all the love for Hoyer?
-
who cares about how many completions a guy has....does he make plays when he has to? thats what wins games. this aint a dink an dunk offense, with high completion raes...its about making big plays downfield off playaction, and hoyer's been the best in the league at that

Hey, we are winning and winning is the most important thing. But, all I hear about is how Hoyer is playing at such a high level and everything. But according to NFL stats, his completion percentage is one of the lowest in the league 60.3%. Now, he has taken care of the ball, only 1 INT, which is great. But only 7 TD passes, again one of the lowest in the league. I'm not trying to bash the guy, but I am just saying his stats do NOT equal all the praise that he seems to be getting. Actually the offense would probably be more productive with a guy that throws 12-13 TDs and 3-4 INTs..

The praise isn't for his stats. It's for his play. Similarly, his stats aren't low because of inefficiency but rather a lack of opportunity.
Cleveland is first in rush percentage, first in rushing touchdowns, and third in rushing yards. That's why Hoyer only has 7 passing TD's. He's not getting the opportunity because we are focused heavily on the run game.
Granted, his completion percentage has been slipping over the past two weeks, especially against Pittsburgh. However, before last week's game, Hoyer was ranked 19th in the league, ahead of the likes of Brady and Newton.
To contradict your point about Hoyer being a detriment to Cleveland's offensive production, Football Outsiders actually calculates a quarterback's DYAR (Defense-Adjusted Yards Above Replacement) and DVOA (Defense-Adjusted Value Over Average). According to them, Hoyer has performed 18% better, per play, than the average quarterback and has gotten 291 yards (58.2 per game) more than a replacement quarterback. In both categories, he's top-10.

No thanks.

HAHAHAHA That's a good one Walter. You wouldn't happen to be a retired postal worker would you?

Hoyer is an above average QB. When was the last time we saw that Brownie?

all of your points are well taken... at least the NON rant points. I was just asking opinions. I am just a big stat guy, especially on % because that shows consistency over the long haul. His low % has just been a concern, hopefully the run game will continue to be strong.

60% is a pretty standard average and not anything to worry about.
And a "big stat guy" would know that. Consideriing only 15 have retired with a higher average and guys like Marino, Kelly, Moon and Fouts all finished with lower %'s, Id say it's a decent avg.
Plus, it's early enough in the season, that one game really effects the numbers and isn't a good reflection of "consistency over the long haul". Last week he was 66%. Next week, who knows? So, you speak of consistency "over the long haul", but base opinion on "short haul" numbers??? (again, a "stat guy" would know better).

It's called a balanced attack.....We are #5 in scoring and #1 in rushing touchdowns....Thats what you want. ....Who would worry about that?.....
Your last line basically says an unbalanced attack would be more productive than a balanced attack...... So are you saying 4 rushing touchdowns and 12 passing touchdowns would be better than 8 and 8 ? And a few more interceptions would make Hoyer better?
Completely clueless....

Russell Wilson was 63.1% last year, and he won the Super Bowl.
Hoyer is at 60.4% following a very inaccurate day.
Does 2.7% make that much of a difference?
More importantly, he is getting us the much-needed "W," and is making very few mistakes with the football. I'm ready for this D to come to life following a good game against Rapistburger... Run the rock, Smart QB play, and Steady D... wins every time...

^Quarterbacks playing better than their stats.
Hoyer is the second one mentioned.
We have a QB with a 99.5 rating and a winning record ... after 15 years in the desert, just wake up every morning and say "Thank you, Jesus, Thank you, Jesus!"

This a a running team. Aren't we like 29 or 30th in pass attempts? Stick your stats where the sun don't shine.

Hoyers shortest completion on Sunday was 17 yards or so I think. Guys looking down field and is usually making the right decision. No reason to complain.

Welcome to the past eight years of Joe Flacco with the ravens.

If our defense plays worth a shit at Pitt and vs. Balt, we're 5-0 right now. That's with a half-healthy Jordan Cameron (making Andrew Hawkins the best receiver) and Ben Tate being out for 3 games.
Part of all the crap last year (and since 1999) is having Brandon Weeden, Jason Campbell, etc. throw 50 passes a game (only 2-3 INTs was a miracle considering). Whether it's Hoyer or Manziel, we have a way better chance with 8/17/217, 1 TD/0 INT. Our turnover ratio is +3 and could be better if the defense was living up to its billing.
