirror of Rodgers being a first round pick taken in the 20s spending three years holding the clipboard behind a legend. I hear the Jets could use a QB; wouldn't it be something if Rodgers was traded to the Jets to bring in the Jordan Love era in GB after Favre was traded to the Jets to bring in the Rodgers era? Love will bring another 20 years of dominion to the Packers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel.redskins Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I just want to see Howell make quick decisions. He held the ball for too long in college and that is the main reason he slipped so far in the draft. He has everything else needed to be a franchise QB. If he makes quick decisions on Sunday then we build around him. This could be a big game for our franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadium-Armory Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Since it’s only one game, I look at it as something to see if he passes the eye test but not much more. Not fair to him to judge this as his “shot”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But keep drinking the Gatorade lol 😂 You're talking to the Packers fan that, when partaking in the ES Mock draft a few years ago, actually drafted Jordan Love in the first round. (edit: here's the post where I selected him) Honestly, though, we fans just don't have the game film to make judgements, which I was hoping to get this season, but the team stubbornly remained in the playoff hunt.

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I don’t believe a lot of the hearsay on Twitter. But what I do believe is that Sam Howell is a stone cold killer. And it won’t take that trait long to show up. 4 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell of a guy I’m not surprised that Heinicke would be a stand up guy and teammate. At all. If it’s true I’m more surprised that Rivera needed Heinicke to talk sense into him. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 So with the Jurgenson ceremony and Howell starting, once again we get to have a little "Sonny and Sam." perfect timing! 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, pardon me for being skeptical that there’s not more meat on this bone. Heinicke seems like a good dude and all, but I feel like there is probably more at play here.

Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Whatever you do, do not get your hopes up. That’s what this team does. They find a way to get your hopes up and then they crush them… on purpose. That’s all they are trying to do with this move is crush your hopes one last time before the season is over. We will score no points, and may God have mercy on our souls. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seemed an unnecessary risk to me. As it happens, he also played very bad and by all accounts looked bad in practice. Now one game for Howell. Hardly a sufficient sample size for next season. the problem was Heinicke hadn't played poorly enough to be benched until maybe the second half against the Giant in the second game and the problem with that game was the game plan at first 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
