Brian Hoyer, QB

Whether or not Hoyer starts this year, he’ll play a pivotal role in this upcoming season. Obviously, if he wins the starting job everything will fall on him, and he’ll have to be the leader of this team. However, the more likely scenario is that Hoyer ends up as the backup.

As the veteran backup, he’ll be Stidham’s go-to guy. Hoyer needs to bestow any knowledge onto the starter and continue to teach him throughout the year. And, in practice, Hoyer will need to be the leader. He’s seen how this offense practices and what it takes to be a winning team. That mentality should be taught to the starter.
