    I think when you look at many of the things he does - in that offense it's hard to pull positives from.

    His accuracy is a mechanical issue with his forward arm and the way he cocks his arm.

    Decision making is one of his better attributes. Most of the offense is mirrored on both sides. A lot of the ways the offense got people open are more to do with pre snap judgement and reading the defense.

    His ability to set his feet in a constricted environment is a problem but something he can work on. His accuracy is hi/low not left and right. Mechanic issue that's with his release point and his hi stance. Needs to spread his feet more.

    Running an offense he works best from WITHIN the play. That's what whiz is charged with doing now. Making an offense built around what innate rules that have already been instilled so his transition isn't French.

    Normally he does pro drops during the 2 minute drills (from gun) and they look fine. I don't see him being able to come out and throw for 4000 yards in year one. But a low variance offense with the right scheme to let him make calls at the line to attack a defense like he knows how.

    Number one thing: he can't cave at NFL pressure. As long as that isn't the problem right out of the gate I think he has a shot.

    Ben Roethlisberger was 3rd string initially, as a rookie, but took over almost from the start of the season, in 2004. Ben scored 25 on his Wonderlic. Mariota scored a 33. Ben played for a MUCH smaller program and never against the level of competition, nor in the spotlight, like Mariota did.

    If Whisenhunt can help Ben step up and play, as a rookie, then perhaps that is why he is confident in Mariota being a starter from day 1. He knows he has all the physical tools and the mental acumen needed for the position.

    Well, there only so many comments we can make in grading the draft and complaining about the 4th round picks and Jameis Winston's baggage...

    Well you can tell mariota doesn't have vy level fandom or there would be 100 threads like this.

    Every regular poster knows whis history with qbs and it doesn't stop with roeth and it's not all good.

    But I guess Mary's #1 fanboi needs to feel special with his own boring thread

    Premise of the thread:

    Whisenhunt helped Big Ben.

    Fact that has been ignored: couldn't help any QB in Arizona.
