Report: Packers tried to sign Brian Hoyer

Posted by Michael David Smith on November 1, 2017, 12:16 PM





Brian Hoyer is back with the Patriots, but New England isn’t his only option.

The Packers tried to sign Hoyer before he agreed to go to New England, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.




Rapoport’s report calls into question Packers coach Mike McCarthy’s claim that the team was fully committed to Brett Hundley as the starter and Joe Callahan as the backup and didn’t need to bring in a veteran after Aaron Rodgers was hurt. McCarthy got angry when he was asked whether the Packers would consider Colin Kaepernick, and the Packers insisted that McCarthy wasn’t angry to be asked specifically about Kaepernick and would have reacted the same way if asked about any veteran quarterback.

And now we have a report that a veteran quarterback would have become a Packer, if the team had gotten its way. That suggests that the Packers aren’t quite as confident in Hundley as they’re letting on.





In a related story, fuck the packers...

Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs is a Minnesotan now, for sure.

I give you Vikings RB1 in 5 short years, James Cook who just committed to Georgia:

The fact that the Vikings, who sit at 6-2 during their bye week, are in first place in the NFC North has impressed Grant.Bud Grant oversaw the greatest stretch of defensive teams in NFL history from 1969 to ’71, when his Vikings squads gave up 9.5 points per game in 1969, 10.2 in ’70 and 9.9 in ’71.
That 1969 total still stands as the second-best mark all-time. 1971 is tied for fourth, and 1970 ranks seventh.
Grant talked about what he sees from Mike Zimmer’s defensive game plan these days, as the 2017 Vikings defense is ranked fourth in the NFL at 16.9 points per game and third in yards per game at 282.1.
“He understands defense, but he also understands one of the most important things in coaching is you have to understand the personalities and put them in the right spots,” Grant said. “He understands who can play and puts them in position to be successful. He is a great defensive coach. As long as you go along and only allow a team one or two or even three touchdowns a game, you have a chance to win.”
