Hoge Doubles Down on Maye"},"content":{"rendered":"

One big story this week was ESPN analyst Merril Hoge expressing concern when it comes to North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye, with Maye being a player Hoge doesn\u2019t believe any teams should target in round one<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tom Curran of NBC Sports Boston followed up with Hoge, with the NFL analyst appearing on\u00a0Curran\u2019s most recent\u00a0Patriots Talk Podcast<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Curran asked him about those comments, as well as what he looks for in a quarterback.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s really two things, and they\u2019re entwined as one,\u201d explained Hoge. \u201cYou can\u2019t have one without the other, they have to work together and it\u2019s really a guy that processes things quickly and effectively and is accurate, and that\u2019s where it starts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s say you don\u2019t have accuracy, but you\u2019re a pretty good processor.\u00a0 Well, the accuracy will run you out of the league.\u00a0 Let\u2019s say you\u2019re accurate, but you\u2019re really not a good processor.\u00a0 Well, that will run you out of the league.\u00a0 So those two things you have to show in college that you can really perform well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hoge went on to say that within the last five years, only C.J. Stroud and Joe Burrow have fallen within that category based on who he\u2019s evaluated.<\/p>\n

One other note that Hoge mentioned was the fact that how fans view quarterbacks isn\u2019t the right way.\u00a0 He says most judge players by what they did in college, and not necessarily how they\u2019ll perform at the NFL level.<\/p>\n

\u201cI evaluate players on where they\u2019re going to play, not where they\u2019re playing,\u201d said Hoge.\u00a0 \u201cThat\u2019s always the problem because fans look at the college player, \u2018He won a Heisman trophy,\u2019 that\u2019s a college thing.\u00a0 \u2018He won a National Championship,\u2019 that\u2019s a college thing. \u2018He played in the SEC,\u2019 that\u2019s the SEC in college.\u00a0 There\u2019s a bunch of things that change and are big changes from college to the NFL that I don\u2019t think anybody considers, and they are monumental.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, the field is different.\u00a0 Now, the width and length are the same, however, the hashmarks are different and that completely changes the environment of the game.\u00a0 College hashmarks are wide, in the NFL, they\u2019re narrow.\u00a0 In colleges you play on the perimeter, in the NFL, you\u2019ve got to play in the middle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThen when you look at the defenses and offenses that exist in the NFL, they\u2019re just not even in the same hemispheres with what you see in college, it\u2019s mindboggling.\u00a0 That\u2019s the biggest hurdle.\u00a0 Everybody goes, \u2018Oh, speed,\u2019 no, speed is third.\u00a0 Number one is the IQ of the game.\u00a0 The overall intelligence of the game.\u00a0 You\u2019ve got grown men, they\u2019re the best in the world, being paid millions of dollars to play it, and they\u2019re good at it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got great coaches.\u00a0 You\u2019ve got great people that game plan, thinking of things, you had one of the best of all time in Bill Belichick.\u00a0 That\u2019s what you\u2019re going against each and every Sunday and that\u2019s just a big jump and a monumental jump.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about Maye, Hoge again doubled down on his previous evaluation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Maye kid will get you fired,\u201d said Hoge.\u00a0 \u201cI wouldn\u2019t touch him. Let\u2019s talk about the two things I just mentioned \u2013 processing and accuracy \u2013 I cannot think of somebody as erratic as I have seen, I mean at every level.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople bring up Josh Allen all the time.\u00a0 They are 100% incorrect.\u00a0 This kid in North Carolina \u2013 I mean, let me tell you something, I\u2019ve watched his last two years, every game. And I tried \u2026 the best game I ever saw, which actually would be a marginal game too \u2013 you\u2019d walk away going \u2018eh\u2019 \u2013 was the Pitt game.\u00a0 His last game, the NC State game, I\u2019m telling you [shakes head], when I got done with it, I\u2019m like, can he function in a dirty environment?\u00a0 Does he move well, still throw well, and process well?\u00a0 He\u2019s bad there, and he\u2019s bad in a clean pocket which actually was very disturbing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Curran then asked him if Maye\u2019s footwork could be fixed, which Hoge felt was possible, but he also said that clubs often fall into the trap of \u2018I can fix him.\u2019\u00a0 \u00a0He also believes there\u2019s too much else that just makes Maye a player not worthy of being taken at the top of round one.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, he called Michigan\u2019s J.J. McCarthy \u201cOK,\u201d and he\u2019s someone who Hoge also feels doesn\u2019t believe to be worthy of a first-round pick, at least not when compared to players like Stroud and Burrow.<\/p>\n

One point of emphasis that Hoge did preach was the fact that, \u201cNothing great is built suddenly,\u201d and \u201cTeams win championships.\u201d\u00a0 That strikes a bit of a chord, given that even someone like Tom Brady didn\u2019t win as a rookie.\u00a0 It took Brady a full year quietly in the NFL behind the scenes before he was truly ready to step in when his number was called, and it took a collective effort by that entire team during that\u00a02001 Patriots season<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to win a title.<\/p>\n

For now, Hoge makes a couple of arguments that would make any Patriots fan potentially have pause when it comes to Maye, which will likely see the narrative continue to shift toward McCarthy, who the club is also rumored to have interest in.<\/p>\n
