    Just playing devils advocate here, but is Mariota truly a "mobile QB" or are we just putting him in that category because of the system he played in?

    It would scare me to draft him, let me preface this by saying that. But, to me he's a smart kid with a strong arm and good accuracy who happens to be a great athlete that can run. I think as well as he learned the Oregon system, he could learn another system just as easily. If you take away the large amounts of running he did and just watch his play from the pocket or plays when he's escaping pressure and finding an open receiver, he really reminds me of Aaron Rodgers. Not saying he will be or is AR, but his style reminds me of him.

    If you can't find 2-3 things horribly wrong with his thread, there's no hope for you.

    anytime your playbook calls for a QB-option as a play multiple times a game, youre a mobile QB

    I hope we take him and he has success under Whiz to prove that all you couch GM, wannabe bloggers, Monday morning quarterbacks completely wrong.

    Y'all act like Whiz is retarded enough to take a QB like Mariota and not adapt the system and let him grow in it.

    He ain't going to throw a phone book sized playbook at the kid and say good luck.

    That is the Oregon offense, not Marcus Mariota.

    If we start beating up every kid that comes out of that offense in college the pro QB pool is going to shrink way more than it already has.

    The league has already began to adapt.

    Adapt or die.

    Peyton Mannings and Tom Bradys are becoming more and more rare. Once a decade or so.

    Russell Wilson, Cam Newton, Marcus Mariota types are every few years.
