Merrill Hoge on Dan Patrick show shares thoughts about draft..


Recommended Posts

God bro I wish I had the sort of time that this kid has.

I stop by the huddle a couple times a day to see what's up, to take a break from work and kids, and this place has become almost overrun by this kid.

24 hours away from one of the most exciting weekends in franchise history, and the mods here have let this kid spam this forum.

Does anyone know any other sites to discuss with actual fans? Is reddit the move now?

You just don’t get it. It doesn’t matter what you think. It doesn’t matter how anybody would scheme anything. We aren’t NFL coaches. All that matters is what our coaches think and how they would scheme. If you think you’re smarter than them then go ahead and send in your resume. You have no credibility here and nobody except Gerry Green wants to have a conversation with you after you’ve spent the past 2 weeks acting like a complete ass.

This just in...Coaches and staff have never been wrong and dont make absolute atrocious picks. Fans and observers have no business questioning their decisions. Why even discuss them or form an opinion in the first place? Lets all go home.

@ncfan @poundaway 

Care to share how you would scheme around a qb with less that ideal arm strength and not being able to stand tall in the pocket? How about when he gets up there in the years do you think he will be an elite qb when whatever physical skills he has diminish..I'm interested to know or all you can do is post links and poo all day

“Me and Frank got together to discuss our pick and it took less than 5 seconds…”

I trust them over anything you say. You find one guy who has a different opinion and use that as ammo, the vast majority of football EXPERTS (people actually employed by a team) all agree Young is head and shoulders number 1 QB in this draft. Tomorrow will prove it.

Might be the weakest highlight reel I have ever seen. No big hits, no big plays. Just a average looking reel.

 

Luke was definitely on another level. 

Cool.  It didn't help that it was before HD.  My guess is you didn't see him play live.  Thanks for such a positive response!

Some fans shouldn’t be allowed to have opinions

This honestly doesnt mean much because its very subjective who you consider a football "expert" and then you would have to check how many times that individual has actually been right about any picks in the past like people are doing Merril Hodge because he doesnt agree with them.

That's DJ Ivey covering. Calling him dogshit would be an insult to dogshit.

Point was about his deep ball. Young can make every pass in the book and nfl execs all agree he is the number one QB and it’s not close. Tomorrow will prove that. No one questions how great out coaching staff is….. and they will pick Young. I trust them over any opinion on this board, they are all tying their NFL careers on getting this right.

If most posters on here want to have an honest discussion about something there isn’t usually a problem. Goat boy has just been spamming the past week and poo posting. That being said, it’s the night before the fuging draft and pretty much everybody is burnt out on this poo. You act like we should still be debating these QBs like we’re at the scouting combine. How about stop being whiny buzzkills and enjoy the draft. We have the #1 pick and some of you are acting like it’s a fuging funeral honestly just stfu and stop making these stupid threads.

Merril Hoge, ESPN

4 of 5

ESPN analyst Merril Hoge was one of the guys who made notable quotes ripping Cam Newton back in March before the draft.

Hoge flat out said Newton was not ready an NFL ready quarterback, while mainly bashing his throwing accuracy.

This article has a number of quotes from Hoge, who has since eaten crow.

In the article, Hoge said athletically, he might be a 12, but "as a quarterback he's probably pushing around a four."

Hoge went on to say, "Donovan [McNabb] would be a Kurt Warner compared to Cam Newton as far as accuracy goes."

"The only word I can use after watching four games is atrocious," he said. "You never know where that ball will end up. In fact, he was more of a runner than he ever was a passer."

Well Hoge couldn't have been more further from the truth, which has led to him now saying that Newton has been 'mind boggling' and that he "has been most impressed with Newton's willingness to stay in the pocket and go through his pass progressions rather than taking off running at the first opportunity."

Oh you didn’t hear. This thread apparently isn’t about the guy whose name is on the subject line and whose opinion they are basing all of this on. That’s at least what I was told??

    • I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever
    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies     
    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
