Quote:No, what I'm saying is that YAC is a mark of an accurate and well timed ball. Having good YAC production is not the same as being a checkdowner, just look at YPA.  My point is that efficiency is what wins game in the NFL and to knock Mariota doing things that NFL greats rely on game in and game out on their way to multiple superbowl wins and the hall of fame doesn't make sense to me. I'm not saying that Bortles is the worst QB or absolutely hopeless, but its far from obvious he is going to be more than an average QB in this league. He has been better in his 2nd year, but far from the franchise QB and lock top 10 QB many are making him out to be. He is still one of the most inaccurate passers in the NFL and needs to make better decisions. 

 

The only problem I have is with posters who write off Mariota when all the facts and good reasoning support him and those who will blindly defend Bortles in the face of obvious evidence. The excuses for Bortles and the attempts to discredit Mariota are laughable.

 

Well, I will give you this...  MM can't be a check downer, considering he throws to his first read all the time...  Ba doom boom, Hey yooooo!  I'll be here all night folks, try the veal.

 

I'm beginning to wonder if you even watch Manischewitziota even play ball...  I still can't get over that on pass that got them to into the red zone on the GW drive against the saints.  The ball was poorly thrown, the player fell down, nobody touched  him, he got up and ran for another 20 yards.  But yeah, it was an accurate and well timed throw...  LOL!!! :teehee:

 

As for BB5...  He's top 10 in production.  But yeah, he's totally not gonna make it in this league other than being hopelessly mediocre.  Please, dude, you're talking like you don't really football all that much.  I guess, as a PhD student you have bigger fish to fry?   :pinch:
