You know why that is, he is too damn short. So his feet have to compensate. Fortunately for the Hawks, he can read defenses and think fast on the fly.
Mariota is overrated!

My issue is most of his passing yards came from receivers being wide open and that will not be the case in the NFL or even against FSU on the 1st. My mouth drops when I see how open Oregon's receivers are. He'll have to prove he can throw receivers open and read defenses at the line.

When are nikkas going to realize that Oregon basically runs a spread version of the West Coast offense. This isn't RGIII 1 read and running or Kaep running the Pistol in college. It's the same shyt Chip Kelly runs and it's the same shyt that New England has concepts of in their offense. He knows how to read a defense and he doesn't just take off an run. They told him to run more cause he didn't do it enough.

You just named every QB ever
Please tell me which system busts like Akili Smith, Ryan Leaf, Tim Couch, Christian Ponder, Jim Druckenmiller, etc. could have been placed in to make them pro bowl caliber QB's.

most nfl teams run the spread or some form of it now so he will be fine.

Most teams have spread formations, but very few of them employ the zone-read-option(aka run) regularly which helps the QB determine what next on the decision tree.
Chip has it going in Philly, Seahawks have a hybrid of it to help Russ. The 49ers basically dumped out of the run-read-option and went to straight dropback spread formations ... basically outed Kaepernick that he can't read defenses heads up and can't make pinpoint passes. Same happened to RG3 in Washington.
With like 90% of college QBs running zone-read-option plays out of spread formations, NFL teams need to employ these type of OCs/HCs or else they're just wasting time and money trying to make guys like Mariota/Kaep/RG3 traditional dropback passers at the pro level.
Luck and Bridgewater are probably last of the Mohicans. Is Jameis a full on pro-style QB?

oregon doesnt just run the zone read tho. i am sure that he can adapt like arron rodgers did

Rodgers grew up in Tedford's Pro-Style Offense which was overtly complex ... his playbook was basically pro-level. Even within the plays, Tedford had complex read calls from every position player.

If you read the play break-down of Cal-Tedford-Rodgers play-action pass and the Utah-Urban Meyer-Alex Smith play-action pass, you can see why Aaron ended up being the better QB and Alex is still a checkdown passer who mainly throws to TE's who overmatch LB's.

@JetLife gets it
not taking into consideration the skill sets and offense experience of qbs
is some dumbass shyt
trying to force every QB to be the same ratio of pro-style cerebral pocket passer brady/manning is
is some dumbass shyt
aye like I said IMO all the qb really has to do is take the snaps
how you move the ball is up to you

this is the shyt i'm talking about
no one in college runs a west coast offense. not even close. i think the last coach to even attempt to run it was Bill Callahan at Nebraska, and it was a complete disaster.

No. Just no. I'm not breaking down the entire thing, but not even close to overtly complex. That was the most useless write up I have ever read.
On topic, just based on physical gifts alone Mariota is a top 15 pick. He's 6'4" 220 lbs is accurate, got an arm, and for a running QB he's dedicated to staying in the pocket. Some cat earlier in the thread say he wouldn't take that in the first 3 rounds. Ole boy should never be allowed to watch football again.

I'd take Mariota after Winston. Mariota can be a good QB but I think he'll take more years to get there than Winston will. Winston is more of a "sure thing". After Mariota I like Connor Cook and that's it.
