    Cooper or White alone may not add many wins. But IF Cooper/White live up to their draft spot AND Mett takes a big step forward then now we're on to something.

    Whatever though. I'm trying to not get my hopes up because I'm almost always disappointed with our first round picks but at the same time we have the #2 selection so it's tough not to get super invested.

    also do yall not remember how mett got hurt.... onlny a guy named jj watt pretty much blasted through untouched and illegally drove him into the ground for no reason other than to hurt him. how many qbs could go through that unscathed?? and then he came back early trying to be tough and reinjured that same injury i believe.


    i dont think that makes him some injury prone loser. and his injuy in college came after getting sacked like ten times in a row. these aint like jake locker injuries. i doubt he gets hurt next year.

    A year 1 Mariota in the best transition possible (with gruden or Kelly running his offense) is a 3200/800 16 td/10 int 8 fumbles 6-10 season imo.

    And his limited ability gets closed in on in year two and fades out a la RG3.

    He's qb purgatory and frankly we are better off waiting and seeing what Mett has with a revamped Offense and a second year under his belt.

    I like mett but my concern is he has limited mobility. He does have a cannon arm though. But he is limited with his mobility. With the blitzes and attention to pass rush , that is a big concern.

    did you know both mett and mariota get sacked basically the same amount of time when theres presssure (24% vs 23%)

    crazy how such a statue is just as good at not getting sacked as the ultra athlete man of the year mariota

    Nobody knows what one can do in their first year. Nobody . Big Ben had a great first year and didn't he play from shotgun in college? Everything in this draft process and what one can or should do is speculation. Yes Locker had good attitude, work ethic, and such but was inaccurate in college. And he ran with abandonment . That is an injury waiting to happen. Mariota doesn't run like that . Mariota was very accurate in college. But again this whole process is speculation .

    mariotas college stats and accuracy literally mean jack**** with the system hes from.


    did you know his accuracy dropped to below 45% in the redzone, when coverage is tighter like it will be in the nfl. the rest of the time with wide open wr's yea hes accurate...who couldnt be.


    and i love how people think mariotas like other shotgun qbs....people dont second guess his system because its all shotgun. they do because its over 50% play action and ran with greater athletes than the other team has, with very little if any reads made by the qb.

    if you watch oregon you notice mariota turning his back to the d pre snap and gettting signals from coaches...not him reading the d and making adjustments

    Ultimately, this is what I am afraid of. I see a Young/RG3/Kaep type scenario easily unfolding with him. However, he has always been a much better passer than all 3 of them.

    With that being said, I think Mariota has done all the right things to make him the best QB prospect in this draft.

    I am not a fan of Cooper, and I'd much prefer White over him. We just can't go into next year with practically the same offense as we did last year. We need a few people to break out. I am not counting on those being Hunter or Sankey. Would love to see Mett with White, as I think he is the type of player to really complement each other.

    its debatable if he is a much better passer, only nfl reps will show that. ok maybe i can say hes better than suck ass kaepernick at throwing cuz kaep is straight hot garbage
