The "Inside Word" on the QB Search

Or maybe Hoyer becomes another Matt Hasselbeck

If we give up a 3rd rounder for Hoyer, I'm going to drop kick a mofo. Hell no.....lol What's the difference between Hoyer and Beck? Dude had a good pre-season so now he's the new Pineapple Jesus.

Well, the 3rd rounder is just my guess. I have no idea what he'll be tendered at. But considering what some guys like Whitehurst (for example) went through, 3rd rounder is not that much.

Plus. Hoyer hasn't failed in the regular season as Beck has. So, that's one advantage. The positive power of the unknown. Also, he's only 26 years old.

Well, Beck would look good in New England. Had Hoyer been in any of those games that Beck played and we'd be saying the same thing. He's garbage.

Funny thing about the NFL is it's such a copycat league. Last year the Packers won with Godgers, so all the buzz was about getting a demi-god at QB. Now this year with the Giants winning I'm feeling like we need to get a great supporting cast and a QB that can be elite in crunch time, even if he's average to above-average most of the time.

Better yet Hoyer could become another Matt Schuab. People should keep in mind that a lot of Schuabs value was built up in the preseason.


What I find semi-amusing though is people talk all the time about bringing in someone like Peyton Manning and having someone learn from him so they can have a chance to study one of the best in the game. What about sitting behind Tom Brady? Doesn't that count for something?

That's because Bill Belichick is the devil and that's how the Pats win games :FIREdevil

On a serious note, although I know injury is a factor but so far Cassell has done a better job in his first year compared to Kolb's first year. I think my problem with Hoyer is giving up picks once again. I'd rather give up picks to get Luck or RG3.
