I have two problems with Mariota first his accuracy

Don't get me wrong every QB overshoots now and again but with Mariota I see too many passes sail out of bounds and miss wide open receivers on intermediate routes


I would also add though I did not get to see the game tonight and I can't get a stat to confirm or deny this but the yards after contact his receivers get is crazy ie play I saw curl route cornor backing off good throw wide receiver turns Jukes the corner breaks free runs in for the score


That is my worry can he do this when his wrs aren't going to get huge yac and what will happen on those errant throws in tighter coverage can he be consistent throwing the ball as if a d is covering the read and we can't get a run game going he will not be able to afford to miss those throws


Other than that great feet and incredible athleticism however without the consistency to back it up he isn't a number 2 pick


That said he is definitely a first rounder the eagles should sit behind Vick for a year or so to develop before rolling him out
