    It's a hard argument.

    Alex Smith was the first overall pick, played 9 games his rookie year and had 1 TD to 11 INTs.

    Wasn't even till his fourth year he started too look decent, and the team stuck with him.

    Yeah, I know they traded him, but they stuck with their 1st round QB for 7 years and now he is a pretty decent QB.

    I know several SF fans who would rather still have him behind center than Kap.

    Some players take a while for the light to come on, some show flashes in their rookie year or first couple seasons then just flame out.

    I agree. If we're losing, it's probably because we still have the 31st ranked run D and 3 holes on our OL.

    Yeah, but in the NFL you don't have time to sit around and hope a light will come on.

    If it happens for another team- so be it- but you've gotta keep moving in this league.

    BTW, those are real stats as well as wins/losses of a QB you may have heard of and even though it
    Agreed, but most missed it because they are focused on the qb's poor stats...especially at 0-4 with 11 INT's!!! Good pickup!

    I posted those stats...which are REAL btw, because that team had the same tough decision to make but their GM had already decided come hell or high water that they were gonna throw that QB into the deep end and let him fight through it. And I'm pretty sure they are glad they didn't bench him because he turned out pretty darn well. You might have heard of him. His name is Peyton Manning!!!

    Of course I'm not saying Mariota will be that good and there is never a guarantee he wont bust (Winston too) but they took him and now they need to develop him (which is what scares me the most considering what we saw last season)!

    I agree....I do have faith however, mainly because this kid has great instinct and is willing to learn.

    I'm beginning to burn out on all this talk about Mariota. If i keep hearing people obsess over a rookie thats never taken a professional snap.. I'm going to end up hating him.

    I think it's time for me to take my offseason hiatus. See you all again sometime around fall camp. :hang:

    My buddy told me Mariota is the #1 selling jersey right now. True or false?
