Calling it now: Mariota will never make it as a NFL QB.

Call me stupid, call me an rear end in a top hat, I don't care. He's going in the first round and he's not gonna amount to even 1/4th of an Andrew Luck.

Ok for real I'm not calling it now, I called this poo poo a year and a half ago. Mariota will never do anything in the NFL.

Why do you think this?

Man the Texans should look at every loving QB playing in college right the gently caress now to see if they can hack it in the NFL level. I like Hundley's size but it seems like he hasn't done himself any favors this year. I have a really sinking feeling that the Texans will not draft a QB very high in the draft in 2014 which is going to make me sad because I don't want front row seats to the Ryan Mallet Experience™.

They're just going to sign Sam Bradford

By your logic, the Raiders were correct in taking Jamarcus over Calvin Johnson. Your logic is stupid.

The Chargers passed on Franchise QB Michael Vick to take some short idiot from the midwest in the 2nd round. What a dumb loving move

I'm not sure if Mariota is a franchise QB, same with Winston. Their arms are probably the best in the class but aren't that great compared to the top tier NFL starters. Like I think Mariota was the 4th best QB if he came out last year. Winston would probably be taken where Manziel was.

What are your thoughts on Hundley?

If Gurley is a rare prospect he wont fall out of the first round. I base this solely on Adrian Peterson getting hurt back to back years then getting drafted in the top ten

Shouldn't the dip in his numbers be attributed to them changing Offensive Coordinators? Ken Whisenhunt's offense with a decent Quaterback is magical.

I'd say it had more to do with Floyd being healthy and Gates finding the fountain of youth
