And that's fine. Shove today's stats down my throat all you want, I won't argue that point now.
But I was referring to his stats going into yesterday and dwelling on the previous argument where many called him average when his stats at that time said otherwise.
Call him average all you want now. The stats will back you up. I'm simply saying I think he bounces back.
Actually, the stats have him as below average now. But that actually wasn't my main point.
My main point pertained specifically to accuracy. In response to the "five good games" point, I said that there were problems with Hoyer's accuracy even in those 5 games. Even before this game, his completion % was 60.4, which would put him at 28th.
I just don't think you can be successful long term in this league with a QB who is in the bottom 5 in completion %. So for me, I'd need to see more than just a "bounce back" to having the 28th best completion % in the league.
And just to reiterate something I said upthread, I am not in favor of benching him in favor of Manziel at this point, so that's not what this is about. It's about evaluating Hoyer on the same grading scale as everyone else instead of on the "Shitty Cleveland Quarterback Curve."
