Brett Hundley has had a rough beginning to his career as a starting quarterback.
That much is certain. In two-plus games since taking over for Aaron Rodgers, Hundley has a stat line of just 57-97 for 489 yards, one touchdown, and four picks. The big plays aren’t coming, and when he does throw a reasonably good deep ball, something unfortunate happens.
That was the case a couple of times on Monday night, as two notable deep attempts fell without success. However, Hundley’s pocket presence needs work as well, as we’ll see in today’s Curds.
