Stat of the Week
Monday dawned with the Patriots having two quarterbacks from Big Ten arch-rivals on their roster. Tom Brady you know. Brian Hoyer you don't, probably. But they weren't very different coming out of college, as their college stat lines show:
Brady/Hoyer -- The College Years
Player Years School Combine Ht/Wt College starts Completion Pct. TD/INT
Brady 1996-99 Michigan 6-4/211 25 .623 35-19
Hoyer 2005-08 Michigan State 6-2/216 27 .558 35-23
Now, don't go saying, "King thinks Hoyer's the second coming of Tom Brady.'' I have no idea what Hoyer is. But the Patriots have never cared much about what the public thinks of their quarterback situation. They abandoned Drew Bledsoe for Brady, then in 2008 went on a playoff chase with Matt Cassel, who hadn't started at quarterback since high school.
