The last time we saw Hoyer was the covid game against K.C. and he screwed up big and got pulled. Many of us thought he was done.
We assume Hoyer will be an offensive coach for the Patriots in the near future but for now he's still their quarterback. And the circumstances surrounding this opertunuty for the quarterback is different.
The talent is better than it was in 2020 and he has more time to prepare. The downside is the coaching staff is worse and the OC is a rookie offensive coordinator.
If the Patriots run the offense they ran versus the Dolphins week one, they'll be fine. They probably won't win but as long as they don't make mistakes and turn the ball over, the team can hope the defense can hold and give them a chance.
I like Hoyer. I think with all he's done for this franchise that he's earned at least one more start. If the game goes south, let Zappe get some playing time in the second half just like they did with Stidham.
If the Patriots had their 2021 staff, I would be interested in Blake Bortles on a veteran minimum. However, this is 2022 and the only quarterback I would want to see brought in if any is Ryan Fitzpatrick. He's a better version of Hoyer. All the rest of the decent game managers are on teams.
And for the fans that want quarterbacks that are washed up, I'd rather have Eli over the names being thrown around. Unless you either wanna run the ball on every down or throw Hail Marys,, the quarterback y'all want makes no sense.
