I'd give up a 4th for him. But I'd definitely hate for the Redskins to fall into the trap of overpaying for someone else's qb backup. How many of those have been worth what they've been traded for lately?

He does have an unbelievable completion percentage this year.!!!

[diehardskin2982]

Only if they can get Hoyer for around the same price of Beck. This guy is an unproven player like Beck. Who knows how he will turn out on the feild.

Is there a chance that Browns pull what we did last year. Trade down with us to grab picks while we take RGIII?

Idk about hoyer and flynn eh

I certainly don't see why there would be any "buzz" about him. He hasn't done anything as a pro. I'm not sure if he's a UFA or a not, but if he isn't, I can't imagine his asking price would be anything more than a 6th rounder, if that.

Not at all. There are a lot of people in the league who think he has as much, if not more, potential as Flynn. And he'd come at a much cheaper price.

I'll take Flynn over Hoyer, based on production when he plays. I'll draft a QB before I sign for one in FA though.

Not defending him or vouching for him, but Hoyer hasn't really had the opportunities Flynn has had.

But look Hoyer is not being discussed to be brought in as the guy here. Neither is Josh Johnson or even Jimmy Clausen. Those are all essentially 2012 Rex/Beck replacements. Meaning backups...who may be pressed into starting duty.

I'm trying to get some more info...but it's been kind of like pulling teeth right now

I'm curious as to the level these QB discussions reach within the organization? are these just scouts just spitballing ideas or are these reports coming from meetings involving both shanahan and Allen?

This part of the draft process is so secret yet so interesting to me. I'm just trying to get an understanding of how it works.

At this stage, it's largely scouts and position coaches. With our season over the coordinators, head coach and management will start to dive into the process more thoroughly

ill ask this again...why do people think hoyer is anything? he was an unhyped prospect out of college who has hardly played in the nfl. why does anyone think he can be a starting qb? has he been warming the bench well or something? dont get it.

I don't know. I've hardly seen him play. Just reporting what I've heard.

I've been hearing his name since last years draft when Kiper and McShay (mostly Kiper) kept referring to him on the First Draft Podcast. So I guess I can believe it. Then again he (Kiper) spoke of Caleb Hanie with the same type of enthusiasm as Hoyer so take it with a grain of salt.

Hoyers buzz seems to have stemmed from his reputation in practice as well as strong preseason performances.
