Always liked Hoyer for how he came in and won the job from that 3rd round pick I forget. We tagged him, but then let him go for $$ reasons. More than any other Patriot I have followed his career. Very good QB mind and perfect player to backup Brady. If it is a playoff game and he has to come in, lot more experience than Jimmy G.
His biggest problem is he is small and gets hurt. 3 years as Brady's backup with potential to direct a team as talented as the Patriots. Good move on his part.
Trading with SF and getting Hoyer offsets the perceived lower value draft pick. No other trade had Hoyer coming back. All weighs in.
