Mariota will return to Oregon next year

[*FreeFua*]

@SportsCenter: THIS JUST IN: Oregon QB Marcus Mariota will return to school for his junior season.

[*FreeFua*]

This surprises me, Mariota can't really improve his stock much more.

Not worth going back and risking the potential of an injury.

Then again... Maybe he remembers what happened last time Houston had 1st overall pick and took a QB. He might save himself an injury by staying in school...

That will rework some draft boards.  Also make it possible that if someone passes early on a QB, they might want to jump back into the first round with someone sitting around, oh I don't know, from 28-32?

 

Will trust Gman to make the right call

[Camsfanclub]

Idiotic, just like everyone not named Andrew Luck his stock will fall.....look what happened to Jake Locker, Tahj Boyd and others he will regret this. Oregons been figured out, they are not the unbeatable powerhouse they once were.

Doubt he will stay. Won't believe it until the deadline passes. Another Dennis Dixon on the same gimmick offense. It's a red flag when a QB is not throwing INTs in college. It means they're not making NFL type throws and get most of their stats from YAC.

hopefully he improves in areas he needs to, but i think you should go as early as possible.now scouts got another year to sit back and nitpick at your game tape, and the injury bug could become an issue. he just recently had a knee sprain. i really do believe that you go to college to get a better job, and if that job is to play football, you take that opportunity asap.

 

but good luck MM.

Big mistake!!!

 

Why are you going to give up a top5 pick? SMH

 

Not worth going back to school unless he just really want to earn a degree.

Being #1 Is not the windfall of money it used to be

[DaCityKats]

you can always go back and finish school, plus you would want to go ahead and start working towards that second contract.

[Evengelion]

Decision...decision...decision. Be a top 5 pick now and make millions or stay and get overshadowed by Jameis Winston in the 2015 class.

[Riverboat Ron]

Doesn't surprise me, he's barely 20. Hopefully we'll see some more of these QB's stay and keep Clowney and Barr away from Tampa and Atlanta.

[SOJA]

he's one year off. last year he would have been the number one pick

[Captain Morgan]

we need QB's and any position we don't need to enter the draft, thus pushing positions of need

closer to our pick.

1. He's still young and yes, there are areas he can grow in.

2. I wouldn't want to play for the poo hole of a city Houston, or Jacksonville for that matter.

3. Whats wrong with the kid getting a degree. That's the main reason for going to college.
