Ever since Bill O’Brien took over as head coach in 2014, this has been a position in flux. The former Penn State coach first turned to the bearded wonder, Ryan Fitzpatrick. After injuries took their toll he turned to Ryan Mallett, then to Case Keenum and finally Tom Savage.

2015 wasn’t much better as they went from Brian Hoyer to Mallett again and then had to trust T.J. Yates and Brandon Weeden as well. Of course in the end they returned to Hoyer, who let the team down with four interceptions in their lone playoff game.

The team decided things would never get better as long as they tried to do patchwork at the quarterback spot, and they invested big in the position that matters most to the wins and losses.
