I like Mariota but another poster put it best the read option athletic QB is going to come and go. Kaep and RG3 have been shut down this year and even Russel Wilson had looked okay even though they have a great running game and monster defense.

 

I want the pro style QB who is given full control of the offense and has scouts/GM gushing over his understanding of defensive concepts and schemes. Not the Read Option pass happy offense QB who contrary to popular belief does check down alot, tends to lead screen pass into defenders and makes alot of one read or run plays. Once he reaches the next level those running lanes will disappear and he has Kaepernick / RG3 to thank for it.

 

Mariota is VERY good no doubt about it and his athletics cant be ignored but Bridgewater is much more polished and moch more of a cerebral player.
