DeShone Kizer hasn't been impressive in his time in the NFL, but the Green Bay Packers still have faith in him as their backup quarterback. At the NFL owners meeting, general manager Brian Gutekunst talked about how the team still believes in Kizer and third-string quarterback Tim Boyle.

“It’s really about the player and how you think you can help your football team,” Gutekunst said via Packers.com. “If that helps your football team and that’s the best avenue, then that’s the way you go. I think in a perfect world, you’d love to have a younger guy who you think has starting ability that you could develop behind the starter. It kind of depends where you’re at as a football team.”

Kizer was acquired in a trade last season after being a second-round pick of the Cleveland Browns in 2017. He started 15 games in 2017 and really struggled, throwing 11 touchdowns and 22 interceptions. Although the supporting cast around him was weak, the play on the field was still a big red flag.

Last year with the Packers he was the backup to Aaron Rodgers, and luckily Rodgers was able to stay on the field for most of the season. He appeared in three games while going 20-42 for 187 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions.

The hope for the Packers is that they can still develop Kizer to be the replacement for Rodgers once he retires, but that will still probably be a few years off, so Green Bay still has time to figure out what is next for the franchise.
