We only saw the kid play as a true frosh. He's had plenty of time to develop and I expect him to continue to improve. Why the negativity?

Why are folks so down on Hoge?

I think most compare him to Riley Nelson.

A healthy Riley Nelson had a lot of success

A healthy Riley Nelson was still FCS in talent

Stats don't agree with you. He was average, but he certainly was not an FCS guy

Not as highly rated out of HS so we simply just don't have much to go on until

Yep, just like Payton Dastrup, but reversed.

I'm supposedly Mr Negative but I like Hoge and would like to see what he could

you seem to confuse "supposedly" with "the most"

Oh Bobby. I am plenty positive

Because his instinct is to run first. It was evident in the limited time he

That was the exact same thing Steve Young said about himself as a freshman

donnerstag

7/25/17 2:00pm

He was a true freshman who no one expected to play, and who was a running QB

shakinbaker

7/25/17 2:04pm

And I think his biggest weakness was his confidence

BrutustheBrash

7/25/17 2:06pm

I think he's always going to show that.

Lip Gallagher

7/25/17 4:18pm

All fair, I'm just not seeing enough to think he will turn into a passing QB

Bob Vance

7/25/17 5:22pm

He's a smaller Riley Nelson. I've had enough of quarterbacks who can't throw.

SandYFan

7/25/17 1:55pm

Smaller? He's listed as an inch taller, and has an obviously stronger arm

Bob Vance

7/25/17 1:57pm

What's he weigh?

SandYFan

7/25/17 1:58pm

1 pound less. Nailed it!

Bob Vance

7/25/17 1:59pm

Yes!

Hoge has a hat size of 7 1/8 compared to Nelson's 9.

foofcoug

7/25/17 2:10pm

He's got a great arm though.

macaroni

7/26/17 2:34pm

I think he will be a solid backup, and capable starter if called upon. Probably

shakinbaker

7/25/17 2:05pm

Watching him in this year's spring game, he looked improved over when I've

dilbert

I'm not down on Hoge, but it looks like he will only be able to play for 1 year.

TheLoneCougar

7/25/17 2:10pm

it's the same folks who were down on Taysom

warp

I think you are giving too much credit to mop up duty as a freshman.

TheLoneCougar

7/25/17 3:13pm

Why do we have to run 2016's offense with Beau, & not what we are doing this yr?

viper

7/25/17 4:06pm

Because Beau isn't the passer Tanner is and if he could play in this offense

TheLoneCougar

7/25/17 4:13pm

thanks for your honesty

warp

7/25/17 4:35pm

I think we see things the same. I don't necessary prefer the deep ball, I like

TheLoneCougar

7/25/17 4:47pm

I'm not down on him. Reports from inside the program are good.

RebelScum

7/25/17 3:12pm

He is a Taysom-lite. Haven't been impressed with his passing so far.

D.T. Survivor

I don't know anything about him except he looked awful against ECU in 2015

BYU Fan

The gap between the two freshmen in that game was huge.

D.T. Survivor

7/25/17 6:57pm

good size. tough. decent runner. strong arm. Not too accurate. improving QB

TheFed

In back up time he has struggled to make simple throws. Seems like

He has time to learn the system better than Taysom does
