Quote:I think you need to stop getting bent out of shape, when someone doesn't agree with you, child. I think Mariota has the tools to become a star, and Bridgewater doesn't. Watching the replays of Bridgewater's game vs. Kentucky, the only respectable opponent Louisville has played this year, and while he certainly made some great throws, he doesn't make those kinds of throws often enough for me to want to take him over Clowney. When I watch Mariota, he really jumps off the screen constantly with his athleticism, pocket awareness, accuracy(Ball placement), and arm strength. He even shows ability to scan the defense and go through his progressions as Teddy does.

At this point, I'm not really sure I want Clowney even if we miss out on the top QB's.  His stock has dropped a lot, and if Clowney is the only option, I'd much rather trade down.

 

As for Mariota, I think he'll have one good year in the NFL, and then regress.  He just seems to me to be one of those athletes that are a QB rather than a QB that happens to be an athlete.
