Patriots bring back Brian Hoyer

[gmf1369]

After losing Tom Brady, the Patriots are signing a quarterback who is slightly less accomplished.

Brian Hoyer has reached an agreement to sign with the Patriots, Jim McBride of the Boston Globe reports.

Hoyer is a familiar face in New England: He initially entered the NFL as an undrafted rookie with the Patriots in 2009, stayed there three years, and then returned in 2017 and 2018. He never started a game for the Patriots.

Last season Hoyer started one game for the Colts, who cut him yesterday after signing Philip Rivers.

The Patriots now have three quarterbacks on their roster: Hoyer, Jarrett Stidham and Cody Kessler. It’s anyone’s guess who else Bill Belichick plans to bring in, and who the first Patriot to start a game at quarterback in the post-Brady era will be.

So he really is finally going to be Tom Brady's successor.

Hilarious.

why do I think he will lose to Stidham or Jordan Love (there is a significant love for this prospect), then he will retire...

I think they will end up starting Stidham. He will show some talent, but he'll be in an impossible spot. Succeeding Tom Brady?

And with all the dead money, the guys who have left, and the lack of offensive weapons, they are going to take a step back. Not enough to earn a top pick, but a regression to the mean.

maybe they want to go back into the well and with the 199th pick in the 6th round take another Michigan QB this time Shea Patterson...
