Quote:I remember when we drafted Shorts and there was a 1 minute highlight video on the Jags site. TMD said he'd be out of the league in a year.


That's what this reminds me of. 1 minute and he can tell you all there is to know about a prospect.

 

I know that considering the kind og offense he is from, and seeing what we run, that he'd be a project here. 

 

I don't want that. 

 

There are a few teams in this league that Mariota would be a good fit for, and we're not one of them. 

 

The only reason people are jumping on the Mariota train is because they are buying blindly into the hype without considering real factors. 

 

He does throw to his first read a lot. He does have accuracy issues. And he is raw and would need to either be drafted into a similar system in the pro's or be drafted to a team with an offensive minded head coach/ or one with a track record of solid QB development, for him to have a good chance to succeed in the pro's.
