Quote:What's wrong with having Mariota ahead of Bortles? Mariota has a much quicker release, throws a beautiful spiral, has better ball placement, and is far more dangerous when running. Blake's side of the ledger has a season of inefficient stat compiling, and probably more durability.


They both need to and are capable of taking the next step, but you don't have to squint very hard to envision Mariota being better equipped to take that step.


I would pretty much guarantee if you switched teams and gave Mariota Arob, Hurns, and Julius while giving Blake Kendall Wright, Rishard Matthews, and Delanie Walker the opinions would be unanimously in Mariota's favor.
