"I've really dedicated myself to learning the offense and establishing myself as a leader," Hoyer says in this interview. "There are really three steps in the learning process. First, I've tried to immerse myself in the playbook. Second, I've tried to spend as much time as I can reviewing film and third, there's nothing like taking as many reps as possible in practice. Obviously, practice is the greatest learning tool because I'm forced to make decisions under game-like situations. At the line of scrimmage, I only have a few seconds to make a check and then in the pocket, I have only a couple of seconds to make a decision of where to go with the football."

So what's the work on this kid? How good of a QB is Brian Hoyer?
