I said this many times before-
If the conversation was simply that Huntley played admirably for a backup quarterback who went undrafted, you'd get zero push back. We'd all be like, "Yeah, that's true."
But the conversation didn't stop there.
Instead, a vocal minority that continued to grow started to question Lamar's ability, questioned if there should be a quarterback controversy, questioned whether the pick for Huntley would be a first or a second. I heard so much talk about how Huntley was reading defenses better and making better decisions. He was just so decisive and so certain of the offense.
The fact of the matter is that a portion of the fan base went way overboard and now they're getting absolutely pushed back on, and deservedly so.
Did Huntley play well for an UDFA? Sure. Did Huntley play well enough to vault himself into a starting spot on another team? Almost assuredly not.
And as far as I'm concerned, it's a moot point if he's the backup or not because the fact of the matter is there aren't 32 starting quality quarterbacks in the NFL. If your backup is starting for extended periods of time, you're in trouble no matter who your backup is 99% of the time.
