the haters are probably busy reading Hoges latest comments--- Hoge: Young fourth-best rookie ESPN analyst says Bush a better pick By JIM WYATT Staff Writer Reggie Bush beat out Vince Young for the Heisman Trophy in 2005. ESPN's Merril Hoge said Bush also should've won the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award, which went to Young on Wednesday. Hoge doesn't get a vote. If he did, he said, he would've put Young fourth. "Here's what happens: People vote off what they see on TV, seeing a bunch of highlights. They don't see the entire concept,'' said Hoge, one of Young's harshest critics. "Watching Reggie Bush play three different positions — impacting games as a wide receiver, a running back and on special teams — to me, he had a much better rookie year than Vince Young did.'' From a national panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters, Titans quarterback Young received 23 votes. Saints running back Bush received three, finishing last among those who received votes. Different ballot Hoge said Chicago's Devin Hester, who had six returns for touchdowns (but plays defensive back) deserved second and Saints receiver Marques Colston deserved third. Colston actually finished tied for second behind Young, while Hester did not receive a vote. "Basically (Young) won this off two games — the Buffalo game and the Houston game,'' Hoge said. "I see every snap of every game of every player and Reggie Bush was far superior helping his team. "That team is now in the playoffs with a first-round bye and they're one of the most consistent teams in the NFC and he is one of their most consistent weapons. A few plays don't make the season. "You show a few highlights of (Young) and (voters) see that and remember. When he's 8-of-22 at Philadelphia, they don't show that. You don't see his bad games.'' Young was asked whether he had something to say to Hoge. "I don't know what to say about that guy," Young said Wednesday. "I don't know if I did something to him. I don't know what's going on between me and him, but I hope he gets a better picture of me." Comparing stats Bush rushed for 565 yards and six touchdowns, and led the Saints with 742 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He caught more passes than any rookie in NFL history. Young was 184-of-357 passing for 2,199 yards and 12 touchdowns, with 13 interceptions. He also ran for 552 yards and seven touchdowns. "He got better throughout the year with the things (the Titans) asked him to do," Hoge said. "But when teams controlled the downs and distances on the Titans and forced him to throw … he just can't do that right now. It doesn't mean he's not going to do it, but that is the learning curve.''
