The article is interesting.  A deeper analysis of Hogan's game would lead me to be more bullish on his NFL stock than I was a year ago, and his pocket presence is a big part of that.  I can't remember which play it was off the top of my head (I believe Hooper was the receiver), but against Arizona there was one big throw downfield where Hogan had to do some dancing in the pocket and eventually climb the pocket and make the throw.  His eyes stayed downfield, he never seemed to glance at the oncoming pressure.  I was very, very impressed, and I'm positive scouts were too.

I think that play was to Cajuste and I thought the same thing at the time - he was on the move, but his footwork was really precise, and he threw a laser into a tight spot.  Still a lot left in the season, but if the draft were being held today I no longer see Hogan as UFA.
