ARIZONA CARDINALS

Analyst thinks Blaine Gabbert and Cam Newton not what Arizona Cardinals need

Mar 31, 2011, 3:33 PM | Updated: 4:41 pm

If you think the Arizona Cardinals should draft Blaine Gabbert or Cam Newton with the No. 5 overall pick in this year’s NFL draft, you might want to think again. That is if you put much stock into what ESPN NFL analyst Merril Hoge has to say.

Hoge isn’t exactly what you’d call a fan of either player and he isn’t afraid to voice his disdain for their games.

“If [Blaine Gabbert] goes in the top 10 I think he’s going to be a bust,” he told Sports 620 KTAR’s Gambo and Ash Thursday.

He didn’t pull any punches when it came to Newton either.
