Quote:Pretty clear how? His embarrassing completion %? His wonky mechanics? Horrible decision making? Mariota is literally better in every aspect of the game except the deep ball. Though considering he is already better at that than bortles was, all he needs is a wr who can make receptions downfield. Mariota's superior football iq, awareness, throwing mechanics and footwork, and his athleticism give him a much higher ceiling.

How is it embarrassing? What are these wonky mechanics that you speak of? Horrible decision making? Yeah, he makes some bad decisions at times. Would you say a HOF QB like Favre had horrible decision making? Cause he threw way more INT's in his first two years.

 

"Mariota is literally better in every aspect of the game except the deep ball." This is just a homer opinion. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, and I want to see the proof that makes him 'literally better'. You just admitted a week ago that Bortles is the better QB at the moment, but now he's not? That doesn't make sense. Superior awareness? It's funny, cause Bortles has very good awareness usually and is able to escape pressure most of the time. Footwork? Once again you have no idea what you're talking about. Explain why he has better footwork, lol. Mariota has a fast release but can't throw a deep ball? Yep, that's definitely superior throwing mechanics. Also, Bortles' throw on the run is a thing of beauty. Deadly accurate and can throw it VERY deep. Athleticism? He can run fast, but that's it. Doesn't make him more athletic.

 

Anyways, none of this really matters. Bortles will outshine Mariota by a large margin because of the talent he is surrounded by. You're frustrated now because people think Bortles is better... Oh man, just wait til this offense matures and gets even better. It won't even be up for discussion.
