Jameis Winston
-
Only problem I saw is Jameis did not wear a helmet...
Not worried about Jameis on-field.
Operating under center is still new to him and will come.
Most of his missed throws came off poor footwork evading brooms as he ended his back-peddle... and that'll come as well.

Doesnt seem to have the mental discipline to be successful as an NFL QB. If I was Tampa, I'd take Mariota. 90% of playing QB is between the ears...

I agree you can't make it as a QB in this league if you're completely 100% stoopid......Vince Young, Terrelle Pryor and Jeff George ought to be proof that you need a brain to go with the body....
Much smarter men than Marcus Mariota have failed as NFL QBs. Not to mention Jameis is actually pretty football smart.
Like Johnny for example......had the highest rookie wonderlick score last year, yet acted dumber than them all......

Never said he wasn't "football smart," just seems to lack discipline. Much like Manziel last year...

You said 90% of playing QB is behind the ears. That's what I was pushing back on.

Discipline vs intelligence vs football smarts = 3 different things......Id say you really only need 2 of them to succeed as QB in the NFL.....
Discipline + football smarts win in my world......(unfortunately, our guy JFF has the intelligence, but not the other 2)....but I think Winston has, at least, the Football smarts & Intelligence......while Mariota seems to have all 3........

I have lint behind my ears.......

Lol

He's big, strong arm and has made "in the window, pre-break" throws, good enough for me but I can't make the deal for him. I also don't think the Browns can.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Johnny was regarded as pretty football-smart. I remember Gruden was wowed in the film room. Now he doesn't always make the best decisions on the field (or off, obviously), so maybe you point at that to say he's not football smart. But as far as diagnosing defenses I thought I recalled him being pretty sharp.

I guess it's just what your interpretation of football smart is.......
At the NFL level, Id say it was ability reading Defenses and an innate knowledge of how the offense works.....plus, the ability to learn and understand the play book.....
For example, just watch this Marriucci/Winston tape and see how well Winston does at the chalk board.....(here)
http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-combine-total-access/0ap3000000473191/Mooch-puts-Winston-to-the-test
With JFF, he didnt even have a play book and ran more of a school yard offense, mostly predicated on him "making something happen"......and, when he got here, it was VERY clear he didn't know or understand the complexities of the NFL game......
So, yeah, Jff has intelligence and great football instincts....but I dont think he's "football smart" in terms of the NFL and doesn't have knowledge a successful NFL quarterback should have in terms of pro style offensive and defensive sets, etc....
and because of his school and the simple O they ran, he's been behind the eight ball since coming out, compared to guys like Winston or Mariota, who ran much more complex systems.....

Winston has been on the #1 QB radar for a while now whereas Russell shot up the boards like a rocket after a bowl game.

No, 90% of playing QB in the NFL is being able to throw. Mariota is a poor man's Jake Locker in the throwing department. Winston's ability smarts and maturity are a mirror image of roethlisberger.

Winston seems way more vocal and alpha-male like then Jamarcus ever did. The thing I've always liked about Jameis is the fact that he rallies the team back (even though his interceptions often caused the deficits)
Still Mariota will be the better player. The mastery of his "system" and his efficiency were absolutely incredible.
-
can't throw if you're suspended.
and he's dumb enough to be THAT guy.
mariota's character has never been in question and i'll wager he's plays more games in his career than winston.

hey, it's a crap shoot. just posting what i saw yesterday. mayock is one of the more respected talking heads when it comes to the draft. that said, no one can predict what can or will happen with any of these kids. hell the whole country thought manziel was the shit last year. turned out he was shit.
hell i was touting justin blackmon years ago and now he's smoking crack with josh gordon on a porch somewhere in missouri.....with some purple drank in his hands.
