I'm done with this thread...I have made my points...I will add this though..and we can revisit this thread down the road. My prediction is MM will be a real good starting QB in the NFL for a dozen years...That would be worth the high draft pick..
And think about this Red Eye, I would trade down. i already have Mike Evans, now I will have Amari Cooper. I get my white pocket passer in the 3 or 4th rounds prob with the pics you are trading me. I now only a TE away and a couple lineman from being great on offense....I play my white qb from Day 1 so I can see how he will do with a big sample size. I bring in vertern old back up to help him. If we win, means he is doing great, he falls on his face, i have another high pick and may take Hackenburg if he checks out. Not committing to him but you get the point.
You absolutely must have a qb to consistantly win.
You are done because you can't successfully debate me. I have made great well thought out points. Like I said, I don't anticipate Mariotta being an off the field distraction but that style doesn't translate. The first time you see him in a pistol or read option, it is over. i don't care if it is a 45 yard gain. It's over.
Not making a judgement on Mariotta but there are legitimate questions if he can be a consistent dropback passer at the pro level, we'll see.
This must be a difficult college football playoffs for you!! Who you rooting for?
What's all this got to do with you whether I am in or out of this thread..I am done debating the subject matter..is that better ?
Whatever, bro.
You're the worst kind of homer. Your QB (Mariotta) is no different than any of the other running/spread option QBs that have come out....and FAILED...over the last few years. But, as a homer, you can't admit that. I got it.
You're right. There's no need to further "debate" this topic....
CB: 1 (and that's being generous)

Ones that come to mind that struggle are Trent Richardson, Kirkpatrick, and McClain, Mark Ingram. They have so many top picks, some won't make it. You can't count guys like McCarron who are throw away picks. Julio Jones looks very comparable to Amari Cooper. I am trading down not up.
And paning out is not always a pro bowler. With your 1st round pick, you would hope he would be though. When you have so many NFL draft picks, not all wil be standouts.
I would say by and large, Oregon players don't work out in the NFL especially on offense. Lamichael James lit the world on fire in college.
