Whether any GM would take him ahead of Bortles doesn't mean anything, Bortles is not a franchise QB in my opinion, and neither is Mariota.

If you wanted to ask a more relevant question of them you'd ask which young QBs they'd want to have and maybe in what order.

I'd be surprised if Mariota were even in the top five asking a question like that.

You want him over Wentz? Goff? Carr? Garopolo? Prescott? Watson? Winston? I could see someone arguing he might be better than one or two of those guys. Then there's the ranks of guys that are already known to be franchise or elite level, is he above any of them?

Trying to argue he's better than Bortles is pointless, guys that aren't franchise quality are really just levels of bad, and that's the cast Mariota is in. Plus he's not yet played in every game of a season.

I'd love to see the titans double down on him, though, maybe give him another one of those Andrew Luck kind of contracts.

You see you were comparing him to Bortles so I was showing that there is a gulf in quality between the two. Mariota is a franchise QB. Bortles isn't. 

Yes I'd easily take Mariota over Winston and Jimmy G. Wentz is playing like an MVP candidate, Watson has been my favourite QB prospect ever. Goff and Dak are legit franchise guys too.  

The titans would be wise to get proper coaching and put the right scheme around Mariota to maximize his strengths. We have seen Goff+Wentz flourish doing this.
