    QB's dont grow on trees like every other position, mariota is already ahead of the curve as a rookie, IDK how you dont see that

    Multiple first-round picks plus a #1 overall QB. At least get the details right if you want to call me an idiot.

    I'm probably still an idiot, but it's closer than you're making it seem.

    Where did I say I don't see it? I love Mariota as a player and as a prospect.

    What I'm trying to drill down to is how much everyone loves him. Do we love him so much we can't convince ourselves to love Goff (or whoever), multiple first-round picks and some really good players just as much?

    If you think Mariota is a Hall of Famer, clearly you don't make the trade.

    As much as I like Mariota, I'm still open to the idea that he might only be pretty good and not necessarily great.

    This time last year, we already knew the class had 2 dominant QB's that would likely go 1-2. Winston, Mariota. This class is a little less crystal clear. Still lots of questions about Goff, Lynch, Cook. I don't see a slam dunk #1 QB. This ain't Luck, Winston, Mariota or even Cam Newton. It is a massively stupid roll of the dice that would be unquestionably be the worst decision this franchise ever made, and that's saying something, because this franchise is pretty real dumb.

    FWIW Ive only been seriously scouting college QB's for 5 years now, and in that time 5 have really stood out in their tape as being future HoFer's. Newton, Luck, RG3, Bridgewater and now Mariota.... Other than RG3 I like all of those names for the HoF consideration in about 20 years..

    There is absolutely no chance Id ever swap what we have now for Paxton Lynch or Jared Goff..

    I'm 100% with you that it's not an idea you would even consider unless you really loved one of the QB prospects coming out this year.

    I think we're jumping the gun a little to say that none of the QBs this year can hold Mariota's jock, but perhaps not.

    How did Mariota do on the board when you interviewed him?

    Well then the Titans better not trade him. What kind of idiot would propose that?
