Mallett's throw on the two-point conversion was pretty damn good.

You know he's going to miss some short throws and you know that every once in a while he is going to do something profoundly stupid. I think you have to live with that because with no running game I don't think Hoyer is an option.

Hoyer doesn't have much going for him as a QB, but when he's had success, it was downfield. His best games in Cleveland were early 2013 going downfield to Jordan Cameron and Josh Gordon. He is not an accurate QB. He threw almost all short passes Sunday and still barely completed 50%.

I believe both Qbs are average at best. However, Mallet CAN be a weapon while Hoyer is simply a game manager at best. Me personally I am gambling with the weapon. He has something that other teams have to at least account for. Hoyer has nothing the defense has to account for. If you are going to be short AND not have a strong arm you'd better be deadly accurate in the short passing game. He is not.

If I'm BOB i'm taking 3 to 4 deep shots each quarter. Even if I know they're probably going to be incomplete. At least it keeps the defense honest and on its toes. While giving us enough space hopefully to run the ball.
