    Until Jimmy G plays a full year he shouldn't be on this list. Definitely not @8!

    Cam....bump him down too

    Luck is overrated

    Lose the boner for him and Jimmy G

    Tell you what:

    If you think passer rating is a bad way to measure QBs- cite me ANY year where the top 10 in passer rating weren't essentially understood as the better QBs in the league...


    It's funny how passer rating only becomes a "bad way to determine" when someone is upset that it doesn't benefit a player they're emotionally high on.

    If he "only declined by a little" in 2017... then we can go ahead and knock him out of the discussion entirely. He was awful in 2017. I'm hoping that was a terrible year for him and a major decline. Or else we need to look elsewhere. Now.

    I don't agree with his take on rating but it doesn't take into account running.

    it doesn't take into account anyone else's running either so it's fair. It takes into account his passing ability which is what we need from him, and wasn't he on one leg most of the season anyway? His rushing numbers were a steep decline from 2016 too.

    Not everyone runs the same, so no, that's not fair.
    Pretty sure cam newton brings value to an offense because he can run that Tom Brady doesn't.

    I'm not defending or attacking Mariota on this. He's got 3 seasons down. This last season wasn't as successful as the previous. Plenty of factors to consider.

    All things considered, I feel pretty comfortable putting him in the 11-15 group. If we are only comparing passing stats, that may change (or at least other QBs would be looked at differently)

    Jimmy G a top 10 QB? Absoutely laughable.

    Cam is a freak, Flota gets hurt in non-contact runs. I think we need to stop looking at Mariota as a runner and focus more on his improvement as a passer.

    Unless you like him injured all the time.

    He's fast and can run, he needs to use that. Time of when and appropriateness to avoid hits is always part of that equation.

    Has he been hurt while running? He broke his leg in the pocket. Can't say when he hurt his hammy.

    Point is, some of the best QBs to play the game ran and ran well, Steve young, john elway, fran tarkenton, our own Steve McNair (not necessarily an all time great), Randall Cunningham, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Donovan mcnabb.

    He still needs to improve his passing game, but using his running game is valuable.
    This list is also why you don't just go by rating when comparing QB's. You have to rank their ability to run as well.

    Since this isn't a historical argument (current NFL QB), then looking at rating alone discredits good QBs and would put them farther down the list than they should be.

    Still stand by my statement 11-15. He's got room to go up, but he's far from the worst.
