Stockton Shorts Discusses Brian Hoyer

Locked The Browns Board
411 61 13.1k
  • As I've said teams only play the run against the Browns. They don't care about Hoyer, he doesn't scare them so they load up against the run. You keep trying to tell me that this isn't the case. Thats your Hoyer love blinding you. Everyone else sees it. Grossi. Hammer. McManamon. Banner. Even bloggers that were once touting Hoyer Destroyer himself....

    Keep arguing against reality. Look at the stats below. I've told you all along, since day 1 that history would be kind to my words.

    http://dawgpoundnation.com/2014/11/18/browns-loss-to-texans-exposes-problems-that-were-there-all-along/

    The writing was on the wall for this melt down. The Texans didn’t do anything really different from the script on beating the Browns. They got up early, stuff the box against the run, forced Brian Hoyer to throw a lot of passes. They attacked the Browns defensive line with a high number of rushing attempts. If you can stick to that formula, you will beat the Browns 90% of the time.

    The numbers don’t lie. The Texans focused on taking the run away from the Browns early, and like most teams since Alex Mack went down, were successful. Crowell broke loose once for 35 yards, but overall only got 14 touches and 65 yards. Terrance West only got 5 carries for 12 yards, and Ben Tate only 2 carries for -9 yards. Granted, the run game wasn’t great, but the Browns only ran the ball a total of 21 times this game. They threw the ball 50 times. That means they had a 70/30 pass to run split.

    The problem is that Brian Hoyer is A.) Not a good enough quarterback to win football games without an effective running game, and B.) Not good enough to throw the ball 50 times in any game, ever. Hoyer set a franchise record for most in-completions in a game with 30, and 40% completion percentage. The thing is, this should not be a surprise. Hoyer has an NFL low season completion percentage at 55.7%. Hoyer is ranked 21st in total touchdown passes, 20th in Quarterback Rating and 22nd in QBR. He’s average at best over the course of a full season, and will not win games on his own. This is a reality the Browns are going to have to face.

    ........

    I’m not picking on any one player or coach here. The thing is, the Browns have had the same issues virtually all season. They’re ranked 30th against the run over 10 games. They’re starting quarterback is ranked dead last in accuracy, and gets noticably worse the more you ask him to throw. That’s not just guesswork. In games where Hoyer has thrown more than 40 passes, his completion percentage is 45.8%. In games where he’s thrown 30 or more passes, 51%. In the 4 games where Hoyer has thrown under 30 passes, his completion percentage skyrockets to a very respectable 65.59%. That would put Hoyer 9th among active quarterbacks on the season, if he held to that and the Browns kept him at 30 or fewer passes per game.

  • History!!! There it is! BOOM!

    That's what l'm talkin' about.

    I'm talking Gettysburg, I'm talking the Mayan muthafukkin' empire, and l'm talking about my main man, my main MENSA man, and his gobs and gobs and gobs of words about one dude.

    You think that's wierd? It's real fuckin' wierd. But you can't mess with history.

    History!!!

  • Can't quit can you Stockton?

  • well if we're going to be dumb and look at stats instead of a player's intangibles let's take a look at the advanced stats rankings

    Quarterbacks are ranked according to DYAR, or Defense-adjusted Yards Above Replacement. This gives the value of the quarterback 's performance compared to replacement level, adjusted for situation and opponent and then translated into yardage. DYAR (and its cousin, YAR, which isn't adjusted based on opponent) is further explained here.

    The other statistic given is DVOA, or Defense-adjusted Value Over Average. This number represents value, per play, over an average quarterback in the same game situations. The more positive the DVOA rating, the better the player's performance. Negative DVOA represents below-average offense. DVOA (and its cousin, VOA, which isn't adjusted based on opponent) is further explained here.

    back to reality... brian hoyer has all the intangibles and make up of a good - maybe great - quarterback. if you want to ignore that and look at stats out of context thats fine for you, your choice. let's see what hoyer does with mack and gordon next season

  • well that graph didnt turn out how i thought.....

  • jist of it: advanced stats say brian hoyer is the 8th best quarterback in the league... that graph turned out icky

  • Clarity.

    Amazing post.

    Brian Hoyer won't be the starting QB of the Cleveland Browns next year so you won't get a chance to see him with Mack and Gordon.

    Quarterbacks are ranked according to DYAR, or Defense-adjusted Yards Above Replacement. This gives the value of the quarterback 's performance compared to replacement level, adjusted for situation and opponent and then translated into yardage. DYAR (and its cousin, YAR, which isn't adjusted based on opponent) is further explained here.

    The other statistic given is DVOA, or Defense-adjusted Value Over Average. This number represents value, per play, over an average quarterback in the same game situations. The more positive the DVOA rating, the better the player's performance. Negative DVOA represents below-average offense. DVOA (and its cousin, VOA, which isn't adjusted based on opponent) is further explained here.

    back to reality... brian hoyer has all the intangibles and make up of a good - maybe great - quarterback. if you want to ignore that and look at stats out of context thats fine for you, your choice. let's see what hoyer does with mack and gordon next season

    well if we're going to be dumb and look at stats instead of a player's intangibles let's take a look at the advanced stats rankings

    Quarterbacks are ranked according to DYAR, or Defense-adjusted Yards Above Replacement. This gives the value of the quarterback 's performance compared to replacement level, adjusted for situation and opponent and then translated into yardage. DYAR (and its cousin, YAR, which isn't adjusted based on opponent) is further explained here.

    The other statistic given is DVOA, or Defense-adjusted Value Over Average. This number represents value, per play, over an average quarterback in the same game situations. The more positive the DVOA rating, the better the player's performance. Negative DVOA represents below-average offense. DVOA (and its cousin, VOA, which isn't adjusted based on opponent) is further explained here.

  • there it is re copy and pasted on my laptop ^ no manual configurations. still looks f'ed up tho

  • There's 40 players on that list, so even 13 is in the upper 3rd.

    What is your point here again?

    I'm kidding! Please don't rehash your point.

    will most definitely rise after 6 games with gordon back. i predict top 6-7 next season

    Well the fact that you have to scour the internet to find ONE measure that puts Hoyer in the top 3rd (when you include all QBs who have 100 passes as 13th isn't Top 3rd in current starting QBs) and even then you have to lie and say he's 8th while switching his name with Romo to make it look better and ignoring the main statistic highlighted in green on that page that puts Hoyer at 25th.....is pretty much my point.

    Thats how not good Hoyer is and how far you have to reach to try and argue against it.

    i reached absolutely nowhere. (btw, like i said it got all f'd up on my phone and i tried to manually shuffle it back into place, either way who cares) you were posting pointless stats and i did one quick 5 second google search for advanced, adjusted stats for a QB. brian hoyer has the intangibles and makeup of a good to maybe great quarterback.. stats are literally the enemy of sports because of all the autistic black and white Retards in this world. if you're so into stats, his stats will start to show as the offense rounds out into an actual offense capable of winning football games. stats for a quarterback do not stay consistent with different environments. example, matt cassel in new england and matt cassel elsewhere... matt flynn in green bay and matt flynn elsewhere. next year brian hoyer is going to light it up in your precious stat sheet

    You're talking to 2 different people here man. I'm just the guy pointing out what you pointed out in the first place. Gonna revoke that Mensa membership if you don't get your shit together.
