Mariota?????? He is a scrub, Bridgewater is miles ahead of him same goes for Carr and Bortles

 

Mariota??????

 

Look understand the love of Spread option qbs, but Cameron Newton is a one of a kind talent, once a generation talent.

 

He is the only spread option qb I would pick in the top 5 in any draft, I would take him Luck because of his abilities and ceiling.

 

Mariota doesn't even begin to sniffs Cams batman cleats when it comes to mercurial talent

 

if you want your traditional drop back passer who can make all the reads, make all the throws, run the game at the line scrimmage, does the little things right.

 

Bridgewater is your man

 

Remember competition is not only who your playing againts it is also who you are playing with

Go watch a Mariota vs. ****

and a Bridgewater vs. ****

 

Then come here and update your thread. Mariota doesn't make NFL throws, throws a lot of dinks&dunks off his back foot. And I can guarantee everyone that Bridgewater will run a faster 40 than him. Bridgewater did a lot of running in high school and some in his freshmen year at Louisville but because he's such a gifted passer and heady guy who can take advantage of average receivers they don't run him as much. I think throughout the combine process Mariota may not keep his high projection because flaws will be revealed in his footwork and passing ability. I think Bridgewater is more in the class of Winston but overlooked because he plays for Louisville. One thing about Bridgewater he's consistent the entire time he's been at louisville. Always put up similar numbers in wins or losses for 3 straight year. Never really had a bad game. His scouting report coming out of HS was uncanny accuracy. And every game he plays he'll put the ball in a spot where you'll say to yourself 'how the hell did he do that'. No franchise is gonna pass on a guy like that.

I agree with your analysis but if you were to look for someone who might have similar skills to Cam in college it might be Jeremy Johnson, a true freshmen at Auburn(Cam's alma matta). He's 6'6 230, can probably run a 4.55 and he's pure pocket passer. He's not the starter now(for obvious reason) but he played a full game when the starter was out and he makes it look easy. You'll start hearing about him soon. I think he might be the next Cam.

That is what I am hearing and he has Gus coaching him too

It's a completely moot point now, but you're hate for Mariota is either seriously misguided, or you just started watching Mariota after he sprained his knee. Also, no chance Bridgewater touches Mariota's eventual 40 time.  LOL at you thinking all Mariota does is throw dinks and dunks off his back foot. Look if you wanted to come in here with the point that Mariota isn't asked to go through a lot of progressions when he gets the ball, or doesn't play from under center, is asked to make quick timing throws to predetermined spots on the field I might try and carry on an intelligent conversation. But instead you came with "ZOMG he does nothing but dink and dunk off his back foot, he sucks OMG ZORZ"...

I think he gets the hype because of Kapaernick and Kaep wasn't even a top 5 pick. Heck, Kaep is not even playing like a top 5 pick. Unlike Kapaernick I doubt he'll end up getting drafted by a loaded team unless the Texans pick him. He's gonna be in a team where he'll be asked to make the team and his players better and the way you do that is by having an accurate arm. I keep hearing people talking how he needs to work on his throwing skill, then why the heck is he a projected top 5 picks. For you to succeed in the NFL you have to first and foremost have an NFL arm. He doesn't. I think Derek Carr is a way better prospect than him.

 

Any way, that was just my opinion. I have nothing invested in liking or hating any of those QBs. By the way, how fast do you think Mariota will run the 40. I know Bridgewater will be in the 4.55-4.60. BW has a quick and short stride and Mariota has a slower and longer stride. Because MM runs often people assume he's fast. Not the case. Here is one of few clip of BW running(fast forward to 1:08):

That's a 4.5 dude running right there. If you wanna see more of his running you can look for his HS highlights. It's amazing how people feed off what the media tell them instead of doing their own research.

 

And this clip tells it all about Bridgewater's athletical ability:

Mariota was electronically timed at 4.48 in the 40 in High School. He's going to be a high 4.4's - very low 4.5's guy. Again it's a moot point, he's going back to school and wont be drafted this year. Just don't understand the "Mariota is a scrub" talk. He's a very talented QB, with an incredible ceiling. He plays in an offense that doesn't require routine NFL throws of him, but he's shown the ability to do it. He's got a ton of tools, and a frame that will allow him to put more weight on without sacrificing too much of his athleticism. I fully expect him to be even better next year, and still be a top 10 pick IF he stays healthy...

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.

      I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
