I'm sorry, I don't have any respect for Spread Offense QBs...  You're best hope is that you wind up with a Russel Wilson type QB, and let's face it, MM doesn't even seem to be very mobile in the NFL.

 

So what do you have at this moment?  A one read QB that is not very accurate on his long range balls...  

 

I'm not saying he won't continue to develop.  I'm just saying that the type of QB he is doesn't have a very good history of success in the NFL...  He's very frail framed, meaning he's skinny.  His arm needs work in terms of accuracy.  And here is where it's obvious that stats lie.

 

You can sit there and tell me that MM has a 65% completion rate, but man...  Those types of passes he make is not going to make your team successful long run.  He's gonna have to really work on his game to become a legitimate QB that can make it in the NFL.  

 

On the other hand, BB5 looks night and day different this year then last.  He's progressed immensely from last year.  Last year he had no idea what was going on.  He's a different QB this year from last. We're seeing the progress.  And while there are some issues, there's more good than bad now.

 

Maybe your boy will progress as the year ends and next year he takes that leap from being 1 read and check down to actually being a bit more competent as a QB.  But I'm sorry, he's not there yet.

 

I mean, do you honestly think Marsroveriota is showing the tools of a 2nd year QB?  Because if you do, you're either not watching other NFL games or you are lying to yourself.  But he's doing well for a rookie.  I mean what more do you expect from him?  To be playing like the 9th best passer in the NFL?  Come on, that's being unrealistic--and it's setting you up for disappointment.
