Jaworski believes the Bucs will take Mariota

[Bartin]

I'm honestly more worried about Beasley going to Atlanta than I am about Winston going to Tampa Bay.

Cool story, but he had the best defense, and a poo ton of weapons the year they won a National Title.  Sorry I'm not impressed by that.  

 

Cool. Go ahead and name all the offensive weapons we had the year we won the National Championship.

 

And keep in mind this is the same team that another first round QB could not even get close to a championship.

 

And pray tell, of all the tons of weapons FSU had, who will by far be the highest rated/ highest drafted player taken?

[PanthersUnited]

This sort of reminds me of the Leaf or Manning debate. Take the safer and lower ceiling Manning or take the red flag, higher ceiling Ryan Leaf type player with huge red flags

[mcdougal]

You act as if every college QB has NFL caliber weapons. None of Mariota receivers are even getting mentioned.

 

No. not every college QB has NFL caliber weapons.  Not every college QB has done quite as much as Winston has in his college career either. And Winston had vastly less talent than Johnny Manziel or Luck did.

 

Only Newton had less college talent than Winston and accomplished as much.

That is a very good analogy and point! Wow I feel old remembering that draft.....

[ickmule]

I think I don't care either way. Our D will crush either of them.

[PandaPancake]

I believe I'm going to win the lottery and bang every woman on earth. Doesn't mean it's going to happen.

So your putting Winston and Mettenberger in the same boat as far as being prospects are concerned?

 

No, Winston actually did do well (for the most part) with his plethora or weapons.  While Zack struggled on occasion.

Stopped reading right there.  Bias Florida State fans will show their bias.  Have a good day.

Lol you think Luck at Stanford had better weapons than Winston in FSU

You really must not follow recruiting or college football, FSU has the most NFL prospect this year. FSU is constantly has one highest rated classes year in and year out.

And as far as college goes Manziel was better than Winston.

Who has the record, Luck?

 

May have already been answered.

 

Peyton Manning with 28 in 1998

Lovie Smith would have turned Peyton Manning into a failure if he was coaching the team that selected Manning #1 overall

[Carolina Cajun]

After all the moves the Eagles did to get him, I can only imagine they are sitting there like

[CAVSS]

I can't help but think that not many of you watched Mariota play at Oregon outside of the play offs. He isn't just good he is scary good. Don't forget Cam was a "system" QB. His tape is very very similar to Aaron Rodgers in college. But with Mike Vick game speed. Sky is the limit for this kid. Winston has a high ceiling also but his attitude is more manziel than manning.
