Brain Hoyer---Jake's Replacement?

"...Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Jeff Davidson ran the workout for quarterback Brian Hoyer at Michigan State's pro day Wednesday..."

There's also this...

Hey, it's nice to dream and don't rule out the possibility of Hoyer landing with the Panthers. But don't read too much into who's at what workouts or what players make pre-draft visits to what teams. Everybody's watching workouts and going through the visiting process. It's all part of the routine.

Davidson as the front man for Hoyer's workout doesn't mean all that much. A lot of times, those things happen because a college coach knows a pro coach or all the coaches show up and somebody says, "All right, who wants to run this workout?" and somebody volunteers. There's not a lot of rhyme or reason in these things.

There's some logic to it though. A second day pick with the kind of profile the Panthers like. He also lacks major hype so might be "stashable" on the practice squad for a year or two.

I still think Moore is the future with McCown being a "bridge to the future" if you will,but maybe "Brain" could pick up where Basanez left off.

    • First, am I wrong? I looked back over all his posts here and I didn't see anything positive other than Shough. Second, pretty sure if you had read the post I was responding to, you would have seen CRA made poo personal as well . You just choose to address me instead of him. Not sure why?????
    • I wanted XL but I felt he should have been a 2nd rounder but I understand the logic trading up just to get the option. A safety net for your gamble.    Certainly disappointed with his receivers development but i like his down field blocking and I imagine that's what's keeping him on the field. 
    • Pretty sure it is a given Young lacks typical QB size and strength and he is here simply because his other attributes more than make up for it. My point is not to indicate anyone "settled" for him but rather to remind people that there have been plenty of big, strong QB's that have not lived up to expectations. Jamis Winston, Anthony Richardson, Trey Lance, JaMarcus Russel are a few examples. They all have the physical attributes coveted by teams and yet none have had sustained success in the NFL. And yes, there are QBs that do have both but there aren't many and some of the ones still playing were failures with their early teams. Saying Young is a bust simply based upon his size (and I do think it is as simple as that for a few guys around here) is unfair to both him and the team.
