Merril Hoge spoke more sense in 10 mins that most of the other analysts have ever!!!

They need to have Merril on rotation

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 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!

Hoge needs to be on more👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Love Merrill. Would make a great inspirational pastor or platoon leader in real life or in a movie.

Finally someone with some elite common sense!!! Thank You.

This might be the most no-nonsense and informative draft discussion I’ve heard. Thanks Dan and Merril

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

Merril needs to be a regular segment on this show.

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?

I like Merril Hoge. We need him on a podcast.

“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.

True football guys KNOW football guys.

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

Hoge needs to be heard again. More Hoge plz. Hope we see more of him.

Hoge was awesome on ESPN, he and Jaws were great together.

I miss Merril being on tv.

Great interview

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.

If I was to do a sports talk and analysis show, i'd want Merrill to do at least some pre-draft segments. He's super hard working and smart. He's not an entertainer. We need more Merrills today. Great sports shows aren't driven by marketting departments and don't give a crap about clicks. That's Merrill in a nutshell.

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.

It’s week 6 in this 2023 NFL season and he is spot on. CJ looks like the clear best QB in the draft, Young is struggling in the dirty pocket, AR is exciting but inaccurate, and Bijan has been tremendous.

And so far he's absolutely right about Stroud. You the man Hoge

I miss Merrill’s analysis and his big-ass tie knots!

8:35... he said that same thing about Malik Willis (pocket awareness), then Tennessee drafted them both.

Based on the thumbnail, was legit wondering how long I'd been confused about who Daniel Craig is.

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.

The great Walter enough said

So glad Merrill works for us now😂

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?

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.

Please brong Merril back as a regular

I respect his opinion but hasn't everyone said Josh Allen and jaylen hurtz have gotten more accurate

Josh Allen did fix his accuracy....

Merrill is the best

Alabama fans are SO upset in these comments 💀 going to be fun to come back to in a couple years

Sunday morning ESPN Merril

Merril is spot on about Bryce Young. Average arm strength, small stature, and a injury waiting to happen. 2nd to 3rd grade.

He’s not wrong about JM but also sounds like an old know it all.

Didn’t Josh Allen improve accuracy a lot?

Merril Hoge should replace that airbag Mel Kiper on the draft show....

Not trying to be disrespectful but I remember as a kid when he was on ESPN I used to think he would say a lot dumb things especially coming from a former NFL player turn analyst.. Did he willingly leave ESPN or was he let go

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.

😂😂😂😂

Okay Merril didn’t like Johnny but you like CJ stroud?? Knowing what u know about Ohio State 😂 okay my G

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.

This is the same dude who said Football and CTE aren't linked... nobody should listen to this guy

It’s amazing espn let this guy go….

I liked some of what he said....but i cant wait for Stroud to be the biggest bust of them all lol

Did Hoge not watch Young. He has a 6th sense of where people are on the field. Stroud struggled more than young did

I respect Merril’s opinions but still hope my Panthers choose Bryce Young.

osu qb's are bust!

Merril looks like Freddie Krueger…

Hoggie makes a lot of sense

Finally someone with some elite common sense!!! Thank You.
