Mariota to struggle in the NFL?

Yet Stephen A. Smith said Cardale Jones could start right now in the NFL.

The world is nuckin futs.

In Stephen A FS's defense, Cardale does have some Big Ben in him.

I support OUR 3rd string QB.

Daunte Culpepper - better comparison.

Peoplein the sports world are starting to ponder if Mariota take the Matt Leinart route. Come back for a 5th year already graduated, fuck a different Grade A pussy every night, and take a big insurance policy out. The big difference is he's already played 3 whole years in college and most guys who come back for a 5th year won't be turning down a 1st round draft pick 2 years in a row by doing so. Oregon has a ton of juniors that could potentially go pro, especially on defense. If Mariota chooses to come back I think a lot of them will as well. We shall see.

More like JaMarcus Russell

His best attribute is finding open receivers on the run. If he can find a way to remain mobile without getting banged up everytime an NFL lineman drives his shoulder into the ground (lol) he could be a decent QB. All stars point to him flaming out though - He'll be drafted in the top 2 which means he will be going to a shit organization with no offensive line to give him time in the pocket.

He could easily fail... But he will still go high 1st round in the NFL draft. For some reason teams still gamble high draft picks on QB's... LRR

Yeah it was easy to hate Mastoli and D. Thomas but Mariota is a good kid.

I'm sure Kawasaki, Chode, and Jimmy Lake were watching tOSU for keys on how to pummel the Dook System in the future. Gotta get more and better horses though, 2 to 3 deep at each level of the D.

It's too bad the strength of our D will probably be the secondary first and then the LB corp since the DL is being entirely rebuilt. I like Qualls at NT and Mathis at DE but the DT position could be a problem (Dissly or Tupou) and the depth is unknown.

He seems like a great kid, humble and competitive. I'm glad he won the Heisman, but the truth is he's a system quarterback playing in a league that doesn't play competitive defense. He'll get destroyed in the NFL.

Did Tupou even play this year?

A little.

Quality depth really is the key for the Huskies and not just on defense. Sark left a strikingly shallow team. Praise be PatHadenFS. That has left a lot of opportunity for young players, it's just up to Peterman and co. to get them up to speed quickly and finish washing the Sark stench off the program.

Some numb nut said he wanted the Oregon offense.

Fuck that.

I want the defense that stops the Oregon offense and last night proved why.

When I told a colleague I thought Oregon would be held to 16 points he laughed ... in my
FACE!

Well who's laughing now mother fucker ... well him ... because Oregon scored 20 ... but you get my point.

An average offense who doesn't turn the ball over wins 24-13 (hi @TierbsHsotBoobs‌) last night.

Pretty funny link I saw from your TMZ link.

At least 30% of these fans need to be drawn and quartered for lookingFS:

I'm 81% sure that Matt Leinart stayed for his 5th year because he was able to conveniently mask the fact that he needed some sort of surgery (knee I think) which would have been discovered at combine physicals and affected his draft status with a bunch of "rah, rah, staying in skool is awesome!" crap. Just ask Matt Barkley or Jake Lockner about the financial wisdom of waiting an extra year to enter the draft when perfectly healthy.

It turns out that the "hang out a year and fuck coeds" part of Matt's plan ended up working out a little too well, just ask Blake Griffin

I don't see Mariota failing. He may not be a star, but he has too much talent and too good of work ethic to completely fail. At minimum he will be an above average QB.

He's really fast and mostly accurate. With reps he will learn how to be an NFL QB.

While Mariota is a good kid, I think he'll wash out in the pros. He may be more accurate than Jack but that's not saying much, plus Jack had more of a cannon. Mariota is faster and smarter than Jack too, but he likely faces the same issues as rg3 and kaepernick in staying healthy and actually knowing how to be a threat throwing the fucking football.
