  • kinda Fd up that that is how most nfl personnel thought about manziel last year before the draft and we still handed in the ticket with his name on it.

    i'd take mariota over winston all day long. winston is freeman all over again. i'd compare mariota to more a kaepernik without the moxy.

  • Not sure how NFL teams can make the same mistake over and over again.

    When was the last time you saw a great QB in this league that don't have their head screwed on right?

    Winston is mentally challenged. How is this guy going to lead a locker room full of grown ass men?

    Mariota has it all. Physically and mentally. He's in the same Andrew Luck/P. Manning world of non stop studying of the game.

    Only knock on him is the "spread offense" he played in. David Carr had a decent first year coming from a spread offense. So, i don't think it matters as much as people think it does.

    Mariota hands down.

    I can't.

  • Lol...maybe that's why he is the "former" GM.

    I think Winston will have a better career if he screws his head on straight.

    He's the former GM because he couldn't get along with Greg Schiano and that entire franchise essentially blew up because of it.

    He may have drafted Freeman, but he also drafted Gerald McCoy, Adrian Clayborn, Da'Quan Bowers, Mark Barron, Doug Martin, Lavonte David and signed Jamon Meredith, Carl Nicks, Vincent Jackson. He seems to follow the exact strategy that many on here are harping about - build from the interior.

    The fact that the Bucs couldn't win with the amount of talent they had is not an indictment of Dominik, its proof that you can build both lines and add solid defensive talent, but it's all for naught if you have a dumpster-fire quarterback situation.

    As for Winston, I agree. I think his off the field problems are less of concern than Manziel's by far. I also think Mariota is destined for mediocrity.

  • Along with Polian and Riddick, Dominick is one of the ones I watch ESPN's NFL Insiders to hear.

    Sounds like once burned, twice shy on Dominick's part except there weren't character questions about Freeman coming out of K-State, were there?

    (Aside: a google search to check popped up a reference to a Mark Sanchez rape investigation at USC.)

    Regardless you have to see Winston and MM being fairly close in football potential to let mostly juvenile stuff determine your choice... and I do not see them being that close.

    I'm in the same boat. As a pure physical prospect and in terms of game readiness, I believe Winston is leaps and bounds ahead of Mariota. Winston possesses the size and build to withstand NFL hits as well as the skillset to shine. I don't place any emphasis in the cafeteria incident nor the crab legs incident. The rape incident, I place a little more emphasis in, but not as much as some. If you actually read the reports (ALL of the available reports), it sounds less like a case of rape and more like a case of two drunk-ass kids having sex and then one of them regretting it.

    Flame away, holier-than-thous.

  • i'm not measuring or factoring in winton's off the field stuff when i say i'd rather take mariota over winston (which is kind of ridiculous cuz the browns won't even be in the race).

    i just see a kid who IMO (maybe this is stereotypical but) looks like he'll get signed, get paid and then put his feet up and call it a career.

    and in all fairness i don't know shit about either of them but i'd guess that mariota would spend more time trying to learn the game and putting xtra effort in trying to reach a level he might not yet be on.

  • Wow, one day after Farmer want's to hear Chip Kelly cry for Marriota, Here come's the #1 TB saying Chip call me. Come on Draft Day, Say it With Me 😁

    Except, again, it is TB EX GM....not the current GM.

    He stood up in front of the entire student cafeteria and screamed, "Fock her right in the pussy".

    That screams immaturity and the thinking that he is immune to consequences. I've seen how these folks usually end up.

    The stealing of the crab legs...that's just dumb. Surprise he didn't go after KFC next.

    And with the rape case, would it surprise you one bit if he really did do it? This is coming from a person that stood in front of a large audience and screamed...."i fock her right in the pussy." There's something mentally not right with people that do shit like this.

  • If your record as a GM is 28-52 over 5 yrs then you need to STFU!

    Dominik is a joke..

    Oh. GM's coach games?

    I could put together the best team in the world for you. I doubt you'd know how to win with it.

    A college kid screaming something immature to impress his friends? Clearly, he's not NFL material.

    I was actually going to counter this argument with logic, but then I realized you're nothing but a racist piece of shit. You're not worth my time.

    Not a big Winston guy, per se. I think he's the best in this draft, but that's not saying much.

    I'm more a fan of his skill set. I'd rather use take Cardale Jones next year, regardless of what happens with either him or us.

    Well Jones does seem to have all the tools. Hopefully that's not just my homerism blinding me. (If, of course, he winds up on the Browns.)

    GM's are just as responsible for the success or failure of the teams they assemble as the HC is.. Particularly when they hired the HC..

  • Winston has far better character than JM. He only semi-rapes, steals crab legs and yells "Fuck you in the pussy" in school cafeterias, whereas JM takes his buddies out drinking too often. 😛

    thats the key

    lets be honest, if Johnny could play well NO ONE would care about anything else.....

    same goes with Winston.....if he plays good, everything goes away. If he sucks, then it's because he has character flaws.

    Nah I think shoplifting some crab legs is a college prank kind of thing. Raping a chick and then being a loud mouth punk about it is something you can't really shine on. I guess there are some Baltimore Ravens fans that give Ray Rice A boys will be boys pass but...
