Doesn't help him in the comparison between Mariota and Winston that he's not very smart or mature. Mariota is both.
Mariota scored a 33 though and Winston a 27 so he's still smarter than Winston by 22.22222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222%.
It is possible for quarterbacks to regress like Kaepernick, but I can't think of one example of a quarterback that has been as horrible as Winston and turn it around. Winston has been inaccurate, making poor decisions, and not properly checking down his progressions. The passing tree and progression knowledge can be learned, but poor decision making has always been his signature, and at this level, you're either accurate or not.
Mariota won't regress like Kaep. Kaep was so successful at first because his is such a freak athletically that it took teams awhile to game plan for him (after you know they realized he was a fucking retard). MM isn't quite the athlete Kaep is (although really really good in his own right) but what made him an amazing college QB was his decision making. He knew EXACTLY when to throw it down field or take off. I hate the ducks but he was a lot of fun to watch.
Anyway, I'm not saying Winston won't be a bust but I say the jury should still be out since he's only started 4 games.
Unfortunately, #1 picks don't sit a learn. There's too much money and resources invested in them to sit. Jameis is going to have to learn on the fly which is almost impossible, given his current attributes. If he doesn't pick it up soon, he'll lose his confidence, and will more than likely be useless.
I don't think today's franchise has 40 fucking games to give their rather hefty capital investments. You get drafted in the first, especially at that spot, and you gotta play. They even rushed Jack Lardner in even though it was apparent to the whole world he didn't stand a chance.
Whatever else you can say about Mariota, he's doing it with average wide receivers and a shit O-line.
I know he was offered by everyone. It's not that hard for a football recruit to get into Stanford. It does not mean at all that you're smart. You need a low B average at whatever shit Alabama high school you attended, and it won't matter at all what classes you took, and a relatively easy-to-achieve score on the SAT / ACT.
So back to your point: that he was recruited and offered by Furd means absolutely nada about his intelligence.
anyone else, and yeah, they're brilliant.
