Only because of image breh. I've seen far too many people say that Jameis is the superior QB. The INTs this year have given me some pause, like he's pressing too much since FSU's defense is suspect and he knows he needs 7 every time out. However, Jameis does things that you just don't teach. Either you have it or you don't. The intangibles. Jameis does, Marcus does not.

Yes, I think Winston is the better QB as well, but I think Mariotta can be good but he is not gonna be am all star QB in the NFL, while I think Winston has a lot of the intangibles and a good pocket presence.
its gonna feel good bumping this thread next year
Especially when Winston beasts and Mariota flops
never seen so many excuses for greatness.
he shoulda had an interception! did you see that one overthrow.
meanwhile he got 5 TDs. the real hatred for Mariota comes from knowing he was a better athlete than you ever were in your life when he was 9.
that and this site is a bunch of psychopath racists

Wait, did the OP seriously use Mariota's deep-ball stats to rip on him? Mariota led the nation on deep-ball completions this year (56) and was 2nd in the nation on deep-ball accuracy (54%). One game see started off a bit over-amped (before calming down and going 11-11 in the 3rd quarter) doesn't take away a season of greatness.
Winston's best case scenario is Roethlisberger. Mariota's best case scenario is Randall Cunningham. Either one might be great, might flame out.

You'd be foolish not to take his numbers with a grain of salt. I don't trust any QB that didn't play in a pro style offense in college. I don't trust QB's that don't audible or at least have some control over the offense. College QB's in general are babied. Playing QB is more mental than anything. Yeah you have to have the physical tools but if you're not on point mentally, what's the point. nikkas try to bring that college brand of football to the NFL and they will get ate up.
Of course you can't take the numbers straight-up. But the intangibles you're trying to weaken his case with (spread offense) are easily offset by all the factors on the other side (beaten one big defense after another with inexperienced WRs, a patchwork O-line, #1 RB out, etc.).
If you'd seen what Mariota has done while he's gone throw what he's gone through the last three years, you wouldn't question his mental skills. A guy doesn't need to play pro-style to show that he has the decision-making tools to succeed in the NFL. Mariota is the first spread QB to have shown this combination of athleticism, arm, and intelligence on his reads, and the first one to have shown this much success against this quality of defense. You can't compare him to anyone who has come out recently.

Thats pretty much Chip's Eagles offense and pretty much what Oregon runs breh with some read option too. It's more complex and deals a lot in mathematic match ups. I found a couple articles on it, you should look it upI thought it was a pretty interesting read.
@Pesci is right. The West Coast system involves short timing and intermediate timing routes. Most West Coast QBs can accurately throw short timing routes; what makes or breaks a West Coast type QB are the deeper intermediate routes that require a cocktail of footwork, timing and accuracy. These throws have a high degree of difficulty and assumes special talent on the part of any West Coast QB (i.e. something close to Tom Brady's competency). Chip's system is more about scheming easy deep throws with movement. His QBs don't attempt very many difficult throws like a West Coast QB does. Thereon Chip has very low QB failure rates.
