This thread is interesting.
The pro-Hoyer crowd is making him out to be THE reason for the Browns success and top-10 QB in the NFL.
The rest are basically saying he's a product of the system and he's still missing easy throws.
It's funny because both sides of the debate are kinda right-- Hoyer is playing better than any QB we've had since DA's Pro Bowl year. He's 2-2 this year, 4-2 overall as a Brown and has already led the team to two game winning drives this year. He's getting the ball out quickly, not forcing passes into tight spaces and seeing the entire field. His Total QBR is 8th in the NFL despite having an unheralded group of receivers with Cameron banged up and Gordon suspended.
Despite playing well, he's not a Top-8 QB, PFF has him probably more accurately rated at 19th. He's been efficient and getting the ball out quick but he has missed some easy throws, 2-3 a game, that a starting QB should easily make-- that doesn't mean he needs to be perfect but he has sailed a few. Shanahan's system is doing a very good job getting these vastly underrated receivers into space, allowing Hoyer to throw the ball all over the yard because the run support is keeping defenders in the box. We do have the best offensive line in the NFL and that's probably the biggest reason for our offensive success.
I see both sides, I really do. I like Hoyer, he's clearly the best option for the Browns at this point and having rare (for the Browns) success. Is he the sole reason for the Browns offensive success as some suggest? Hell no. Can we possibly upgrade in the future from this current-day version of Hoyer? Yeah, probably.
