Hoyer is going to play for somebody this season. He might be waiting things out like Fitzpatrick did last off season to find the best opportunity for playing time.

Tier three
17. Jameis Winston, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 71.8
Winston lived up to his boom-or-bust reputation, finishing seventh in big-time throw (BTT) percentage at 6.02 percent, but sixth in turnover-worthy play (TWP) percentage, at 5.09 percent.
18. Blake Bortles, Jacksonville Jaguars, 69.7
Bortles took big strides in his second year, taking advantage of downfield playmakers to lead the league with 1,330 yards on deep passes. Similar to Winston, Bortles was boom-or-bust, with 35 BTTs and a league-high 38 TWPs.
19. Ryan Tannehill, Miami Dolphins, 73.4
A disappointing fourth-year for Tannehill, who posted the lowest grade of his career and finished with the 13th-highest percentage of turnover-worthy throws, at 4.00 percent.
20. Brock Osweiler, Denver Broncos, 71.3
Osweiler had some positive moments in his first extended action as a starter, finishing right in the middle in accuracy percentage, at 73.4 percent (18th of 37 qualifiers).
21. Brian Hoyer, Houston Texans, 70.6
After settling in as the Texans’ starter, Hoyer put together a few strong games, though he finished 30th in accuracy percentage, at 70.5 percent.
22. Alex Smith, Kansas City Chiefs, 70.2
It’s the same story for Smith, who does a nice job of taking care of the ball (fifth-lowest turnover-worthy play percentage, at 2.47 percent) but 24 QBs had more than his 17 big-time throws.
23. Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions, 69.8
Split the season in half, and you get two different stories. Second-half Stafford was one of the league’s best, but he ranked dead last among QBs for the first eight games of the year.
24. Eli Manning, New York Giants, 67.5
Manning had his moments, but overall, he received good interception luck (fourth-most TWPs at 30, only 14 interceptions) and incredible play from Odell Beckham Jr. certainly helped his cause.
25. Ryan Fitzpatrick, New York Jets, 59.6
It was a very similar season for Fitzpatrick, who put the ball in harm’s way quite a bit (32 TWPs), but finished with only 15 interceptions. He did a fine job making plays as a scrambler, finishing with a
92.6 grade on the ground.
26. Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens, 68.5
It was not a great start to the season for Flacco before getting hurt in Week 11. His grade when pressured was the fifth-worst in the league.
27. Marcus Mariota, Tennessee Titans, 64.5
There’s a lot to like about Mariota’s skillset and using his quick release and athleticism in the NFL, but he has to improve his downfield accuracy percentage (20.4 percent, ranked last in the league).
28. Josh McCown, Cleveland Browns, 64.3
McCown performed well in challenging areas, such as under pressure and on third down, but he also made a number of questionable decisions along the way, finishing 10th in TWP percentage, at 4.51 percent.
...Johnny Manziel finished second to last in the article, RG3 failed to place.
