Looking over Hoyer's lifetime stats I don't know that I'd call him "horrible". With exception of the 2015 regular season he's been no more than pedestrian and very average although in prior stops in AZ and Cleveland he played on some pretty horrible teams. Overall we should be no worse off than we were with McCown before he pulled off those miracle stats in 2013. Prior to that he was certainly no better than Hoyer as far as a prospect for a #2 QB spot.We have lots of spare CBs with little or no experience so one or two of them need to step up and prove they're ready to start. My guess is Fuller will be out longer than currently advertised. Cromartie is off the market now but Keenan Lewis is another injury prone vet recently cut by NOLA whose looking to a team to give him a shot. Pace may or may not kick his tires. Let's face it. Without a better pass rush it won't make any difference whose playing CB.
IMHO we have ample depth and talent at both WR and TE. The only real question now is whose gonna step up and own those backup spots and how many of each will we keep?
Throwing shit at a wall can work, but probably not the best way to do it if you are wanting to make a playoff run. And it sounds like another one of those young CB's is dinged up.
I've never seen Hoyer as being any more than a Josh McCown level guy whose basically a career #2 who you hope can at least keep you in contention for a game or two if your starter is out. If you have to use him more than that I think you'll be very lucky to win more than half those game if that.
