    So I found these weird fumble stats about these 3 guys, Mariota had 10 and 9 in his 2 years.

    Eli Manning had 11 then 7 the last 2 years.
    Carson Palmer had 6 2 years ago then (sorry to pop the bubble) LED THE LEAGUE with 14 fumbles last year.

    Ah. Fair enough on that front. Kudos.

    Both are still better passers than Mariota and no one outside of the Titans fanbase would consider Mariota better.

    To be fair you left out a pretty important statistic... pass attempts. if statistically speaking you think manning is better than mariota you can't just leave 150 extra pass attempts out and compare yards and TDs directly... that's pretty stupid analysis.

    150 less pass attempts and mariota has the same touchdowns, without sterling shepard or OBJ. Even if you give mariota less than his avg/att he'd have thrown for close to 4500 yards with those 150 attempts. difference is titans want to run the ball and we will likely see similar splits in 2017. If you compare QBs in completely different systems you can't leave out important statistics.

    Side note, OBJ was #7 in YAC, 500+ he alone had more than the entire titans receiving core combined.

    I'd probably put mariota at 10th or 11th, mariota played statistically at a top 10 level after week 4. Got his bad out early and put together a good season, it's not saying too much to think he would continue to play at a high level after adding eric decker and corey davis.

    Manning has been rough in recent years. But that line and running game are garbage. I'd personally pick Mariota and it wouldn't be close.

    I say 12th, better thank Dak and Winston but not better than anyone else above him...

    Not to knock in Dak, but it's tough to have him that high when he has maybe a top 5 WR, a top 3RB, a top 5 OL. He may be good, but I think a lot of people are putting the cart before the horse.

    Eh... I just can't compare a rookie to a vet.

    Remember that time Kapernick took the 49ers to the Super Bowl?

    Need more than 1 season, in my opinion anyway.

    I'm a big Marcus homer but based on achievement alone, I'm not sure he should be ranked ahead of those who are ahead of him. He has some work to do. I would put him ahead of Winston and Prescott due to being biased that he's the best young qb out there. But you can also make a case for both of them to be ahead of him.
