Merril Hoge Responds To 2014 Clip Of Him Being Spot On About Johnny Manziel Prior To Draft

Why is Skip still on? He should be calling bingo numbers at Shady Oaks.

Look at when Johnny played LSU, he never beat them. I said the same thing about Johnny. LSU never let him get out of the pocket. To play QB in the NFL, you have to be able to throw from the pocket! Failure on Johnnys part.

Skip Bayless...My dog would do a better job at what he does.

Hoge was right on the money.

I don’t know why this is not more obvious to everyone. Sumlin ran a spread, that at the time, was unique to the SEC. It was not unstoppable in any way. Manziel was only relevant, not because of talent, but he had the wheels to scramble after the play never materialized. It never materialized because both Sumlin and Manziel were not real good at football. Once the two were not on the same field any more, that did not work any more. It likely would not have worked if the SEC had seen more of Sumlin before Manziel. Spread the field, scramble, rinse, repeat. It was lightning in a bottle. Defenses adjusted quickly and everyone involved became irrelevant.

Johnny was great at making plays when everything had broken down. He needed chaos to make a play.

Skip was completely wrong about Burrow. It took him watching the national championship to understand why people thought Joe was such a great quarterback.
With that, all you had to do was watch the LSU games when he was QB at Texas A&M to know everything you needed to know about Johnny. He had a QBR of hardly nothing.

He was right about Clowney too.

This clip says everything you need to know about Skip Bayless

Skip Bayless is a a large part of why I stopped watched ESPN programming

Skip Brainless is such a worthless POS.

Guy who has been in league vs those who probably never played the game

Skip is the stupidest person in sports journalism

However much Skip has been paid in his career is money flushed down the toilet. I can’t believe he is even employed. As I sit here, I’m watching a guy pushing grocery carts thru the WalMart parking lot. He would be better at what Skip is doing than Skip would ever dream of being.

Hoge was very diplomatic about his answer as well. Of course Skip has to get all absolute and bombastic with his.

This explains a lot about Kliff Kingsbury too.

As usual, Skip is dead wrong
