Yes, he fast, but can he make anticipation throws? Read the defense and change the play at the LoS?
Someone gets it. :thumbsup:

I really don't think many NFL fans really understand what it takes to be a long term starting qb in this league. It is not about the "flash" plays and physical gifts. The battle is won and lost with smarts and wit. If you took the top 4 qbs in this league (Brady, Manning, Rodgers, Drees) and rank them with their peers based on pure physical attributes. I can bet that 3 out of 4 of them would rank in the bottom 15 with Rodgers barely in the middle. Being a qb in the NFL has little to do with arm strength or running speed but more on how you diagnose defenses and put the ball exactly where it needs to be (among other mental intangibles of course). The reason why coaches run the spread in college is because it makes the qbs job that much easier. The option baits the defense and opens up the one read on pass plays. It is rather simple.

Stop overthinking this....
Just take Bridgewater and finally have a good QB for the first time in 15 years.

In that scenario? Trade down. Hopefully some team pays a fortune for Clowney or Mariota. I don't think Mariota will transition well into the NFL. He might with Chip Kelly as head coach (at least for a while). But we'll wait and see on that. Just my opinion.

Just my opinion.Obviously it depends on the compensation, but I wouldn't give up my chance to take Boyd so easily. We agree on Mariota. While I think Mariota is deserving of a top 10 pick based off of athletic ability and potential, I don't think he's NFL ready day 1.
