What Brian Hoyer has in experience and familiarity cannot be discounted. The veteran quarterback is attune to the McDaniels Method and his addition to the Las Vegs Raiders roster seen as inevitable after the New England Patriots released the 15-year veteran.
In fact, Hoyer has three different stints with the Patriots under his belt, the latter two with Josh McDaniels as the architect of the New England offense. So it’s only fitting Hoyer and McDaniels are reunited in Las Vegas. And thus it’s no surprise that Hoyer is the leading candidate for QB2 — for now.
