Don't laugh, Brian Hoyer could very well be the guy the Bills are looking to add

I heard someone with ties to the Steelers mentioned that Hoyer, when asked to throw under 30 times a game, has a very good numbers. This is of course not really news in the industry. This morning I happen to caught Rex's interview with Mike and Mike on way to work; Greenie immediately said after the interview that if the Bills are indeed going to ground and pound route with a QB throw 20 times a game, then Hoyer would be their QB aquisition.

Hoyer will be cheap, made $1.25 million last year. No need to trade assets to get him since he will be an UFA.

I really believe #1 priority this offseason is fixing the running game. And I don't think they are going to rely on soon to be 28 year old Spiller and the oldest running back in NFL to be the main horses. O-Line and RB gets the top billing.

QB is important, but it is not an easy fix and I don't believe they are getting a franchise guy this off season. If any of the RGIII, Bradford, Cutler kind of talent gets to the market, they will jump on it for sure. Right now I expect a veteran brought in to be the starter. EJ as a backup. A developmental guy (a shot for Brady like miracle) to complete the QB roster.

Well, I went on record long ago that the Bills should bring in Hoyer.

i agree completely. I know some people here think that Aaron Rodgers type of QB's just fall out of the sky every year, but you're correct. This is probably something we will end up doing. or at least something similar to this

Not a reach at all. He or someone of his ilk will porbably be here, along with another FA or draft pick. Not a fan of the top rated QB's coming out in this draft. Someone picked in the middle/late rounds is probably just as capable.

I like the idea of using Peyton Manning in the same way. Let him play smart. Don't put too much on his shoulders. Fix the run game. Blow people away.

I like Hoyer. I'm a proponent of bringing him in and let him compete with EJ. Whoever wins the job we will have a decent backup.

Except Manning is and will want to be paid, or in team building phrases, command team resources like a guy who wins games for you.

It is possible the Bills could find a hidden gem in the middle rnds that would be as good as Hoyer.

I say sign Hoyer & if they identify a guy they think can do that, draft him as well.

Lets have some COMPETITION for QB this year!

The pickings are slim.

Roman may use Hoyer like he did Alex Smith in his 1st year as OC of the 9rs.

Game manager.

With this defense and our RB corp, that's all we need.

Hoyer and Orton are exactly the same.

People infuriated with Orton's performance should want no part of Hoyer.

Do you even watch football? Hoyer has a much stronger arm and is much much more mobile.

I think he's a slower and slightly less athletic version of Kaepernick.

That is even more peculiar.

It's like me saying Freddy Jackson is the Bills version of Darren Sproles. Hello???
