Comparing Hogan to Mettenberger may make some sense on those statistics, but they are totally different players.  Mettenberger lacks functional mobility and has a big arm for the deep ball, but poor accuracy.  Hogan is athletically gifted but has some throwing issues as well.

I compared them partly because a couple of their seasons were eerily similar statistically, but also because of where they are similar and where they differ.
Both are big guys - Mettenberger bigger.
Both have good long balls - probably Mettenberger better but it is a Hogan strength.
Both have had accuracy issues at times.
Neither throw the ball a lot in college, relatively speaking.
But, one key difference is Hogan can move and Mettenberger can't. That's worth something.
And of course another - Hogan's throwing motion is far messier. 

Sorry but Hogan will be lucky to be drafted at all.  Yes he's been the QB for a lot of victories, but Stanford didn't win a single game last season where he threw more than 25 passes. 

LSU won twice in 2013 with him throwing 30 passes (ok one was 29) - TCU & Miss St.

Games in which the winning QB threw over 25 passes.
Hogan in 2014
vs Army 20-28, vs UW 17-26, vs WSU 23-35, vs OSU 18-27
Mettenberger in 2013
vs TCU 16-32, vs Miss State 25-29
