Merril Hoge says Jameis Winston is fat, slow, and a lumbering athlete that the NFL will expose

Hoge said, “When you look at Cam Newton on a scale from one to 10 as far as athleticism he may be a 12. When you look at him as a quarterback he probably pushing around a four

 

 

 Hoge said that in “half a heart beat” he would select Griffin over Luck if he was drafting for Indianapolis. “Don’t be shocked if the Colts take RG3. … Football people will look at this, and they’ll be like ‘holy cow. That kid [Griffin] is unreal.'”

This is what I like to call the logic of a "reverse stereotype," to reinforce the same racist narrative.

 

Allow me to demonstrate:

 

There was an overwhelming narrative that "Athletic quarterbacks" game will not transfer into a successful career into the NFL. Most of those quarterbacks turned out to be black quarterbacks (regardless of the fact that there are quite a few qbs who are mobile. IE: Andrew Luck.) That narrative is downplayed when an athletic QB sees success by attributing success to other factors: Panthers win because of their defense (despite Cam's record breaking numbers), or overlooked altogether: Russell Wilson (first black QB to win a superbowl since Doug Williams. First mobile QB to win since Steve Young.)

 

Since the emergence of the "New prototypical QB," Russell Wilson, Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, Colin Kaep... that narrative has quietly been swept under the rug.

 

What we are now seeing... and I've heard this twice today concerning Jameis Winston... is that he is now "not athletic enough" to survive today's game. Jameis Winston's football IQ has been compared to Peyton Manning's. THE Peyton Manning... the guy who years prior... scouts and analysts have lived and died by his method as a prototypical QB. Jameis Winston

 

Now Marcus Mariota is being praised because of his athletic ability... when his numbers aren't much greater than Jameis.

 

When you take a set of attributes and talents and see them as a strength for one group of people.... but a weakness always for another.... THAT is racism.

 

So while Big Ben's chunky frame is seen as an asset... Jameis Winston is seen as a liability.

 

Now... for the record... I think Jameis is an idiot. He's done a lot of idiotic things and I don't see that totally going away. I like Marcus Mariota... but he's just not better than Jameis.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
