Quote:hahaha.....I remember the same argument or something similar being made against Andrew Luck & "lack of upside"....yeah, I guess so, when you're already great at just about anything QB related, how much higher can you go?


The only reason there is still so much "upside" for Mariota" is because he hasn't reached those abilities as a passer. And he may never. Theres probably a better chance he never reaches that ceiling than does. Just like any other "raw" QB prospect that enters the draft.


But I know thats okay.....because he's got those measurables and makes those long college runs!!! Hold on while I catch my breath through my mouth....

I think the argument could be made that Bridgewater's floor is higher but Mariota's ceiling is thru the roof. This dilemma happened in the draft a few years ago, albeit in the 2nd round not the first. Do you think Cincinnati would still take Andy Dalton (high floor) over Colin Kaepernick (high ceiling) if they could redo their pick?
