Tannenbaum Posits Hoyer as a Solution for Eagles.

[luuked]

why can't Stidham do it? There is little reason he can't. Dallas went 13-3 with a 4th round rookie in 2016 and Stidham looks terrific in the preseason and camp.

Stidham looked promising against 3rd stringers, running a vertical slice of our offense into the usual preseason defenses.

There is also no need to use hyperboles as so far performed above expectations but was neither terrific in the game nor consistently through the preseason or camp. If he were you'd not be able to escape the media hype but instead its mostly crickets.

Point is making him the backup is playing russian roulette with your season over the 53rd roster spot.

Also for every anectode you post about successful QBs there are at least 5 more that present the opposite.

 

[luuked]

Neither backup would be a long term solution.

As for short term, they got two games out of Brissett.

It's up to BB to determine if Stidham is as good as Jacoby, but if he is and the Eagles want to overpay, we could use a 3-4th rounder and the roster spot.

Hoyer is gone after this season anyway as he will get too expensive now that SF is not picking up the tab anymore.

For this season he is the ideal backup as he knows the entire offense and has necessary experience. Hopefully with a full season to learn and all the reps Stidham will be where he needs to be to do this next year.

I dont get why people are willing to risk an entire season over min-maxing one roster spot. We don't need that additional roster spot. It is a nice to have.

 

[luuked]

This is true. They would need to devise a tight game plan.

In the end with either, the Pats would be looking towards a defensive, field position, ball control game plan.

The fact that Hoyer could run a more complete offense would be negated if Stidham is a real future NFL starting QB.

With Hoyer you would get the full McDaniels offense. Nothing more defensive or less complete.

Obviously he would not run it as efficiently as Brady but thats why one is the GOAT and the other a backup.

With Hoyer the gameplan would still be dictated by the opponent whereas with Stidham it would be by what he can do at that point.

I just got up and maybe i need smelling salts, but this sounds like tampering.

There is a reason why Tannenbaum is unemployed

Tannenbaum is unemployed and not affiliated with a club

Stidham has been my binkie from this time last year. One of those very rare times that BB actually drafted someone that I wanted him to, so I am prejudiced to say the least.

Trading Hoyer saves us 3 mill in cap room, if we can get the fifth back from Philly (bennett) and let them keep the 7th, I will be thrilled! Let Stidham play this week against the titans and make the decision. Then I would move on

Thanks, and i do need the salts (by the way they really work) i thought he worked for the eagles org.

I don’t think any team can justify paying a back up 25 mil a year. And they aren’t going to trade Wentz. Dude wanted to start and I think they figured he earned that right after winning them a super bowl.

Similar situation to what we had when Jimmy G came up for renewal. You just can't pay two starting QBs in the salary cap era. It takes up too much room on your cap.

I think everyone on the board would be interested in getting a decent pick and recoup cap space by trading Hoyer. The risk is leaving the backup QB spot to an untested, unproven rookie.

I really liked what I saw out of Stidman but elevating him to QB2 his rookie year might be asking too much of him.

With that said, BB did it in 2014 with 37 year old TB12 and rookie Jimmy G

SF cut Hoyer and we signed him to a fresh three year deal, so I'm not sure what you mean.

I dont get why people are willing to risk an entire season over min-maxing one roster spot. We don't need that additional roster spot. It is a nice to have.

Like I stated, we don't know BB's assessment. Maybe BB will feel there is not a difference in risk, if he feels Stidham is picking up the offense and has starter NFL talent, something that Hoyer is not.

Plus there's the three million in cap savings, along with the pick and roster spot.

I'm not saying this is a definite move either way, but to eliminate the possibility just because Stidham is a rookie doesn't make sense to me. Will they win a Super Bowl long term with either? Can both hold the team together for four games?

I think the season is at risk without Tom Brady anyway. By the end of presseason he might feel there is at least as good a chance with Stidham as Hoyer.

Hoyer had guaranteed money with offset language from the 49ers, meaning we could just pay him the minimum for 2017 and 2018 and let the 49ers pay the rest. However, this doesn't apply for 2019, so his roughly $3 million salary should roughly represent market value.

Perfectly stated. I’ve been trying to explain this fact all day! Thank you @Wordsmyth!

 

[moosekill]

I don’t think he was ever a trash thrown in. We needed an experienced backup that we know can play in our system.

Oh I completely agree and was being sarcastic. I got tired of reading the quotes of many of the posters here, who complained about the trade, especially after Jimmy did well in his first few games, before he got hurt again. People treated Hoyer's inclusion as trash, which I found rather foolish.

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

Hoyer's biggest value to NE is as a scout team QB. He is a vet who has played in a lot of systems and can emulate the opposition very well.

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

Brady wanted Hoyer here do we really piss Tom off by making Stidham number 2 I dunno.
Also Hoyer was the architect of our defensive masterpiece in the superbowl and got Flores a head coaching job.
Now he more than likely would of earned one without it but that cemented it.

Um...... not sure what you are talking about.

 

[Clonamery]

I dunno.

Yup.

 

[Uptown]

Trade Hoyer
Keep Stud-arm

Which will further ignite Brady’s competitive fire; which in turn will enable Brady to play at an elite level for 5 more seasons.

Trade Stud-arm for a 1st/2nd
NE wins about 2-3 more SBs; possibly all 5
Problem solved

 

[moosekill]

Oh, the articles after the super bowl about Hoyer recognizing something with the Rams and telling the pats. I guess I kind of thought of those as a feel good story and didn't really give him credit for developing the entire defense. I have also always really questioned the supposed dislike between Brady and Jimmy G, as a media thing to generate clicks.
