Belichick Is Manipulating The Rules Again.

Even before the 2020 season ended, I was calling for Brian Hoyer to be the next quarterback coach of the Patriots. Hoyer and the Patriots had other things in mind or did they?

Hoyer was thought to of gonna sign with either Miami or New York, both AFC East rivals. However, instead he returned to New England as a quarterback.

With the Patriots having a full ninety man roster, it helps with practice to have four quarterbacks. The 90 man roster can get split into two groups. Having Hoyer means one quarterback doesn't have to go back and forth to burn their arm out in practice.

Another thing to consider is Hoyer is getting paid more as a player but at the same time, can meet more with Mac Jones. Something he would be limited in, if he had stepped into a coaching role. Thanks to the over paid veterans, the CBA hurts development of the younger players. 

At the moment the Hoyer signing is Bill Belichick maneuvering the gray area of the rules. There is nothing but speculation as to what Hoyer means for Newton and Stidham. Hoyer may or may not make the roster but the same can be said for the other two veteran quarterbacks. 

As for now, take the Hoyer signing for what it is. Belichick manipulating the rules again because he can, to get an advantage. The late Al Davis once said "Just Win Baby" and the Patriots are known for "Do your job!" Well Bill is doing both mottos. Let's see how much of an edge Mac Jones can get come the preseason.
