    I agree with most of this no doubt. We do not know how great Mariota will be, but that holds true for all of the draft picks. Fortunately for you, I believe the Titans will take him if they don't get a good trade. He just has too much potential and would help with the FO jobs. Fan base, and the team in general. They will warm up to him the closer the draft comes IMO. I honestly think LW being mocked so much in the drafts is ridiculous. I believe they may even take an OLB or receiver before him.

    I don't expect anyone in the 5th round to be a Franchise QB. Please show me where I said that so I can edit it.....

    Also, if someone only drafts a QB with the expectation of them being the Franchise QB then that's bad IMO.

    where do the scouts scout from?

    theres no way scouts can cover everyone eligible in the draft, they also make decisions while sitting on their ass

    I'm no scout, but I know one thing....This franchise needs a spark and some life. I personally like LW, but he isn't going to provide that here, even if he is a stud like JJ Watt (which he isn't). We need some weapons, and to establish the run. Fix the run and the line, and things fall into place MUCH faster.

    LW is better than Watt at this same point in their careers. JJ Watt was an after thought in 2011, LW could possibly go No.1

    Welcome to the club @Finnebosch

    If it wasn't for the Titans getting burned by VY and Locker, the wagon would be almost full. Funny enough, Mariota brings the positives of the two former guys but not the risks. We want to be relevant and exciting again but we want a guy who will be a leader and who has the attitude and demeanor of a franchise QB, ding ding Mariota.

    Mariota of course has some risks, so does everyone else, but I think it's a little overblown. The main worry should be his pocket presence and if he can make every throw in the NFL. There are some routes he struggles with, hopefully his game can progress enough to be able to make every throw confidently. As for pocket presence, he doesn't run the ball as much as Vick but he does take off a lot. His OL was pretty poor but I don't want him to be a guy that takes off at the first sight of trouble. In the NFL he's going to have to hang in there a little bit longer. No QB should be taking 20-25 hits a game and expect to play the whole season.

    Not sure this is true. Did you not see Mariota's pro day? When he's not in his little bubble out of shotgun his mechanics are wrong, his accuracy is worse, and his timing will 100% be off due to simply not playing in an NFL style offense. I am not anxious to see that up close in camp.

    I still believe he makes a good QB, but there's going to be major growing pains IMO.

    I think at this point I want LW over MM
