Hoyer.
Did not make obviously bad decisions.
Good athleticism.
Strong enough arm.
Ran the standard Pats offense. A big deal. Not having to drasticly change the O for the backup is key.
I think he needs work experience recognizing blitz and other schemes, but that's only to be expected.
Personally I'm somewhat astounded that a rook could look this poised. Obviously BB did something right this season. (Although as BB would say, if we knew he'd be that good we woulda drafted him)
Agree Pissah. It's easy to nitpick some faulty plays with any QB. But for a rook coming in cold against a fired-up defense, I thought he was outstanding. I wondered why BB didn't find a veteran backup, but the kid justified the team's confidence in him. And as has been said here, he's a terrific bargain. Its too early to compare him with Cassel, but I like what I've seen so far.
