Merrill Hoge on Cutler - The Orange Mane

Derger_Louis · 12-05-2006, 01:33 PM

I was looking through a chat and came across a question about Hoge on Cutler - anyone know what he said? Hoge is a ****ing Idiot, I can only imagine.

J.J. (Johnstown): Why did Merrill Hodge kill Cutler last night after the game. He had 143 yards 2 and 2. Vince Young had 163 2 and 2 and people are basically casting his mold for the HOF. Why? This was cutlers first game mind you.

Rodd Newhouse: I know. Just gives people somehting to talk about. I do not blame Cutler for anything last night. his performance was actually very well for a rookie thrown in under those circumstances. I think he made some rookie mistakes that he will learn from. I just do not agree with Shanahan pulling the plug on jake at this juncture of the season.

Here are some more Denver/Culter related questions:

Ben (NJ): Alright, people may question Shanny on the Cutler move, but it was the perfect decision. It was evident that the Broncos weren't winning the Superbowl this year, and that makes it the perfect time for the promising rookie to get some experiance. This will pay off very well in the future for the Broncos, maybe even as soon as next year.

Rodd Newhouse: Yeah, but you are still in the hunt at 7-4. Why make the move NOW? Now youare 7-5 and could very well be 7-6 by next weekend. There are no guarantees in football.I commend Shanny for having the guts to make the move, becasue he knows better than all of us. BUT I do know that one month after signing Jake 3 years ago, Shanny was ready to make a move from Jake. I just think it could have waited.

Jobiashi (beachwood, Ohio) : Yes or no........ will Denver make the playoffs?

Rodd Newhouse: yes.

Lou (Roselle Park, NJ): At 7-5, both the Broncos and the Chiefs are looking to miss the play-offs with the Jets suprise surge. True or False?

Rodd Newhouse: I see the Broncos prevailing over these two teams. The Broncos will have to rely on their defense to pull them over the hump becasue of the QB change. I do not see enough staying power in the other 2 to make a final run. It will be close though.

Brian (NYC): Who are your two AFC wildcards?

Rodd Newhouse: Cincy and Denver

Jayson (Greensburg, KS): Will Denver be able to even keep it respectable in San Diego next weekend?

Rodd Newhouse: Oddly enough, I think so. The Broncos defense will step up, and there will be more emphasis on the rushing attack to take the pressure off of Cutler, becasue the 3-4 defense is killer to know where all the protection is coming from for a rookie QB. It gives P. Manning fits, so I do not see Cutler being asked to stand in the pocket a lot.

Mike (PA): Cutler is just starting out, and do you expect him to have some success like Vince Young has been having?

Rodd Newhouse: After scouting V. Young, J. Cutler, and #7 in Arizona, I came away withthe assesment that Culter would be the better long term QB as a pure passer. The jury is obvioulsy still out because Cutler has only played one game. #7 has only 2 wins, and V. Young has 5. So if we go off of records, I guess the nod goes to V. Young. But Culter will be the better long term QB.

Thank you. Every moron here thinks if you didn't want Cutler starting this season that you were head over heals for Plummer. That is simply not the case. Only a buffoon would think a rookie QB could come in so late in the season and perform better than Plummer. That is what I was against the move. I have no idea how Cutler is going to turn out, I wish for the best but I just don't know. Was now the time to find out? Hell ****ing no it wasn't. Shanahan just ripped this team of its confidence by putting put this kid in a akward position. There are a bunch of guys that support Plummer on that team and he might have even seperated that lockerroom.

I still don't get it. Shanahan knew our pass line is one of the worst in pass protection yet he still made the switch. God damn it.

Kaylore · 12-05-2006, 09:51 PM

On NFL Live a few weeks ago, Hodge said that Cutler was the best QB in the draft and would have the most success. Maybe he was upset with his performance.

CoMoChief · 12-05-2006, 09:52 PM

Hodge is the biggest dumbass among NFL analysts. Well Michael Irvin acutally is, but Hodge is a close 2nd.

Next to Gonzo......

I am kidding!!!!

watermock · 12-05-2006, 10:17 PM

Can you imagine Gonzo on TV? *shudders*

I'm not sure this Roddy guy burns with a very bright light. Denver loses all the tiebreakers at this point of the 7-5 5 way logjam. Not sure why, because two of the losses are against NFC teams, but that's what they said. A likely loss Sunday will make it worse.

I would say our playoff chances for a wildcard are about 40/60 because of the overall strength of the AFC.

Hogan11 · 12-05-2006, 11:10 PM

The Jets do have the easiest sched. out of the bunch....barring a major misstep, I see them grabbing one of the spots.

I'm not too optimistic about Denver's chances to be honest about it. The thought of Sincy getting into the playoffs makes me physically ill.

Weren't we averaging 17 points per game with Plummer? Cutler outperformed that average. How many games did Plummer win in his last 2 starts?

Only a buffoon would still think, after watching pitiful perfomance after pitiful performance, that Plummer was taking this team anywhere but down a dead end street.

Shanahan didn't rip this team from anything but a sinking ship with no future.

Ahhhh, the voice of reason. Plummer was, what, 29th or 26th or something like that in passer rating? I like Plummer, but anyone can go out and throw for a buck forty and 2 or 3 INTs. I think it was a good time and a good decision.
Let me ask this....would Shanahan have pulled the plug on Plummer if Romo wasn't having the success that he's having in Dallas? That team has been rejuvenated and energized by that kid. They've rallied around him. I think the Broncos will do the same. They have character.

Mile High Shack · 12-06-2006, 09:10 AM

Hodge is just mad b/c Denver didn't draft a "factor back"

watermock · 12-06-2006, 09:23 AM

We have to give Jay a few more games than Romo...he was there for 3 years.

I understand that. Obviously Romo had more experience in his system than Cutler. I was referring to the impact he has on the rest of the team.
Nobody expects Cutler to go out and lead the league in QB rating....

bloodsunday · 12-06-2006, 04:12 PM

This isn't Hodge. It's Rod Newhouse.

rovolution · 12-06-2006, 05:17 PM

right after the game on Sunday on ESPN (after each Sunday night game, they do a little review where they ask Salisbury or Hodge what they though about the game), Hodge basically said Cutler was terrible and then proceeded to say that the change failed (even though it was just Cutler's first game)
