Jaworski believes the Bucs will take Mariota

[jumpman910]

This. Aside from the off field concerns, the guy was an absolute turnover machine last year. You rarely see a guy reduce his turnovers when going from college to the NFL.

Honestly, if Winston starts 16 games as a rookie, he may set a new NFL turnover record.

Who has the record, Luck?

Two years ago the draft went nuts when the Dolphins unexpectedly took Dion Jordan at number three. The rest of the first round was as entertaining has anything I'd seen in a while.

I'd love to see this year's draft go down like that.

He certainly has some ability and had success but he's one of the least impressive 1st overall prospects in recent years IMO.

[Mr. Scot]

I'm not afraid of Winston.

[JawnyBlaze]

I think Mariota will bust.  I was telling my Bucs friend, I REALLY REALLY hope they take Mariota over Winston.  I think Winston's going to be very good, if not great, and Mariota will be between Manziel without the wannabe rockstar attitude and RG3 without the ego.  Which could be solid, but I wouldn't bet on it.

[Mol3m4n]

Mariota will do fine for the right team but will absolutely bust for the buccaneers. I think Winston is actually the safe pick at number 1.

George Blanda somehow threw 42 interceptions in a 14 game season in 1962. That is pretty amazing. Of course that was before the merger. Testaverde threw 35 interceptions in 1988 for the post merger record.

 

Peyton, Eli and Favre are up there for recent players.

I'm not afraid of him either. But I do think Winston will be a better pro...and a good one at that. I don't think he will have significant off field issues and he will be a highly regarded QB for many years. I think Mariotta is not as good and reminds me more of Alex Smith. Not great but not awful and won't win or lose you the game.

 

I'm not afraid of Winston at all this coming year. As a rookie he will get schooled. He'll make some great plays no doubt but they will still continue to lose. Kind of like we did with Cam's rookie year. A lot of flash but we still lost most games. My concern, not fear, is that he will progrss well and soon the Bucs will be a damned good team contending with us every year. I don't want that.

 

I'd love for them to select Mariotta and not trade down. Someone said and I agree, that I don't want them with a metric poo ton of draft picks. While they don't draft A+ they still will get some play makers with 672 draft picks from the Eagles or whomever. Take the safe pick QB from Hawaii and move on. The draft will eb riveting if that happens.

[GoobyPls]

Are you guys intimidated by Winston?

Personally I don't care who they draft I'm not sold on either one.

[LinvilleGorge]

Who has the record, Luck?

 

Not sure.  Can't find it.  

 

After doing a little quick digging, I'm not sure if the record will ever be broken.  George Blanda threw 42 INTs in one season. 42.  Wow.

 

Kerry Collins and Dante Culpepper both had 23 fumbles in a single season.

 

Yikes.

[Udogg]

Granted, Jaworski is the same douche that said Kaepernick may be the best quarterback of all time.

 

Did he actually say this out loud?

[pantherphan96]

I'm not afraid of Winston.

 

No one should be. Had a cake schedule all year and was exposed as soon as he faced a halfway decent defense with a solid and athletic secondary. If you can cover his receivers and start getting to him in the pass rush he will force it into coverage every time. Mariota may have a lower ceiling, but I can see him at least being an effective game manager in a west-coast offense scheme.

23 lost fumbles? Or 23 fumbles total?
