Edge for Brian Hoyer comes down to experience, consistency, decision-making, less practice interceptions, gut feeling
Ryan Mallett did some good things in camp and preseason games, but ultimately not enough to unseat Brian Hoyer, who got the job
Encouraging development for the future is third quarterback Tom Savage making some strides, they'll keep grooming him for the future

FWIW I think Hoyer and Mallett are both better options than Fitzpatrick. Just know there are plenty disappointed with the decision.
Adam Caplan @caplannfl
On Hoyer decision, my understanding is that he was the most consistent of the 2 QBs from practice to practice.
John McClain @McClain_on_NFL
Here's the way I look at it: OB won 9 games using 4 QBs, starting 3 last year. If he wants Hoyer now, I'm giving him benefit of the doubt.
