Duck reminds me of a young Brett Favre.
Ok smart ass! Brett Favre was a nobody drafted by Atlanta. So there is that and Hodges hasn't got the chance to air it out and prove himself yet like Favre did. Brett was also a int king and think Duck could be that as well! Ps. sorry you missed the boat on Hodges and didn't pay attention to him in preseason.
I think Hodges should grow a beard and send dick pics to cheerleaders on his phone. You know who else had a beard and sent dick pics? BRETT FAVRE!
See you Space Cowboy ...
Funny you should say that. Duck did have the chance to air it out and prove himself in the preseason. He threw floaters. Same thing when you go back and look at his college highlights.
Mojo is correct on that point; Duck doesn't have Favre's rocket arm. Doesn't mean he can't be a successful QB, but comparing him to Favre is over the top IMO.

OK, but maybe next time you could check some facts if you don't know. Like how Favre wasn't a "nobody", but rather the first pick of the second round in the draft. So comparing him to Hodges that wasn't picked in the draft isn't anywhere close to being true.
I know you like the guy and have since the preseason, but the reality is that even in the preseason he completed only 52% of his passes and averaged 5 yards per completion, against mostly 3rd string defenders. So Favre like gunslinger could be conceived as a bit of a stretch. It could be similar to me saying that Benny Snell reminds me of a young Franco Harris.
I knew who Favre was and had his rookie card back then. Me saying he was a nobody is he was not starting in Atlanta and if they thought so highly of him they wouldn't have traded him. He was a nobody while in Atlanta. Benny Snell reminds me of Franco later in his career when he would fall over for a yard lol.
Is Hodges a borderline alcoholic with a blossoming pill addiction? Because it was that partying lifestyle and lack of work ethic that played a massive part of Favre being traded out of Atlanta.
Glanville once claimed it would take a plane crash for Favre to see the field.
Hodges reminds me more of Colt Brennan than Brett Favre in terms of football ability. Although hopefully his off-the-field life is more like the reverse of that, pills and dick pics notwithstanding. (For that, he can just change them to duck pics and be fine.)
See you Space Cowboy ...
Any comparison of Duck to a HoF QB after 1 preseason limited view and 1 NFL start is extremely premature and is going to be picked apart mercilessly. There are things about his game I liked. There are also things that were less than impressive. Hopefully Rudolph is back after the bye for Miami. Although it may take starting Lynch to actually see some downfield accuracy.
The sad part is that may still mean that the original statement is true. Hodges and Rudolph haven't hit anything that far downfield.

Can you imagine if any of this came out nowadays? An alcoholic QB who the front office drafted over the protests of the coaching staff. A coach who buried the guy on the depth chart and then bet pre-game that he could do tricks?
Oooohhhhhh booooy!
Here are 3 TD's put on film that show good downfield accuracy.
