NFL Week 7 Overreactions: 5 Things Completely Blown Out of Proportion
4. Kevin Hogan is the Next Great Mobile Quarterback
The follies at quarterback continued for the Cleveland Browns in NFL Week 7 as rookie Cody Kessler was forced into an early exit from the contest due to a concussion. That brought in another rookie, one who started the season on the practice squad, in Kevin Hogan. Yes, Hogan struggled largely when it comes to throwing the football. But the Browns should adopt the Wildcat exclusively because the Stanford product is the NFL’s next great running quarterback.
I mean, did you see the ferocity and speed that he showed off on his touchdown run, the first score of his career? He looked like Bo Jackson out there dicing up the Cincinnati Bengals. As stated, you probably want to shy away from letting him throw the ball. Though that’s normally a prerequisite to playing quarterback, Hogan isn’t particularly adept in that department. However, he’s a weapon when he tucks the ball and takes off.
After all, the loss on Sunday moved the Browns to a dismal 0-7 on the week. Subsequently, they need anything they can to differentiate them. Let Hogan go to work with his legs. That’s a far better option than trying to let him do things with his arm and anything that changes the course would be welcomed at this point in Cleveland.
