Brian Hoyer visiting Jets

I hope the team at least has a consensus on him. I don't much about him, but I know EJ and don't think very much of him!

[RevWarRifleman]

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!

Yup, typical EJ. You don't know which one will show up, the vs Jags EJ, or the vs Cincy EJ. I hope he plays more the Cincy EJ when, or if, he gets to play this year

You think EJ played well against Cincinnati? Wow. Aside from the five minute collapse, he played better against Jacksonville to be honest.

Hoyer is trash. Jets are talking to him

Hoyer is trash. Jets are talking to him

if he grows a beard it's just like having Fitz.

I hope they sign him. He is the very definition of mediocrity.

@caplannfl

Hoyer met with #Jets last night, also meeting with coaches today. Expect him to have a new team quickly (4-5 other teams interested).

[26CornerBlitz]

@caplannfl

#Jets remain interested, but Hoyer will still take visit with the #Broncos, source said.

[Homey D. Clown]

Not by much.

 

 

any amount is enough to make the change in my book

[YoloinOhio]

Bears, eh?

 

@jasonlacanfora

On the Brian Hoyer front, will visit DEN as @AdamCaplan reported. If he doesn't sign there, expect him to a Bear by end of week

[Helpmenow]

Pass on him.

[BobbyC81]

Solid back-up but someone would likely offer him more than we can.

 

The best way to ensure that EJ starts no games for the Bills is to get rid of him, ASAP.

 

Yes, I remember when Gailey replaced Trent Edwards with Fitz. and then he said the Bills cut Edwards because he didn't want to ever have to go back to him.

[jester43]

Dude look at his numbers last year. You really think EJ Manuel has that season in any universe? I wouldn't want him as my starter but he is a top 30 QB on planet Earth. He will be brought in to compete for a starting job somewhere and probably end up as a starter this season. You heard it here.

Of course you're right.

@caplannfl

QB Brian Hoyer now has at least 6 teams interested in him. He's still on his visit with the #Broncos. Met with coaches last night.

@JamesPalmerTV

"We had a good visit, but nothing to report there." John Elway on Brian Hoyer. Hoyer has another visit wt some1 else

@AllbrightNFL

Hoyer will now visit with the #Bears who have "significant interest" in him.

[YoloinOhio]
