Report: Buccaneers leaning toward Marcus Mariota with No. 1 pick

[MadHatter]

Mariotta is a huge mistake.

Hope they get him.

This.

Every time I watched him play, there was very little about his game that translates well to the nfl.

Winston has way more physical tools...just got to get his head straight and he has the potential to be good.

[WOW!!]

Very few knew cam was going to do what he did his rookie year.

That's the point

Dipshit

Mariota isn't Cam but I see your feeling are hurt now...

So i'll just let the facts play out .

Name calling really? ?

Grow the fug up...

[CAVSS]

I haven't been wrong about a quarter back in the ten years I have been following the draft. I'm not good with any other positions. Possibly WR. Almost scary good with QBs though. Mariotta scares the crap out of me. The most scary skill set I have ever seen if he can put it together and become a leader. (If anyone can eff this up its the bucks.) I think he will. But hey I have to be wrong sometime right....right!!!!???!!! Winston will destroy himself I have little doubt.

[tiger7_88]

Go ahead. Honestly think Jameis is more tooled for the NFL than Mariota is

 

Physical tools?  Without a doubt.

 

Mentally?  Looks like Jamarcus Russell part deux to me.

[Goondal]

Oh please let them take Mariota

[tiger7_88]

Mariota is Russell Wilson's attitude with a Kaepernick skill set

 

Winston is Jay Cutler but nowhere near as smart.

[PantherDynasty]

They want to appear to want Mariota so the Eagles will trade up to the #1 slot to take him

[tiger7_88]

Philly wants Mariota. Could be looking to create a block buster trade with them.

 

Philadelphia would be foolish to give up anything to trade up for Mariota.

 

I'm serious as a heart attack here... if Kelly TRULY wants to run the full-blown spread/no-huddle with the QB read option as a primary threat, draft Nick Marshall in the 4th or 5th round and make him your QB.

 

People are always worried that Marshall can't make the "reads" in a pro offense.  Valid criticism.  The thing is, Kelly hasn't yet required his QB to make reads (or at least rarely).  He built a one-read offense that made Nick Foles the most accurate passer in the NFL in 2013.  The problem is that Foles is useless in the other part of Kelly's offense.  Can Mariota do that?  Without a doubt and probably better than Marshall.  But Marshall made that Auburn offense hum in 2013 and 2014 and he won't cost you a damn dime in trading up.

 

I seriously doubt it will ever happen, but just a thought.

I'm pretty sure Marshall is making the switch back to CB for the NFL draft.

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

And I'm not taking BR seriously. The guys at Pewter Report (who have a good track record) say that they aren't sure if the Bucs will pick Jameis Winston, but they are sure that Mariota isn't the guy. At this early stage, it's either Jameis or trade down.

[CatMan72]

Either way, they're screwed.

[tiger7_88]

I'm pretty sure Marshall is making the switch back to CB for the NFL draft.

 

Yes, he did that for the Senior Bowl.

 

But the NFL has placed him into the QB group for the Combine.

 

Hopefully they'll let him test in the CB group as well (since they are testing at separate times).

I hope not. Mariota is the better player long term. Jameis might do better early because of the system he came from, but Mariota will have a better career. Better off the field, humble, hard worker and all the physical tools you could want. He has NFL arm talent and anyone that says he can't read Defense's or throw into tight windows is being short sighted. Just because it's not a foundation of the Ducks Offense doesn't mean he "can't" do it. I've seen him do both numerous times.

So what does being humble have to do with success. And you know jameis doesn't work hard, or is this another one of those well he's black and built like jamarcus so they must both be lazy scenarios?
