    Serious question. Whats it gonna take for Mariota to be as good as Tom Brady? This guy is going to his 7th Super bowl appearance. Some things just dont seem fair.​

    Well considering no one else has been to 7 SB's it's probably highly unlikely Mariota or anyone else is the next Brady for a long time. The Patriots have a combination of coaches and players that has just worked. Plus some luck along the way... Not something that is likely to happen, even with a great QB...there are a lot of things that have to go right.

    Mariota isn't gay so I would say zero chance...

    I can be patient.
    I have to remind myself that Mariota just finished his sophomore season. He is only 23 years old but he doesnt play like it.

    LOL, yeah, he can be co-greatest player of all time. That's a reasonable expectation.

    Guys, we'll all be a lot happier if we just hope for a playoff win. Then hope for a Super Bowl. Just one.

    Comparing the Titans to the Patriots will only lead to depression.

    Interesting. Here is Tom Brady's scouting report


    Tom Brady Positives: Good height to see the field. Very poised and composed. Smart and alert. Can read coverages. Good accuracy and touch. Produces in big spots and in big games. Has some Brian Griese in him and is a gamer. Generally plays within himself. Team leader.

    Negatives: Poor build. Very skinny and narrow. Ended the '99 season weighing 195 pounds and still looks like a rail at 211. Looks a little frail and lacks great physical stature and strength. Can get pushed down more easily than you'd like. Lacks mobility and ability to avoid the rush. Lacks a really strong arm. Can't drive the ball down the field and does not throw a really tight spiral. System-type player who can get exposed if he must ad-lib and do things on his own.

    Summary: Is not what you're looking for in terms of physical stature, strength, arm strength and mobility, but he has the intangibles and production and showed great Griese-like improvement as a senior. Could make it in the right system but will not be for everyone.

    It's possible but highly unlikely. It's not just Tom Brady it's the organization in which no sports franchise has ever seen anything like it. Putting a team together of 80 players with a salary cap to stop you from absolutely loading up and still winning for almost 20 years is amazing.

    Oh yeah, I forgot to add that in pretty sure that Tom and Bill most likely sold their sole to the devil.
