    Marriota didn't play all that bad last night. His WR's dropped some critical passes. He was not the best player on the field as the 30 year tailback from Ohio State looked to be.

    Marriota > Winston. Can't have a rape culture qb in the nil.

    The only thing Mariota is gonna struggle with..... will he be in Pro Bowl year 4 or year 5.

    Maybe in the CFL. Mariota is a project in the NFL, not that there's anything wrong with that.
    A project that will be picked first in the draft.
    Locker was #7 bro. Never forget

    Blake Bortles went third. Teams reach on QB's almost every year.

    Another reason Mariota won't be a bust is that he's going into a fairly good situation. If he was going to Tennessee, he would be fucked. Tampa Bay has some talent on offense (V. Jackson, Evans, ASJ, Martin, Mankins). Their defense has McCoy and David. Lovie Smith might not be a great coach, but he's not a total fucktard either. Tampa Bay plays in what was the worst conference in the NFL. Carolina is the only decent defense in it.

    I hope mariota succeeds. I like him. I just feel like hes going to get blown up. I dont look too deeply into things like others here (would have never noticed the one read deal peple are mentioning) but stuff like that is a concern. But if he keeps his nose in the playbook and is the first guy there and last guy out, which he seems like that kinda kid, he could be good. Lets just hope he puts on some weight. He honestly looks exactly like me, and I can tell you, if I had patrick willis running full speed at me id duck, cover, take my helmet off and walk straight home.

    Everyone is overanalyzing this shit. If he goes to a stubborn franchise where they try to turn him into a pocket passer, he will fail. If he goes somewhere where he can play for a smart OC like Bevell in Seattle who knows how to use his strengths and mask his deficiencies, he will do well.

    Alex Smith, Tim Couch and JaMarcus Russell were all #1

    He's Colin Kaepernick. Great athlete, limited as a pure passer.
    If I were a Tampa bay fan compared to what they have now I would take that
    Jameis will be better early in his career. But if 5 years down the road Marietta can improve his accuracy and a lot of the other things that come with passing in the pocket he can be really good

    But if running QBs who are bigger like Cam Newton and Jake Locker have been repeatedly banged up in their first 5 years in the league, how will Mariota hold up?

    Johnny Manziel might be the best comparison...he played in a very similar offense and while Mariota is a few inches taller, he's more slight of build like Manziel than Newton (massive) and Locker (LB size).
