First, Jacksonville sucks. If the NFL contracted, and the Jaguars no longer existed, I'm not sure anyone would care.

 

Seriously.

Setting up with Winston next year, thats smart to look towards the future.

You are spending your time scouring the bowels of the internet trying to find mock drafts of the vast minority that doesn't have him going to us.

 

You need friends.

I think most intelligent Jaguars fans do. Some like Flgators want to be unique snowflakes and root for the second guy. Or in his case...Aaron Murray.

Not really, just google nfl mock draft and it will be the first one to pop up.

I think I might have to move McCarron over Murray over the last few weeks even though Murray's offense is depleted.

McCarron has always been rated over Murray.

Quote:Zach McCrite, a former sports talk radio host here in the Louisville area and current post-game host for the St. Louis Rams, recently spoke to an NFL agent about Bridgewater’s pro prospectus.



“He’s got the swagger and the brains of an RG3,” the agent tells McCrite. “He’s number one overall among all quarterbacks and then there’s a considerable drop off after that. Charlie Strong loves him and NFL people really respect Charlie Strong.”

Not sure I agree with the RG3/brains comparison. More like Alex Smith when it comes to dissecting the defense and making the smart play/right read.


Also the obligatory jab at the Jags at the end which I won't post.

I don't go by ratings

I have been believing that for a few weeks, nothing Mariota has shown makes me think he is remotely close to Bridgewater as a passer.

McCarron was garbage last week. Worst YPC I have ever seen.

Quote:The 6-foot-4, 212-pound Mariota is the physical prototype for today's up-tempo offenses. Possessing a combination of agility, straight line speed and a rocket of a right arm, Mariota has earned comparisons from scouts to San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick.


Frankly, the Oregon signal-caller is further along than Kaepernick was at a similar point in his collegiate career at Nevada.Unlike Kaepernick, whose baseball-like delivery played a role in his lasting until the second round, Mariota is technically sound. He has an efficient set-up, setting his feet quickly, keeping his shoulders square and delivering the ball with a tight, over-the-top release. Best of all, the football simply explodes out of Mariota's hand.


There is no denying that Mariota -- like previous Oregon quarterbacks -- is significantly aided by the Ducks' spread offense. Creative scheming and the Ducks' talent at the skill positions routinely leaves Mariota wide-open receivers from which to choose from. As such, scouts are left to largely ignore his 68.5 completion percentage and instead appreciate Mariota's uncommon ball-placement, which gives his targets the opportunity to run after the catch.

Perhaps that might explain his high YAC? Something that a lot of quarterback's lack "uncommon ball placement".

I'd rather take Teddy's uncommon ball placement, which actually occurs when facing tight coverage downfield.

Yes. It is his fantastic ball placement on screens and swings that leads to it. Not the Oregon offense around him.

 

Lol.

 

Stop trying to RG3 Mariota. RG3 wasn't on Luck's level, and Mariota will never be on Bridgewater's level. Deal with it.

I'm not trying to do anything. I like Bridgewater and I like Mariota too as pro prospects. I'm willing to explore and be open minded about the 2 best draft eligible QBs this year.


This time last year Geno Smith was a sure fire top 10 pick. Then the losses started piling up and his stock started tumbling too. Its too early in the college season to say for sure Bridgewater or Mariota aren't headed down the same path. Mariota hasn't played against a real NFL type defense yet (but Stanford is coming up soon) and Bridgewater won't face a real test THIS YEAR until bowl season.


It doesn't hurt to continue doing research on both prospects and even expanding that to all QBs draft eligible right up until the draft. That way you don't look like a fool who pigeonholed yourself for the first prospect you saw if he doesn't continue playing at a high level.

I don't get it. All of a sudden where is this Marcus Mariota fever comes from? Is it because Louisville just lost to UCF? Well, TB played a good game in a losing effort. Or is it because didn't perform lights out against Rutgers two weeks ago?

Quote:Its funny when a guy that writes for an Arizona Cardinals paper, takes a pot-shot at the Jaguars...is he blind to the fact of how irrelevant the Arizona Cardinals are to the NFL world??

Ahahaha it's a Louisville Cardinal paper TMD.
