Very good point ........ that could explain a major portion of why Hoyer looked like a more-than-adequate backup quarterback against the Steelers, and a guy who played like he barely belongs in the NFL against the Dolphins.

Resting a recently-injured Brissett against a team with a 1-7 record coming into the game is one thing ........ going so far as to not even have the quarterback that you plan on using in said game not playing with the first team in the practices leading up to that game is another.
