4. "Did a black qb fuck his wife or something?!!" In response to Reply # 0
I'm not the cism police, but this shit is downright offensive. It's almost as worse as his marked hatred for Mcnabb and the Eagles.
What pisses me off more, is that he didn't answer the question. In the fourth quarter and crucial plays throughout the game it wasnt the running game--it was vince.
He threw two touchdown's that werent hitches or screens, they were tight slants--the same slants chow ran at USC.
How can you say they are hiding Vince Young, did you not see the stats last weeks game. And he said "vince is confused by coverage." Just say he's dumb Merril. he just keeps patronizing him, he has to convert that running into pass plays, he says. WHY. 78 yards rushing--thats doing what it takes to win. When brady ran for 15 against the bears no one said he gotta do that with the pass. Nor did anyone call it the other qb's (Hasselback anyone) who are relying on their run game.
Listening to the press conference he broke down the coverage pretty well. Colts linebackers put run pressure on; cover 3 or cover 2, bob sanders gets to roam.
Sounds good to me. Merril needs to be firedm the dude offers no insight, he just sounds tough.
for real cunningham fucked his wife, iknow it.

6. "Hoge has basically dug a hole going against Vince..." In response to Reply # 0
and he probably feels he cant go back on that. Young can be 2 Super Bowl rings in and Hoge will still be crediting the running game, the coaches, the jersey maker b/c it allows Vince to run freely, etc.
when you're a talking airhead like Hoge and you've turned your career into one long loud white man rant, you can't go back on your schtick.
it's an unfortunate trait many commentators have today. they think it would be worse to change course than to stick with something that's obviously wrong. (Like Bush in Iraq.)
The sad part is, Hoge and other TV yappers could totally admit they were wrong about it and it would actually give them *more* credibility, not less.
19. "this is worse than the anti-Eagles stance he assumed" In response to Reply # 6
for the better part of this decade, where every year he'd pick against the Eagles making the playoffs and then couldn't conceed anything even while they made a run to the Super Bowl.
This motherfucker takes it personally when one of his assessments doesn't work out the way he planned it, he digs his heels in even further and goes out of his way to shit on players/teams.
8. "Vince is 5-4 as a rookie ON THE SORRY ASS TITANS!!!!!" In response to Reply # 0
with wins versus 2 playoff teams from last season ( G-Men, Indy ) in back-to-back weeks!!! Other than the Dallas ( first start) & Jax losses, since Vince has been at the helm, the Titans has been in every game even if they lost. ( lost by 1 @ Indy & by 1 vs Baltimore ).
They've won 5 of their last 7 games!
What Vince is doing on that porous team is remarkable. Of course he's not the only reason because you win & loss as a team but his impact sure as hell weighs more heavily than QBs on teams stacked with talent.
12. "Even though Hoge is hating - he's right about the throwing" In response to Reply # 0
I'm embarrassed for him as a steelers fan. I really think this has more to do with his frustration with Kordell's up and down career. He's an ex-steeler and unabashed homer for them. He's seeing Vince young and thinking "Kordell 2k6".

Anyone who actually watched footage of Vince, without hate googles saw he has a very quick release, very, very, good touch, and a strong arm(he flicked the homerun ball with very little effort while at Texas).
For all his "inability to read coverage" he threw VERY few interceptions..
...Vince's problem was lack of reps...he just needs more experience, just like ANY young QB.
Hell, look at Steve Young and Troy Aikman's rookie passing numbers.
Atrocious.
Lack of experience doesn't mean he didn't display a pocket passer skill set while at Texas. He MORE than showed that.

he said something about his reads right now. I agree that he's not there yet. But his statement is completely layered hate. VY will get better and is doing fine.

it's great cause hoge won't back down. like kerry collins was gonna win games with the titans dominant running game of travis henry. he is so dumb i don't want him to admit how wrong he is.
39. "What is Hoge's Problem with Young???" In response to Reply # 30 Tue Dec-12-06 06:14 PM by Selassie I God
Just listened to the show...
He gives the man NO CREDIT for winning games, going out of his way to take cheap shots at him.
He's even worse that Salisbury with his.

You not thinking that he can play at the next level on draft day or a couple of games in, and the level of hate that Hoge is putting on Vince Young (especially when VY is balling, and making the TITANS look respectable)
65. "you're a Sooner fan though" In response to Reply # 54
your bias against him is understandable.
>but from highlights and whatnot it looks like i was wrong >about young. > >kid can play at the next level. good for him. > >g'head and take my L on that one.
70. "You would think that a whyte tailback" In response to Reply # 0
would sympathize with a Black Quaterback. Both are exceptions to the rule in the NFL. I'd like to see the Titans finish .500 (win 2 of 3) because nobody thought if Vince started they would have more than 4 wins this season. Quit with the Hogeration Merril!

77. "Didi this mafucka just say Jay Cutler was the only QB" In response to Reply # 0
worthy of being drafted in the first round because he threw 1 bomb? Mafucka, how about leading a pathetic Tennessee team to .500? Matt Leinart has more than proved he deserved to be taken in the first round.
Not to shyt on Jay but cot dayum Hoge, when does it end man?
