unfortunately, hoyer reminds me of sanchez.
Wow - I sure didn't remember Brian Sipe winning the MVP - he's not a comparison I would have thought of, but probably the closest of that MVP group.
For now I think this but I think he
has a higher ceiling ... who knows right now.
How many agree with the eerie seemingly effortless similarities between Brian Sipe and Brian Hoyer? How many would agree with Montana?
While I made the suggestion (and let me take this opportunity to thank all the little posters), I actually think the better comparison is between Sipe and Montana - Sipe being a somewhat shorter, not-as-good version of Montana. Hoyer has a different, stockier build, different way of moving, different delivery. I also think his arm should not be characterized as "good" by NFL standards - I can't think of an NFL starter who doesn't have a stronger arm than he does - though, thankfully, Hoyer's arm is stronger than that idol of my younger years, Matt "the god" Cavanaugh. And other than his arm, I like just about everything about his game.
Penny, Orton, and Sanchez and maybe McNabb don't have Hoyer's arm. Penny has the equal in accuracy, as does Orton, but Sanchez is scattershot, by comparison. Anyone who wants to question Hoyers arm merely needs to watch the seam route TD throw to Gronkowski. He needed to rifle it and he did, yet still kept the accuracy. Most of the time he would rather throw a touch pass releasing it just a moment sooner, as it is easier to catch, and ensure a completion.
Easy, almost effortless, passing is similar in Hoyer and Sipes' passing style.
He reminds me of Rohan Davey.... Sure, the mechanics are a little off, as is the pocket presence, grasp of the playbook, and just about any other facet of their "on-field" skills.
Still........ I just get that sense.
Perhaps it's because Rohan was that last guy to hold TFB's clipboard when he hoisted the Lombardi.
Hoyer reminds me of Brad Johnson.
He doesn't have a great arm or athleticism, but he is accurate, moves well in the pocket, makes good decisions, and is a solid leader.
Will he consistently make the necessary tough throws into heavy coverage to convert on 3rd and 12 that the great QBs make? probably not.
Will he "win" you a Super Bowl? no. But he could certainly be a Super Bowl-winning QB on a very good team.
If Brady were to go down for 2-4 games, I'd feel comfortable that Hoyer would keep the ship afloat.
Isn't The Sanchize supposed to have a cannon arm? Or is that Stafford?
Heh! Will I sound like a COMPLETE sphincter if I say the Sipe comparison was obvious?
I mean that as a COMPLIMENT, by the way, to the FootBall acumen of you ~ which FAR outstrips my own, I don't at all mind admitting ~ and your friends.

Can I persuade you to comment on a Brian Hoyer ~ Phil Simms comparison? Similarities, Differences...Projection??
My favorite thing about Hoyer ~ who is the ONLY back up QB I've been excited about in the Imperial Era ~ is that he is an HOCKEY PLAYER: Absolute SCRAPPER of a FootBall player. Balls of STEEL.
