    Tony Romo went undrafted. As did Kurt Warner. Just for recent qbs

    No, that's a bunch of BS. Plenty of people had Mett going early to mid rounds before his positive test.

    You keep throwing this 'positive test' around like you know what you are talking about.

    Mett never tested positive, he had a diluted sample, which is a gigantic difference. No team is going to let what they *might* think is a franchise QB drop to the 6th round because of a diluted test.

    No matter, Mett wasn't a second, third, or even a forth round pick. He was a sixth.

    Mariota isn't can newton. Cam wae a unanimous #1 pick. Mariota ain't a lock to go top 5 when a "qb needy team with only a sixth round pick backup and cbj" on the team. Wanna know why? Cuz he isn't an NFL qb but he runs real fast so a teams gonna take a chance.

    That can't be further from the truth. He failed his drug test. That is a fact. Whether or not he officially tested positive for pot is irrelevant.

    Plenty of players have fallen in the draft due to failed drug tests. Gregory was projected top 5 before his drug test. Now many are saying he is likely has fallen out of the 1st round competely.

    And regardless of any of that, where you are drafted has no correlation in regards to actual talent or ceiling. Brady was a 6th rounder. Romo wasn't drafted. Neither was Warner. Richard Sherman was a 5th rounder.

    LOL!!! I see...Mariota isn't comparable to Cam Newton...because you say he's not? Care to make an actual point besides your overall opinion?

    As I said before, they came from the same type of system, both have NFL size, both have good arms, and both had the same questions coming out of college projecting a spread QB to a pro style offense. The only difference you can show me is that Cam is 20lbs heavier and Mariota is faster. Mariota threw better than Cam at the combine.

    System QB's, look at numbers , TD's and Int's. Compare Mariota and Newton. Yes they ran a system not pro style in college. How Has Newton done? Some say good some say bad. Mariota college profile much better than Newton's.
