Aaron Rodgers' backup battle futile without improvement

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- At this time last year, the Green Bay Packers couldn't have felt more comfortable with their backup quarterback.

They believed they would be in good hands with Brett Hundley if something happened to Aaron Rodgers.

Last season showed how wrong they were.

Although Hundley kept the Packers on the fringes of playoff contention with three wins after Rodgers broke his collarbone, coach Mike McCarthy's postseason assessment that even in his third year Hundley "wasn't ready for what he needed to be ready for" told all.
