Peter King: Titans comfortable taking Mariota, spent more time scouting him than any team

Jon Gruden :I don't understand why he isn't the No. 1 player in this draft on Mel Kiper's Big Board. I don't know anybody in this draft that can do for a football team what Mariota can do. He can read the field. That whole thing about Oregon being a no-huddle, dive-option team, that is just a narrative resulting from a lack of information. The Ducks run a lot of pro-style concepts. Mariota does a lot with the protections. I've seen him throw the ball with touch and timing in tight windows.

Mariota is the same size as Jameis Winston. He runs 4.52 40, he is incredibly elusive, and man, is he a playmaker and a great competitor. I see him functioning in the pocket, out of the pocket, and if you want to run a zone-read, he'll rip the defense apart. He is like Russell Wilson, only he is 6-4.

 

pretty much

 

lmao

 

And he had sex with 520's dog, apparently!

 

chucky falls in love with at least a half dozen QBs every draft.

 

my dog wouldnt let mariota get near her

 

what if he had a dull hammer to use tho?

 

That's why I don't read too much into what Gruden says about these QBs that go through his "camp". He does have some decent breakdowns and evaluations but he isn't gonna say anything bad about any of them either.

 

it cites an article from april 11...just noticed that. but the title is interesting.
