gets one more week to prove himself, as the announced the over rookie . "We feel Hoyer gives us the best chance to win," head coach said. Was this the ? Around The NFL's Conor Orr and Chris We seling debate the decision:Conor Orr: From a football perspective, I fundamentally disagreed with the selection in the first place, which may be coloring my decision to agree with here. Of course, Chelsea FC Jersey Manziel has more raw talent and has a different skill set than , but if he was truly ready in terms of playbook knowledge and comfort with progre sions, and if he was truly interested in eliminating some of the riskier on-field maneuvers that won't work outside of college, wouldn't this have been a simple decision? After seeing reports trickle in from players hinting that the call was a "no brainer," I've heard all I needed to in terms of the why. Chris We seling: That last point is the best one. The have a 10 percent chance to make the playoffs, per Football Outsiders. There's no part of me that believes their season will extend into January, but I'm not in Santos Laguna Jersey the locker room. doesn't have to deal with my reaction. He does have to convince his players that the final four games are meaningful.The question I have is whether Hoyer is truly a better option than Manziel. By Football Focus' grading system, Hoyer's last three games are the worst three-game stretch by any quarterback this season -- including , and four rookie signal-callers.Orr: Which is why I don't think there's any harm in waiting another week to make this call. Like the found out this year, you can bench the rookie but you cannot go back. I think the are nuts if they don't get Manziel some significant field time this season, but I don't think there's any harm in seeing if the decision emotionally galvanizes the ' locker room -- and Hoyer -- into playing lights-out against Indianapolis and scoring an upset.

Defenses have adjusted of late, though, showing le s respect for an inconsistent ' ground attack. Hoyer has a strong argument as the NFL's least effective quarterback over the past month, completing le s than 56 percent of his pa ses with six interceptions and just one touchdown. Manziel's Pumas UNAM Jersey running ability could be just the threat Shanahan needs to start stre sing defenses again.Orr: I love the thought of what Shanahan might be able to do. And you're right, maybe the spark would truly come from transforming the ' offense a bit. But I feel like Pettine polled way more than his general manager and coaching staff before making this call. If the vets Shop Player Jersey really rallied around Manziel, this wouldn't be a question. I think you can get just as much of a spark leaning on Hoyer, who now knows that his last legitimate chance of being viewed as an everyday NFL starter is on Sunday. We seling: I can't wait to watch try to exchange blows with in a shootout. Pettine will have to throw in the towel by halftime to salvage what's left of Hoyer's career.The latest Around The NFL Podcast and reacts to earning the nod over .
