Brian Hoyer released by Texans

The Browns Board

  • Hoyers the kind of QB that needs some really smart WR's around him that run their routes "precisely"....cause he can't make up for their route deficiencies. Especially on deep balls cause he has to put more air under them than say a Rogers or someone like that. If the WR didn't run his route right that ball comes down with a lot of the opposing secondary nearby. Like Weedon, there's certain throws that Hoyer just can't make and opposing teams learn that and take those routes away daring them to beat them on the routes they don't throw well.

    ... and a ground game he can PA off. Needing both is the case with most "timing" QBs. Only way they can compensate for their lack of arm talent.

    Still plenty of teams that need QB depth out there. Brian is the kind of QB that could win a game or two while a starter recoups from an injury

    Pick him up. Trade Down. Draft Elliot. Championship.

    Haha. I've seen worse moves.

  • I thought this happened some time ago.

  • jets look like they might sign him just to fuck fitzpatrick.

    hoyer>fitzpatrick for the 2nd time in 2 years. HA!

  • He just didn't have enough weapons here, bring him back and we have a super bowl guaranteed!

    He sat behind Brady, he can sit behind RG III. Nah- we're not bringing him back- he sailed his ship to Houston, he's not in our rebuilding future plans.

    In all seriousness, he's just another example of the realization that we just as an organization have had shitty QB's. It wasn't because they didn't have a good line, great weapons or a dominant defense blah blah blah. These guys just sucked, went to objectively better teams and still sucked. You can go down the list and realize it's not just a trend.

  • Hoyer is basically a top tier backup in this league. Which means he'll keep getting tried out as a starter when he's on teams that have no starter.

    Not bad work for an udfa ... good for him.

    So, he's Josh McCown?

  • Yesterday I heard reasonable speculation he'll end up in Denver who only needs a game manager. And in 2015 BH completed 60% of his passes and had a 19/7 TD/INT ratio...

    Not bad...

    Did gag his first career playoff game badly, but it was his first career playoff game. Better QBs than he have shit down their leg their first time out in the playoffs.

    Carson Palmer comes to mind. Andy Dalton, too.

    I agree whole heartedly. Since Tim Couch I think that Hoyer is probably the only former Browns QB that actually started a postseason game (or maybe Garcia?). And does anyone think that Hoyer was the primary cog in the DATs playoff run? Hell no. Their defense was, and Hoyer only played half their games.

    That 4 Int. performance in their playoff game sure soured the DATs on Hoyer.

    So? Would you start Fitzpatrick or Hoyer if it were up to you?

    Would you start Hoyer or Sanchez?

    And what is happening to the Kaepernick to Denver trade possibility?

  • Fitz over Hoyer over Sanchez.

    Fitz's problem (actually the Jet's problem) is that he wants some of this money other low level starters are scarfing up.

    --Always sign guys for two years

    So? You think Denver should grab him?

    Or, do you think that Denver may be playing the game of starting a has been for a year, and hope they get their future QB either lower in the draft, or next year?

  • From 2 days ago, latest I found on Kaepernick:

    Apparently written before Hoyer release. He could be in their mix now.

  • Why is everyone so set on Tyrod leaving the Bills? He was good to very good last year. Not happening.

    They have a Super Bowl team. So find the best guy for 2016 and get him signed for two years. In my opinion that's Fitz. I think they could win with McCown or Hoyer too, but those guys are kinda fragile. Fitz will probably get you 16.
