Brian Hoyer

  • 31-years-old
  • 6-foot-3, 215 pounds

Last 16 starts (with the Chicago Bears, Houston Texans, and Cleveland Browns):

  • 61.4 completion percentage, 3,757 passing yards
  • 21 touchdowns, 10 interceptions

Being that he is the most talented of the crop of potential backup quarterbacks available in free agency this year (not a title anyone should want to hold), there is still a good chance that Hoyer may want to try and join a team where he has an opportunity to start. Minnesota is not the destination for him if that ends up being the case.

Hoyer has played pretty well over the last three seasons in terms of his statistics. However, he has only been able to lead his team to six wins in his last 16 starts under center.

Of course that record also has a lot to do with the teams in which he was playing for, but he has to be held accountable for having a part in some of those losses.
