    That sounds about right, but despite sloppy footwork he's still mostly on the money. Thats a part of why I was so high on him, even when he's doing things wrong he's still able to make it work...

    To a degree yes. I'm afraid to see him against NFL pressure with similar issues tho. It might make it worse.

    I've made the mistake before thinking mechanic/accuracy issues can't be fixed. They can. His arnt extreme. Not fatal issues.

    Exactly. Vince Young's accuracy dramatically improved in his last two seasons here. Never thought that would have happened.

    We're tailoring our offense to suit Mariota, that means we'll set him up with the throws he likes like; stops, comebacks, skinny posts, and wheel routes... Im sure the goal is to set him up to do what he likes... You most likely will never know what he's actually bad at..

    So Winston actually threw a few number of 'NFL throws' (11-20 yards)
    Locker couldn't even hit a wide open WR

    Lol. I was never a believe in Locker so not sure why you referenced him. Winston made throws in tight windows with people all around his feet and body. He made throws similar to how Andrew Luck makes throws when he's getting hit. You need to be able to do that to be successful. I'm afraid every time Mariota gets pressure in the pocket he is going to panic.

    Haven't watched much Oregon tape then huh... Mariota slide steps and climbs the pocket like a champ...

    If he is completing a high % of passes, then the ball placement must not be that terrible. I realize that placement is more than just completing passes, but he is getting it to his guys more often than the other 2 QBs at the deeper range.

    Not saying you aren't right. Not saying he can't improve ... just saying I don't think it is that big of a concern.

    Once again, we have to look really hard to find flaws with Mariota ... that is a good thing

    The locker reference wasn't necessarily directed towards you ... your post just brought up the thought.
