Blount really never counted as he was suspended because he has no composure and Jonathon Stewart sucks. They are running backs. I will take a 7th round one from Hofstra and get the same out of them when I have Luck. Yeah I am over Luck going 33-15 his first 3 seasons and be 25 and lose to the Super Bowl Champions and be the only real qb in the NFL under 31. The future for the Colts looks bad.
Nah....not the same thing. If you've watched the Eagles you can see the system is a success....spurrier stuff never translated to the nfl like this does. Mariotta has some learning but he has all the intangibles that you need. His limitations right now are something that can be worked with and improved.
If a dumb shit like Kaepernick can do it, I'm sure Mariota can too. But like I said, he's got to get with a winning program that preferably fits his style or is willing to change their offense to fit his style of play. Plus a great QB coach is always a big plus when it comes to NFL rookies being successful.
Good job. It took you this long to figure it out? Luck will go down as 1 of the best ever....if he stops tackling these jacked up fucks on roids when he throws an inteterception. Geeze, do what Manning did, Show you care for 3 seconds and then just fall down. You can have the td, I cant have my franchise qb out for 4 weeks because he tried to tackle the fat guy that goes by Suh.
It is absolutely mind-boggling to me that people think Mariota is going to be a successful NFL QB.
Never mind that a full 50% of 1st round QB's taken are busts, not unsuccessful, busts. I just don't see it given his unknowns. He has not had to do the things that NFL QB's do on just about every play (full progressions, tight coverage) and I have a hard time believing he is going to learn this and be successful. RGIII is still struggling and he is a much more talented athlete.
I may very well be wrong, but I don't see him having a good career at all.

Excellent breakdown of plays that Mariota & Oregon have used that are very similar to what many NFL teams run today.

More and more teams are going to a hybrid type of offensive scheme that uses both the spread and pro style offenses. Five years ago I wouldn't have given Mariota much of a chance to make it. But the game is changing much more to suit these types of QB's. The key is to keep them healthy. Which means they will never have as many QB runs than they ran in college. The main thing is to strike a balance between the two schemes..
