Hoge (WGN):brian-hoyer-is-a-good-backup-quarterback-thats-it

Hoyer has looked better because

A) he played a terrible defense this week who couldn't stop the run and he had all day to throw most dropbacks and

B) he racked up garbage yards in Dallas (against another crap defense) after the game was over.  Did we score ANY points with Hoyer at the helm before the game was decided?

Cutler was under siege the 2nd half of week 1 (he played well when the pass pro was decent in the first half) and all of week 2.  We were all talking about how the playcalling was terrible, the run game was non-existent, and the OL was a sieve.  I'd like to see an apples-to-apples comparison in QBs.  

Cutler is the better QB if all else is equal IMO.  Yes, I know that isn't saying much because JC is nothing special either.

And there in lies the problem, and why it really doesn't matter. Hoyer is nothing special, but he's safe w/the ball. Cutler can probably produce as much if not better, but he'll turn the ball over which will neutralize the extra points. It's a damned if you do damned if you don't situation.

I have to believe that Pace has mentally moved on from Cutler and is quietly researching his options for a new starter in 2017.  I certainly hope Hoyer isn't anything but a Plan B for next season.

BH has been safe with the ball thus far I agree.  We have also seen games from him where he hasn't been.  We shall see the next few weeks...

That right there is his M.O.
