6 Things I Learned From Week 14 of the NFL Season

Brian Hoyer Should Be Benched

Since November 2nd, JJ Watt has more touchdown receptions than Brian Hoyer does passing touchdowns.

I'm not sure what Mike Pettine sees out of Hoyer. Over the team's last four games, Hoyer has one touchdown pass and eight interceptions, and his Passing NEP of -10.73 against a Vontae Davis-less Colts secondary brings his Passing NEP to a poor -15.48 over this stretch. That's a per-game average that you'd only find from the worst quarterbacks in the league.

Some are still behind Pettine in starting Hoyer over rookie Johnny Manziel, mostly due to the notion that Manziel "isn't ready". But I'd strongly argue that it doesn't matter -- Brian Hoyer's performance down the stretch this year has been just about the worst you could expect from a starting passer in the NFL.
