    Chance Warmack ring a bell????....He was the "Best Guard to come out in over a decade". I didn't hate his pick, nor will I hate Williams. I do think Williams can be great, as can Warmack, that said, I get what you mean. I am almost thinking the same way. Will LW really have an impact for us, or is it just smarter to roll the dice and take a potential franchise QB and have him duke it out with Mett? If they make that move, they could use the draft and FA for WR help and other areas. I'm not sure this is what I want, but I can see it happening and I wouldn't be surprised or angry by it.

    Exactly. I mean, we aren't going anywhere until we get a legit franchise QB anyway. I say kept keep swinging until you hit that home run.

    So what makes people think Mariota can be a franchise QB?


    Not trying to derail the thread but I don't get it. I've watched him 100 times the past month. What is anyone seeing that I'm missing?

    I personally don't think that Mariota is amazing either. That said, there is no question that he brings athleticism, a good attitude/leadership and a big ceiling to the table. He certainly offers something we don't have. and the complete opposite of Mett. Sure, he is boring as hell, but I wouldn't hate seeing him next to Mett and have CBJ as the number 3.

    I'd just hate to waste a number two pick on him. This team has so many holes, I think the idea of reaching for a QB is ridiculous. I'd hate to see Mariota behind or in front of Mett.


    Every football player is an athlete. I just question his ability to be an NFL QB and it's getting old hearing we should draft him just because he's a QB.

    Yeah I honestly think given the amount of holes that we have, that a trade back would be the best scenario. If not, then take the BPA and call it a day. If you follow that, you can't really have any regrets. If they take Mariota, I wouldn't be upset, because it's not just about reaching for a QB at this point. Whiz and Webster are in the hot seat in every aspect. Not to mention, they need to fill seats and create a buzz/show that they want to win and fast. Although I think LW is the BPA, he isn't going to get that reaction or create that, whether it is right or wrong doesn't matter. I just think as it gets closer, they may roll the dice more than we think. We have hit rock bottom!

    Whiz isn't in a hot seat. If we fire him, he still gets paid. There's no pressure on him what so ever.

    As for putting fans in the stands, winning does that. If Mariota starts next year and we continue to lose, the stadium will be just as bare as it was last season.


    Mariota isn't what Vincent Young was when he came here. He's not that spectacular and our fan base is wearing thin on QB'S who can run. Or, at least I am.

    Up until last week and after hearing Smith's comments. I think that they will take a run at Suh. If we can by some miracle sign him, that opens up a lot of doors come draft. It will not only confuse everyone that we actually signed a good player, but give us plenty of options. We no longer have to take Williams. We can still draft a QB, we could still take Williams (wouldn't make a lot of sense, but the option will still be there if we put Suh at NT) or we could trade back which would look more likely. I really hope we are able to land Suh. A trade back to pick up Fowler or Dupree turns this D around quickly.

    as you should be, they never really develop that pocket awareness to truly master the position.

    On the other side of things, they also can create something from nothing whereas a real pocket guy will throw the ball away and lose the down...

    The way I look at it is like this; when your legs fail you, can you survive? Cause in about 5-6 years Mariota wont be the same athlete he is today, by that time can he have learned the position well enough to be looked at as only a pocket passer? Best guy to look at is McNair, he did it, why couldn't Mariota?
