Quarterbacks

Starter: Aaron Rodgers

This one is a no-brainer … we know what the entire league knows – that Aaron Rodgers is not only one of the top two quarterbacks (if not the top QB) in the league. He’s a player who many feel was not at his best in 2015. Some say it was because his favorite target – Jordy Nelson – was not on the field, but it probably goes beyond that.

Everyone has a pretty high bar set for Rodgers and when he starts missing wide open passes that in the past he could complete with his eyes closed, one has to wonder.

Rodgers admits he didn’t play up to his standards in 2015 and has also indicated that he is all-in for the 2016 season. A determined Rodgers is not a good thing for opponents.

Expect him to be at his best and lead the Packers to another successful season.

Backup: Brett Hundley

As for Hundley, he is a promising youngster who will get his chances in the preseason. Coaches are going to want to see a lot of this guy, so expect him to be on the field for much of the Packers five preseason games this year.

Unless Rodgers goes down with an injury, he will be delegated to holding the clipboard again in 2016.
