I had been ignoring your posts until coming on here on my phone from Spain before signing in. This one is quite reasonable Dr.G. Enjoyed the read and I agree.

Po,
I honestly get your passion... truly.. While I can agree with pieces of your take and add more to Hogan's case, I just can't agree with your bottom line here.
- Mobility: favors Hogan over Kess easily. Over Kizer? Maybe, but it's close.
- Pocket presence? Kizer was coming on here... slowly, but surely. I think he has the edge now over the other choices.
- Which brings us to "head". I agree that Hogan's read ability is better than Kizer's at present. I would, however, maintain that Kess' is even greater yet. Yet Kess has a downfield mental block that Hogan does not have. That said...
Kizer has improved his reads as the season has rolled on. He has increasingly looked to the right target with each game. He has learned. He is not yet consistently seeing the field, i.e., the receiver and the defender in the target area. He has at times as back-shoulder throws as early as Week 1 have shown, but not consistently. He also is not yet reliably adjusting throws to the situation. Specifically dialing down his fast ball, especially under pressure. His touch has to come.
Every current weakness in Kizer's game is not going to develop sitting on Game Day and taking limited 2nd string reps. If he is to improve, and there are no guarantees, he has to get the lions share of the work during the week and play on Sunday. And "three years" is a pipe dream. We are on a one-year schedule here. We need to know how aggressively to pursue a QB this coming off-season. Kizer, and only Kizer, has the potential to turn that dial down because...
And then there's arm strength... you cannot "teach" arm strength. That you are the only one seeing his arm as adequate should tell you something. It's not. Hogan's arm is not even Hoyer-strong.
But hey... Carr looked good again last nite..
Most dedicated troll nominee: PoG
Not even close... undeserved...
Ditto for cal... at least in this section of the forum...

- so it's a wash?
- Pocket presence? Kizer was coming on here... slowly, but surely. I think he has the edge now over the other choices.
- Kaiser is coming on after 5 Games? Great and still behind Hogan. So with 5 more games Hogan could come on?
- Which brings us to "head". I agree that Hogan's read ability is better than Kizer's at present. I would, however, maintain that Kess' is even greater yet. Yet Kess has a downfield mental block that Hogan does not have. That said...
- and Factor number 3 goes to Hogan. And again why couldn't that get better with as many NFL starts as Kizer?
Kizer has improved his reads as the season has rolled on. He has increasingly looked to the right target with each game.
and no reason Hogan wouldn't improve his reads. So the argument is Hogan is ahead in everything but Kaiser might get better? A matter fact the only positive Kaiser has his arm strength. Remember da and Brandon Weeden and dr. Dave Mays?

Allow me to summarize my rankings... electoral college style...
- Mobility: Hogan-Kizer T-1, Kess 3
- Pocket Presense: Kizer 1, Hogan 2, Kess 3
- Reading: Kess 1, Hogan 2, Kizer 3
Totals: Kizer 5, Hogan 5, Kess 7 ... low man wins.... tiebreaker to arm-strength/upside. It doesn't matter how well you can read, if you can't/won't make the throws...
Final Verdict: Kizer
Now if you want the raw vote totals... well that'll cost you...

The amount of time debated on this board (and I'm guilty of doing it too) regarding a guy named Kevin Hogan - who most likely won't start a season's worth of games in his entire career - is pretty impressive.

Well when you have even one Champion... one persistent-beyond-all-that-is-reasonable Champion... that's how it goes.
Also doesn't hurt that I like Po... He's been good to post with for years.
WSS? Meh... but he does wear a kilt... to work no less...

PoG seems like a good guy for sure... even if I do feel like he's sometimes trolling us regarding Hogan

Well, he was locked into Trent Richardson the same way.

Let he who has never locked onto and held onto a player beyond objective reason, cast the first stone...
... or something like that.
