Quote:I don't think mariota is overvalued. He's a QB. There were rumors last year that he might have been the first guy off the board.


He has the athletic ability and he usually makes the smart play. I have seen him occasionally make horrible decision throws when he faces constant pressure instead of throwing the ball away.


People compare him to kaep, I think he's a much better passer. If at worst he is a smarter, more accurate kaep, then you would expect some team to take him first overall for sure, especially with a weak QB class.

 

I agree, he is better than Kaepernick. Significantly. 

 

I am not opposed to the Jags drafting Mariota, despite having Bortles here already. 

 

Ideally, I'd rather deal the pick for a windfall of draft choices (if possible), but if thats not able to be executed, I'd be fine with the Jags drafting Mariota. Adam2012 said in another thread that he don't want to hear about the years that we passed on Roethlisberger or Rodgers because we already had Leftwich, but well - thats the point and thats the lesson they need to learn from that. If you don't learn from history, you are doomed to repeat it and I guess thats what he wants.
