How many qbs that depend on their legs last in the NFL.... none Kapernick, Newton and Wilson are being exposed this year without an elite defense Winston is an ANdrew Luck type of talent, that can carry a team... hes doing it right now in college... Mariota loses to mediocre teams like arizona in his own house.... also mariota is injury prone

I just don't think that Mariota's game will translate to the NFL. For him to be successful, he will have to be drafted by a team that's a perfect fit. Oregon's playbook is the smallest in college football, Mariota's learning curve will therefore be extensive. Winston will probably suck too though, so I'm betting they both bust.

It's tough as obviously both are talented players. I think Mariota is more careful with the ball, but he reminds me too much of Manziel on how quickly he abandons the throw for the scramble. Winston has great arm strength and uses his mobility mostly to keep plays alive and always keeps his eyes down field. Also like Manziel, I think he could be one of the greats in the NFL if he can keep his nose clean.

He is the superior player and the superior person. The steelers should look at Winston ... that way they can groom the next rapist behind their current rapist.
ReplyWinston is a headcase. No way he will have a better career.
ReplyAccurate, elusive, and is patient in the pocket. He's not afraid to move between his progressions, and in the end, he sure can run.
ReplyFootwork, footwork, footwork. You cannot be accurate without footwork. You cannot be successful without footwork. Sorry Blake Bortles, but footwork is better than being 6'5" and 235 pounds with a cannon with no aim. Mariota will be a Pro Bowl caliber player in his very first season. That's why I voted for him, he's a fluffier version of Andrew Luck.

ReplyMariota has better mechanics and probably has a better work ethic as opposed to the guy that looks like he's whipping a 100 MPH fastball and runs like he's had too many crab legs. Seriously, who yells "F her right in the .."
ReplyDespite all of Winston's talent, I cannot see him staying out of trouble and becoming a successful leader in today's NFL.
