I was watching on my TV and had to jump to my phone so I could leave a comment.. WHERE TF HAVE YOU BEEN MERRIL HODGE!?! You are one of my favorite analysts of all time. Love your takes and knowledge. Hope you’re well!
“He never played in structure… You never draft someone because they’re exciting.” That quote right there. That’s why you don’t draft Trey Lance or Anthony Richardson.
Merrill hodge is a loser…. I remember him suing Monsanto for round up causing his cancer yet he barely used the shit and was hardly exposed when he was young. It's like cheer leaders or gymnasts or catholics suing saying they were raped but there's no fucking proof 10,20,30 years after the fact but they get millions of dollars….. we have to stop with litigious shit in this country.
I love Merrill, but he also needs to reconcile players like Allen, who showed terrible accuracy in college and in the nfl for his first two season, and Mahomes who played way out of structure in college.
What a breath of fresh air! Would love to see Merrill as a color man in a NFL broadcast booth. Maybe he's TOO honest. I was sports director at a small eastern Idaho tv station, and Hoge/Idaho State University was in our coverage area. Man was a workout beast, even in the dog days of summer when his teammates were out getting drunk and chasing women. How ya doing, Merrill!? Dave from KIFI-TV says hi. Drop me a line if you see this.
I've commented this a million times so here's 1 million and 1, NO ONE asks better questions at least for me than Dan Patrick aka DP and it ain't even close. He just literally asked MH every single question I would wanted to hear the answer to. Is this how algorithm works?
Merrill lived four houses down from me in Pocatello Idaho, let us play jam ball in his drive way him and family are all class act. Sad that Highlqnd our highschool burned down.
Meryl Hodge also was spot on in his assessment of Jadeveon Clowney being a disappointment and Khalil Mack being a star, which he was until he left the Bears. Dude knows his stuff.
Merril Hoge was getting less appreciated as an analyst because of his take on Tim Tebow. People forget to realize that he picked Khalil Mack over Clowney. He was right on that one.

Smart analysis. Didn't recall he played for Chuck Noll.

Hoggie makes a lot of sense
Did Hoge not watch Young. He has a 6th sense of where people are on the field. Stroud struggled more than young did
This is the same dude who said Football and CTE aren't linked… nobody should listen to this guy
Hoge was as fearless as a football player can be…took a lot of massive blows to his head and body.
Didn’t Josh Allen improve accuracy a lot?
Love Merrill. Would make a great inspirational pastor or platoon leader in real life or in a movie.
True football guys KNOW football guys.
They need to have Merril on rotation
The great Walter enough said
Merrill is the best
I don’t see Bryce Young lasting a long time. He’s the best QB in the draft but his size will not allow him to remain healthy.

He’s not wrong about JM but also sounds like an old know it all.
I loved this guy the man, the player and his speaking out about the game he loved to play. I wish him well, his health. AMEN
I miss Merrill’s analysis and his big-ass tie knots!
Merril Hoge spoke more sense in 10 mins that most of the other analysts have ever!!!
I respect Merril’s opinions but still hope my Panthers choose Bryce Young.
osu qb's are bust!
Great interview

Based on the thumbnail, was legit wondering how long I'd been confused about who Daniel Craig is.
Hoge needs to be on more👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Why is Dan platforming this science denying crackpot who actually thinks Concussions are an overblown myth…
I respect his opinion but hasn't everyone said Josh Allen and jaylen hurtz have gotten more accurate
Finally someone with some elite common sense!!! Thank You.

Why isn't he on tv as much anymore. I wish ESPN would bring back alot of these guys,I hate most of the new people there.
Merril looks like Freddie Krueger…
Sunday morning ESPN Merril
It’s amazing espn let this guy go….
This might be the most no-nonsense and informative draft discussion I’ve heard. Thanks Dan and Merril
this guy is such a stud. how in the world is he not on a show or more importantly why doesn't he have his own show?
Merril Hoge was getting less appreciated as an analyst because of his take on Tim Tebow. People forget to realize that he picked Khalil Mack over Clowney. He was right on that one.
Please brong Merril back as a regular
Not true at all that QBs can’t improve accuracy. Jalen Hurts, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson all improved theirs tremendously when they got in the league.
😂😂😂😂
Hoge needs to be heard again. More Hoge plz. Hope we see more of him.
