No one expected Hoyer’s bum *** to throw deep. Just like no one expected Stidham to shine against the Niners. Hoyer likely looks absolutely horrendous against Chicago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are Hoyer looks like a washed up 38 year old who was average Qb during his best times in the NFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaiderX Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 O'Connell couldn't put up 20 against a depleted bottom 5 defense in LA. I'm not sure why hes the obvious choice to some. The riding it out with the young backup worked out with Stidham. Not sure it's time here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stidham was in his 3rd year and had previously appeared in 8 NFL games before that start against the 9ers. I don’t think that’s comparable to O'Connell, who was literally seeing his first NFL regular season action in Week 3. He made some mistakes (partly as a result of being hung out to dry with Mack), but also grew into things and didn’t look wildly out of his depth in that game. Against a team as bad as the Bears would have been an ideal way to evaluate/develop him further. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Hall has arguably outplayed him in the slot this season. The fact he's been out multiple weeks now and not missed in the lineup tell me he's been disappointing. I guess my disappointment is reserved for guys like Garoppolo and Wilson, I do have a lot of patience with guys like Hobbs as he’s clearly talented and committed but just struggling for consistency and keeps getting knocked up. Maybe it’s levels of disappointment, just a minor disappointment for me rather than a major letdown. 😂😂 Edited October 21, 2023 by Darbsk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it’s not about Hoyer necessarily though. I’d be thinking about O’Connell and if he’s ready. If he is, great but if he’s not quite ready then I’d rather start Hoyer even if he plays like a bum and make sure O’Connell starts at the right time. Long term thinking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely O’Connell would be in a better position to start now than he was v the Chargers? We’ve been told that Hoyer is dressed as #2 QB as he’s better coming into the game than the rookie, what happens if Hoyer gets hurt, what position does that leave AOC? Decision seems to be at odds with previous decisions. Baffling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decision seems to be at odds with previous decisions. Baffling. Yeh, he’d probably be better off now than earlier due to that learning experience, but maybe what the coaches saw and reviewed on tape means he’s got some things to tidy up and maybe they thought Hoyer would be best to start before O’Connell as other teams will haveO’Connells tape too and they see some issues there they can pray on. Last thing we want is him losing confidence or getting his progression knocked back. I simply don’t know, and as you’ve said, it’s strange they would list Hoyer as #2 previously and deviate from that once then say what they said. Sounds like trying to justify the decision to me but they may have been sincere. I know O’Connell did really well in pre season but I wouldn’t complain if they decided to bring him along slowly, if that is what’s best for him ultimately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
