Why Do Some People Hype Up Hoyer?

  • Yeah, some people have this notion that Tajh is a runner because he's black and built like a RB. He's a passer, not really that blazing fast. Mariota and Hundley are both faster.

    Tajh has a huge arm, quick release, and is a quality kid regarded as a locker room plus. I think when the dust clears, he'll be right up there in the top 10.

    Also because he runs? Ran at least 5 times in the half I watched him this past weekend... and they were designed runs...

    Then again a look at his run stats says he not a good runner...

    Just struck me thay he's McNabb-ish...

    But you are right... he's not that fast...

    ========================================

    Oh and back on topic...

    How many does Hoyer have to win before it's no longer "hype"???

  • Hoyer might not be the answer.

    But as of today he's way better than BW.

    All the way from Torino to Cleveland: GO BROWNS!!!!!!!

  • Dude has 3 NFL starts and has 2 wins. Let's give the kid, oh I don't know, 5 games before we say he isn't the answer.

  • What I really like about Hoyer is he doesn't get flustered. He keeps coming back and doing his job when it counts.

  • Blah blah blah. Here we go Brownies here we go!

  • Hey hopefully the kid keeps building on his skills everyweek and then come the draft we can spend our 2 first rounders on something other than a Qb.

    And maybe we can start filling holes and adding depth for once.

    (fingers crossed)

  • Hoyer had a QB Rating of 103.9 for this game.

    Can't complain about that.

    I did not say he is not the answer. I said that he might not be the answer, and that is exactly for the same reason you say give him time and we'll see.

    I agree.

    But let's give him, oh I don't know, 5 games before we say that he is.

    He looked solid today yet again. Fewer mistakes. Clean throws. Quick release. It did seem like was hanging on to the ball a little longer in the second and third quarters but I'm going to have to go back and watch it to see why.

    All in all, he's not a world beater (yet?) but he's no schlub. I can see why Lombardi likes him, but I still fail to see why he hadn't landed a starting gig until this point. He was unemployed for a bulk of the NFL season last year and the Cardinals then chose to keep Lindley instead of him.

    I hope everyone else just has missed the boat on Hoyer, but he may be exactly what we need at this point...a smart game manager with enough arm and experience in the NFL. Our defense is finally becoming what we have been wishing for over the last 12 years and our playcalling is exciting and far from conservative.

    This could be a fun year.

    thank you. thank you. thank you.

    how about oh let's say fixing the fucking OL and adding depth if not another starting CB across from haden (even though skrine did play well today) in the defensive back field. oh and sammy watkins would be nice.

    no particular order.

  • Hoyer is 2-0 with 2 totally man-up, sack-up fourth quarter drives. So far, the guy's his best on third downs and in the fourth quarter.
