He was given the job.....like 5 ints in a single half ended the audition.

He was not given the job. Kizer was given the job. They stuck with garbage Kizer all throughout. Kizer got 15 auditions and Hogan 1? Come on. Well the man in charge now knows. Thats why Kizer is gone and Hogan is re-signed

I read this as Hogan resigns and I was happy about it.

Then I clicked in the thread and found out he had re-signed.

LOL, actually he did not re-sign or resign:

In addition, the team tendered restricted free agent DL Jamie Meder and extended qualifying offers to the following exclusive rights free agents: WR Josh Gordon, WR Matt Hazel, QB Kevin Hogan, OL Austin Reiter and FB Danny Vitale.

They took the job from Kizer....gave it to Hogan.....then realized Hogan was worse....so they gave it back to Kizer.

And they kept Hogan because Dorsey drafted him out of college....and because they still wanted a 3rd string QB...and figured Hogan had as good a chance to be #3  than likely getting some UDFA.

But, I still expect them to get a UDFA...to compete with your Hero Hogan.

Ha. Hogan is not my hero. He was just the best QB on the roster last year. I'm sorry for wanting the best QB on the roster to start. Bad game or not he was the best. That is why he is still on the team and Kizer is not. He is not better then Tyrod Taylor though and yes he will be the 3rd on this years team.

I'm with PoG. Hogan should have been last years starter.

Actually the entire quarterback situation was and has been a mess since prior to 1996 or after 1999 depending on your viewpoint.

Kizer with two years NCAA experience was thrown into the fire to fail with no real reliable recievers.

Hogan and Kessler not much if any better, maybe this new attempt at team building will be better.....with 10 picks to go.

0-16 or 1-31 teams have many holes not just QB A, B or C.

Yeah boy - BOOYAH! 

Hogan is the man. With Gordon, Landry and Njoku, Hogan will thrive. Add in Barkley and rotate in Hyde, let Coleman and Duke compliment the starters... insane offensive potential.

He will thrive......he will be paid a fair amount of money for holding a clipboard.   I would not mind being paid the kind of jack he will be to do that job.

[The User from Cleveland]

Well, this definitely means we're skipping a QB at 1 and 4.

[bjh2130]

He outlasted kizer because kizer actually has potential and other teams saw that and traded for kizer. You think the packers make that same deal for Hogan? Hell no

[Mark O]

He's gonna have a nice paying gig for being the 3rd string QB.    The good money he will make should make it easy for him to afford keeping that restraining order in place against a certain overzealous fan of his.

Hogan is here because he's as cheap as they come with the ERFA tag. Please Mr. Dorsey- I'd love to sit in on meetings and hold a clipboard for $790k this year. I throw a mean 10 yard wounded duck. 

And he will outlast Kessler too Po. so for that I give you credit.

Dorsey didn't draft Kesler....so he's chosen Hogan as our #3.  -  Six or half a dozen I guess.

[Tour2ma]

I see Po has a new best buddy...

... but he did draft Hogan. Determined to prove his 5th rounder was wisely spent?

It's a dangerous road to travel Tour. But I do agree with Po on one thing- Hue stuck with Kizer way too long trying to see if he'd "get it" when he obviously wasn't. We both witnessed the atrocity in Texas that was Hogan live and in person- but why give Kizer 10 mulligans, and Hogan one? Just because Deshone was a second round pick? It was almost like Hue had his marching orders- play as badly as possible to secure another #1 pick.

Yup.  All things being equal, that's who he was gonna keep.

[Kvoethe]

Who we gonna replace him with?  Since he resigned?

or is it re-signed?

[jcam222]

Hogan will not be on this team for game #1. 

[Zombo]

I could see us going with TT and the draft pick and both Hogan and Kessler gone ... If one sticks as a 3rd QB my money is on Hogan ... but I'd be happy moving on from both.
