    watch him in the nfl then well talk

    he only threw like 3 or 4 routes


    again, if you really think mariota can make evey nfl throw you are tripping.

    if mariota had as good throwing skills as mett even hed be the undisputed #1 pick and beter than luck. hes got the speed, got the work ethic, the brains. hes missing something....its his throwing capabilities.

    Give me just one definitive answer as to why hell bust...

    With Manziel and Gabbert it was obvious, what flaw do you see in Mariotas game?

    Oh cause he was a good college QB

    You suck!

    he isnt very accurate. evidenced by his wr always having to adjust to the pass, and only being able to because they run play action 50 plus percent of the time. wht would they do that? to hide passing deficiencies.

    his redzone comp. % dips almost 30% and guess why because in the redzone the field is tighter and its extremely hard to get guys open by 5 plus yards, like they usually are.

    hes never had to really read a defense. yes he makes read options, but nothing close to nfl level consistently.

    history...historically qbs like him fail. and if you wanna use the "historically 6 round qbs are **** and never do a thing" argument against mett then the same historical analysis applies to mariota.

    if he was a third round pick, id be like, ok cool lets see if he develops.

    not ever gonna prove worthy of a top 10 pick

    Ok so you're telling us that a QB who matches Aaron Rodgers in redzone completion percentage can't be the 2nd overall pick?

    Just the fact it's even possible for him to drop to that low a percentage is amazing.

    does aaron rodgers drop that much?

    no its not. johnny manziel, colt mccoy, colt brennan, all had near the same or better college comp. %. not amazing.

    No Rodgers doesn't drop that drastically, no one can. I think you're missing a major point here. Who else is even sniffing 80% completion rate outside the redzone?

    Fact of the matter is he's so good outside that space that of course he's going to drop some. But he drops to where good QB's are performing.

    On his worst day he's good. That's an impressive statement to be able to make. Winston is always 50-65% passing, that's what anyone worthwhile does, but Mariotas top end percentage like you said is nearly 80%.

    Very very shortsighted to think they're equals

    You saying noone has that good of % but the fact is many many bums do.


    actually this site says mariotas career comp. % is 68. so he still dropes over 20% which is significant, and hes nowhere near the 80% in the open field.

    Career Leaders and Records for Pass Completion Percentage | College Football at Sports-Reference.com

    but point stands. look at all those bums with great %'s. without even looking id say its hard to find someone who drops off 20 plus % in the red zone.

    So to be on the same page you're saying any QB who's offense makes the most of the extra space in the college game can't play in the nfl?
