“There is nothing that he does that transitions to the NFL,” Hoge said. “There’s not one skillset he has that you say, ‘Gosh, he’s a first rounder…’ This guy has no business playing. If they put him in, quite honestly, it’s not helping their chances to win. It’s jeopardizing their chances to win.

“He has no business being on the field right now.”

“When he texted the Browns and said, ‘Let’s wreck this league,’ that didn’t just burn players — it infuriates coaches,” said Hoge. “Coaches are like, ‘Really?’ Peyton Manning hasn’t wrecked this league. (Aaron) Rodgers, Adrian Peterson … nobody wrecks this league. This league is a hard league to play in.”

“This will be the saddest, quickest ending we have seen in quite some time. It’ll be like a Tim Tebow (situation).”
