Brian Hoyer benched heading into Week 7 for 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers have benched veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer in favor of rookie 3rd round rookie quarterback C.J. Beathard heading into Week 7.
What It Means:
Hoyer has done very little as the starter through the first six weeks. After an 0-6 start to the season and Beathard looking good in relief of Hoyer in Week 6, the veteran has been benched.
Through six games, Hoyer was 119-for-205 (58.0%) with 1,245 yards, 4 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. Out of the seven quarterbacks with at least 200 pass attempts in 2017, Hoyer's -0.07 Net Expected Points per Pass attempt was easily the worst.
