fansince88 Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Hoyer easily > EJ. He'd be a solid back up. If we had any cap space at all he'd be a good pick up. The Jets will have him in for a look if for nothing else but to motivate Fitz.If they were smart they would bring him in to start ahead of there draft pick this year. Geno is not that guy
RevWarRifleman Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Pick him up! Pick him up, Buffalo! Here's our back up.
Luxy312 Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 i said "Jets or Broncos"... Where did you get "let's sign him"? Wasn't addressed to you. You should know that, lol. Others in thread were saying "sign him as backup, blah blah blah". Standard idiocy.

Standard idiocy. ok - thought you were referring to the OP. I certainly don't want him. Figured a QB desperate team will, though., Edited April 18, 2016 by YoloinOhio

What else is out there balanced against who we have as our back up? EJ is still learning coverages, as well as other things. Hoyer has seen more coverages & is more used to the speed of the game. But if you know somebody else that's out there, I'm listening..

But if you know somebody else that's out there, I'm listening..imo he would want too much $$ for a backup (at least here) and isn't good enough to be a starter (and we don't need one)...
Beef Jerky Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 No you draft a QB... You don't go out and grab some guy we already know isn't really a starter.
Protocal69 Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 i have no idea if it would make sense money wise but he's an upgrade over EJ No he is not.
Protocal69 Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Anybody who thinks Hoyer is better than E.J is delusional at best. People look at 0-2 year and a loss to the Jags. Fair. What I saw was a QB who finally stepping up in the pocket and making plays with his arm and feet. . Verses the Bengals the score was 14-17 at the half. EJ threw a money TD pass to Watkins on the run. The Tight Ends that game saw more passes that game than the did almost at any other point in the season. No Watkins in the 2nd half and the defense lost that game. That was verse a playoff team as well. Verses the Jags. EJ shitted the bed and then came back like a solider like you want your QB to do by putting up 27 pts for the game. Would have been 34pts if not for a Mccoy fumble near the endzone which would have won the game going away So yes the record was 0-2 but he was not the reason we didn't make the playoffs. Does he still need some work. Yes but I am more than comfortable with him being the backup this upcoming year! Edited April 18, 2016 by Protocal69
3rdand12 Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 waste of time here if thinking Buffalo But some team might be forced to take him. Thank goodness it is not us
RevWarRifleman Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 imo he would want too much $$ for a backup (at least here) and isn't good enough to be a starter (and we don't need one)... I think you're probably right.
CardinalScotts Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 typical back up the more he plays the more he's exposed, but if you need a guy for a week or two he can do the job
billsfan89 Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 He will get a nice contract from a team looking for a backup QB or a QB competition. He showed some flashes last year and got some starts with Cleveland plus the league always seems to love Brady backups. Maybe the Jets kick the tires on him if he comes significantly cheaper than Fitz. Either way shocked that the Texans released him since they don't have a great backup to Brock (Tom Savage will slide into their current backup depth chart). But maybe Hoyer asked for a release, wanting a chance to start somewhere?
Dr.Sack Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Hoyer is better then Cassel. By a good amount. He actually looked pretty good against us this year, but then again most QBs outside of Ryan Fitzpatrick looked pretty good against our defense this year. Hoyer sucks and in his prime Cassel was a pro bowler. Now Hoyer is going to be 31 this year and has never been a pro bowler or remotely close. Hoyer is a garbage QB. Manuel is a cheap backup who is 26 and had been in the offense for a year. Would I like to see us draft a backup? Of course. Hoyer is a conservative call that does little for us long term.
Wayne Cubed Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Ian Rapoport @RapSheet Free agent QB Brian Hoyer is visiting the #Jets today, source said... As long as the Houston weather cooperates
YoloinOhio Posted April 19, 2016 Author Posted April 19, 2016 Ian Rapoport @RapSheet Free agent QB Brian Hoyer is visiting the #Jets today, source said... As long as the Houston weather cooperates im not even sure he would beat out Geno
ALF Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Until Jets create some cap space like trade Mo , Hoyer is about all they can afford . They can try and draft Lynch , maybe Cook. Fitz is too expensive if he wants $15M a year.
