    It's self explanatory to anyone that knows what they are seeing when watching football. I understand that's not exactly the entirety of my audience, but I can't help you guys....you really should pick up a different sport to follow.

    What does Mallett do that's better than Hoyer?

    I know for a fact that Hoyer is more accurate on passes 15 yards and in…what does Mallett bring to the table?

    Mallett gets the ball out quicker, Hoyer is a sack waiting to happen. It's a huge hit to the offense when QB's take sack after sack even if they aren't fumbling the ball away like Hoyer did in the KC game.

    Hoyer throws picks due to bad decisions and his noodle arm, for Mallett it's been deflected passes only. Also, overall Mallett is the more accurate QB, he's just had to deal with more drops than any other QB in the NFL this season. Now you can blame that on his arm or whatever, but there's no excuse in WR's dropping that many passes that hit them in the hands no matter how hard they are thrown. They have one job. 10 drops in 3 games is just insane.

    That's the lamest defense of a QB I've ever seen.

    Mallet is not more accurate than Hoyer. That is factually wrong.

    Look, stop pretending you know something on this forum.

    You can go to other forums and try this schtick.

    But everyone here has long ago realized you're clueless and is laughing at you.

    So no need to do all this work to keep up appearances.

    Seriously, no one expects you to be able to follow along, you don't have to keep telling everyone about it. The assumption is that you'll fail to understand what's being said in a football conversation.

    Except, now, both QBs are crap and the team isn't going anywhere with either one, so it really doesn't even matter.

    Don't jump the gun kiddo, his two starts were against 2 of the worst teams in the NFL and he's padded his stats in garbage time against Atlanta and arguably the weakest secondary in the NFL in Indy.

    Let's see how things look at the end of the season.

    Carolina and Indianapolis were winnable games if Mallet didn't play

    Are you rooting for him to suck? Honestly can't stand "fans" who would rather be right in an argument then see our players succeed. Did it hurt you inside every time Hoyer threw a touchdown?

    Don't jump the gun guys. If you can watch the games and not realize that Mallett is considerably better than Hoyer, then I can't help you. You might as well be asking me what makes me think that 1+1=2.....I mean, it's obvious.

    I still ask the question I've been asking since July. So why let go of Fitzpatrick?

    Fitz + Hoyer > Hoyer + Mallet
    Fitz + Mallett > Hoyer + Mallet

    I don't think Hoyer and Fitz would have signed for the same team. They went to places they would probably start.

    As far as Fitz vs Hoyer, they are pretty similar. Fitz was coming off a broken leg and Hoyer is slightly younger
