    The sentence before read...IF he messes up we'd be screwed (no pun intended). If he was found guilty, that's exactly what the headline would read right after he was suspended for the year (or worse) by the commish!

    First, compare him to Mariota in terms of off the field baggage. Are they comparable? No. Mariota is clean with no problems and when you're looking for someone to be the face of a billion+ dollar company, an immature guy is not what comes to mind. Is stealing crab legs the worst thing in the world? No, but again, shows his level of immaturity.

    The larger points are, he's immature and acts out off the field. And that's when he's never lost a game. How is he gonna take getting beaten up both physically and in the press when he throws 4 picks and his NFL team isn't good enough to help him lead the comeback victory. That WINNER label rubs off pretty fast and people will start replacing it with the word BUST pretty fast even if it's unfair. How's that immature guy gonna react then?

    Second, he's on a decent team? Their OL is the best in college football...period. They have a great WR and a great TE...both will go in the first 3 rounds of the NFL draft. On defense they have 2 DL who will go in the first 2-3 rnds, good LB's, a 1st rnd CB, a 2nd or 3rd rnd S and one of the best young S's in college football. That team is STACKED and arguably the best on college football. Only Alabama compares in NFL talent. When Winston is clicking on all cylinders, yes, he makes them better and they are the best team in college football. When he's not, the TEAM is what is allowing them to come back from Winston's mistakes.

    Lastly, is he playing at the level of a 1st or 2nd pick in the draft? Look at his play against the best 5 defenses he played this year and tell me how he did...top 5 pick???

    Helps if you read the sentence before which read..."IF he messes up..."

    More importantly, I dont assume he did it and I dont assume he didn't. I wasn't there and neither were you which makes me question anyone who says they know he did it or know he didn't....you can't possibly know.

    His off-field incidents are a giant red flag and each team will do it's investigations. What we DO know is that he is immature off the field and has done thing unbecoming the face of an NFL franchise. And while these are factors in any draft evaluation, his on field performance (positive and negative) will also have a large impact on his draft position.

    We can go back and forth all day about his immaturity ( not say I disagree with you, but I think its much less of an issue), but one thing we can agree on is he's either the 1st or 2nd best qb in this draft. Mariota is more than likely going 1st either via trade or to tb. That leaves us with winston, our team will be horrible again if we don't take him at 2. We can go d and we will still suck. There is no guarantees in the nfl, we could wait til next year, but who's to say how those guys will pan out. Between winston and mariota, imo we don't have a choice but to take one of them. Imo winston will be the better pro, he reminds me a lot of big ben/mcnair.
