"(3) Will veteran backup Brian Hoyer continue to excel in place of the injured Jay Cutler?
Since Cutler sustained a sprained right thumb in a Week 2 loss to the Eagles, Hoyer has become the first quarterback in Bears history to pass for at least 300 yards without an interception in three straight games."
I guess I don;t understand this. I am not a big fan of Hoyer, but I try to be objective. I don;t see how he has excelled. I guess you can have different definitions of excel. I think they are going by yardage. When I think of a QB excelling, my mind goes to a QB taking over or at least controlling or dominating a game. I have never seen Hoyer do that.
I have seen Jay put up lots of yards in the past only to lose the game on a key turnover. Yards no longer impress me unless they are in a dominant win. I want to see a QB lead the team to a win and win in a fashion that leaves no doubt that the QB contributed to the team winning. Sorry, but for me, I don;t see QB that is excelling. He is protecting the ball, playing conservative football, putting up yards and losing. I can deal with all of that except he needs to be winning. If he does not do that, then I don;t care.
We need a QB that can throw a long accurate ball to take advantage of the long threat WRs we have.
