  • From inactive to franchise saviour in week?

    Sure, why not,

    Throw us a fricking bone.

  • Apparently this call (Hoyer) caused the Vikes to go scrambling:

    The Minnesota Vikings spent Monday and Tuesday preparing for Cleveland Browns QB Jason Campbell after a thumb injury knocked starter Brandon Weeden out of Sunday’s game.

    However, the Browns sent the Vikings scrambling Wednesday with their announcement that the Brian Hoyer will be the starter Sunday at Mall of America Field.

    Trents' thoughts on Hoyer :

    While Hoyer hasn’t had much of a chance to impress the rest of the NFL, Browns running back Trent Richardson is convinced the Michigan State product will be a pleasant surprise for Cleveland fans and a bitter surprise for opponents.

    “I’m glad people have been sleeping on Hoyer so when he comes out to surprise people it will be a bigger shock to the world,” Richardson said.

    “He’s got a big arm. He’s got a real big arm. He makes smart decisions and he’s very precise on what he (does). When he calls audible or has to kill the play, he’s making smart calls. Hoyer is a smart dude.”

    So at least Hoyer is capable of Audibling, as there is still some question as to whether Weeden can Audible or not.

    there are no audibles in Norv's system...

  • ^ Well he can help with the line calls then... we need that for sure...

    I love that Hoyer got TR's endorsement... and then TR is traded... Priceless!

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

    Anywho... just watched Hoyer's locker room interview after he was given the "good news".

    Kid looked calm, cool and collected. Kinda liked the change from Wheezy's usual gosh-golly, semi-deer-in-the-headlights routine

  • Well, he was a St. Ignatius player (local high school team) so he is home grown. Give him a chance.

    We have no other choice!

    Hope he lights it up.

  • If the first move he has to make is ducking a D lineman and the recievers keep dropping good passes, then my prediction is....we're screwed again. May as well bring in Tebow. Maybe prayer can overcome Lombardi and Banner

    I've got to tell you I think you're overreacting a bit. If anything I like banner and Lombardi more now. Theyre not scared to shake it up. Face it. Weeden and Richardson were going nowhere.

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

  • I like the move to Hoyer. We know what we have in Campbell....a back-up QB. Hoyer is a local kid with no real history as a starter. I say start him and see. Who knows, maybe he finds his groove and we won't need to use a pick on a QB in the next draft. It would be wonderful if we didn't. With all the picks we have we could address a lot of holes.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.
