[@mattwilliams4807]

I like Mariota. I don't see him as the type of guy who will fire everyone up by yelling or jumping around. But he's the type of guy that other players with bleed for.

[@joejones1991]

Mariota is awesome and will have a great nfl carreer.

[@siberg6257]

he s got the mentality to be successful

[@NotFlightt]

HAHA funny

[@keontaemims7991]

[@jackjelf07]

Joe Jones not as good as jameis though LMAO

[@mattr27]

Jack J L

[@joewalsh6931]

I love this dude, so humble. I hope he comes to us birds at pick #20!

[@staticPR704]

me too

[@RayZon97]

joe walsh probably will. I don't think any other NFL team is seriously considering him in the first round. Wouldn't be surprised at all if he drops that far.

[@RayZon97]

***** Bucs are taking Winston. And as for all those other teams, they would have to sit Mariota for at least a year or change their offensive style. Despite what ESPN says, not many teams are seriously considering Mariota in the first round. Only the Eagles would. Most overrated player coming into the draft in years.

[@staticPR704]

***** I don't think he's gonna drop to 20, but I hope he does

[@RayZon97]

***** depends on where they draft him. Any player drafted in the top 10 is expected to start immediately and make an impact. Mariota won't be able to do that. If the Eagles draft him at 20 however, he could easily be the face of that franchise. Most likely he won't drop to 20 though, because many NFL teams won't want the Eagles to have him so easily, so they will have to trade up.

[@TonightDelight]

Reminds me of Aaron Rodgers , everyone had question marks about him , everyone doubting him, Marcus will prove them wrong

[@ryanhellrung8748]

***** leaf failed because he was an idiot and did drugs

[@mateodegracia6376]

Like Russell Wilson too

[@xXMidnightSinXx]

***** so next biggest bust or next most overrated player of all time who shouldnt be in the HOF?

[@xXMidnightSinXx]

because he had a run game, he didnt do shit until they could run the ball

[@Shakester71]

AJ Delaney The big difference is that Aaron Rodgers came from a pro-style offense at Cal. Mariota, like Kaepernick, is coming from a very simplified spread offensive scheme. Mariota has all the physical skills. The big arm and the legs. He's also an intelligent kid. Sounds like Kaepernick. His biggest hurdle to stardom is his ability to go through his progressions and stay inside the pocket. The days of a running QB are over. RG3 is on his way out. Kaepernick had to seek the help of Kurt Warner to basically change his whole style of game. Johnny Manziel couldn't even make it out on the field and now the Browns are talking about Mariota. I like Mariota and want him to succeed, but I just see another Kaepernick.

[@vickismith4993]

Pretty amusing to read all these hot takes from 3 years ago lol. Lots of peeps so wrong about Mariota ie he’ll have to sit at least a year, he’ll have to learn to play in a pro style offense & win in the pocket (thing he’s doing just fine there) and a special mention for Lightening with all his bad takes & the guy who thought Oregon played a real dumbed down version of the spread, still laughing over that one!

[@maizenation9229]

very humble. Buccaneers gonna regret not picking him

[@Darkvegetable12]

Maze Nation The Buccaneers never said who they're picking.. They very well could pick MM.

[@maizenation9229]

Jared Price if they don't there gonna suck like usual

[@maizenation9229]

Jared Price i'm not on his dick. I care less if he gets picked 1st or last. just saying the teams that skip him will regret it

[@RayZon97]

Jared Price You're in denial. Bucs are taking Winston and he will turn that franchise around immediately. You'll be glad they did once he takes them to the playoffs. The Bucs have pretty much done all they can to make it clear they are picking Winston without explicitly stating it.

[@ohbaby4life]

Sadly as a bucs fan I fear that

[@ohbaby4life]

Love his honesty

[@gtasa310]

I don't see any flaws at all with him. He is the full package

[@Diegosportstalk]

Humble guy man...love this dude💯 beat the Pats!!!!!!!!

[@MrNetnut]

Stay Healthy Marcus;-)) He Will Be One Of The Best To Ever Play The Game If He Does.... Peace;-))

[@TheBackSeatGM]

true

[@sportsallday5991]

Pretty damn good so far

[@siriusrushfan8479]

He's a Titan baby! And I'm lovin' it! ;)

[@The808Mixmaster]

proud of this guy, hes from the same place i am. We are brought up to be humble and respectful to everyone we meet unless they are disrespectful then you kick ass lol

[@bygemzen7267]

Marcus Mariota, humble dude, great quarter back, whats not to like?

[@bradlypham5349]

He knows his shit

[@rj.countryboy4205]

This is marcus mariota the start of 2017 season: 0 ints in the redzone and 36 touchdowns in the redzone his whole career

[@BBBoy990]

...then the injury bug took over.

[@predatorsnhl1389]

Welcome to Nashville!!!

sick Vincent Jackson wallpaper in the background in the film room

[@Memlax1]

He's the man!!!

[@TimothyMoananu]

Just stay who you are uso. Stay humble and stay hungry!!! #therewillbehaters

[@mikerennie2024]

"I got you. We'll get this done." Words of a leader.

[@RLongo1515]

Mariota is gonna look great in midnight green.

[@puremercury]

I like Mariota slightly over Winston (mostly because of his athleticism and maturity/lack of idiocy, but they are 1A and 1B. I have Petty #3, Grayson #4, and Hundley #5. I also like Bryan Bennett, and I think it's crazy some coaches think he projects as a safety. He has 6th-7th round developmental surprise written all over him.

[@chinajoenotmyprez1371]

Welcome to RN!

[@mkl62]

Marcus Mariota-born October 30, 1993-played high school football for the St. Louis Crusaders (Honolulu, HI)-played college football for the Oregon Ducks; won 2014 Heisman Trophy-#1 draft pick for the Tennessee Titans (#2 overall). At Atlanta on August 14.

[@MyMagicSauce]

I tell you what man, I miss Gruden

[@eureka0521]

Mymagicsauce I see what you did there, and I agree.

[@HOUSEMDSB7]

Jeez he is really reserved. I think he will do great at the next level. I'm not going to bash him because he isn't oozing smiles and talking as much as Winston. I think he will do great.

[@OGKiid94]

His dad works for homeland security. He grew up in a strict house. Thats why he not on social media.

[@wadopotato33]

He is super accurate, and careful with the football. That is usually a good thing in the NFL.

[@dustythewhale3809]

There was a different answer 3 years later. 1 is preparing for opeing day the other is suspended

[@rac50172015]

I like how mooch questioned his ability to take control of a veteran offense. That's going to be huge for Mariota, he's got to have the respect and trust of his offense in order to have success but his personality doesn't show he can.

[@Lovemyfriends1]

The only people know that Marcus will be a Stud in the NFL is the NFL sports analysis

[@averagebloke4474]

Hmmm Wonder what would had happened if Philadelphia grabbed him when Chip was the head coach... Interesting to think about because he already knew that offense very well.

[@ianpeters2]

TitanUp

[@OneFatPieceNori]

Hawaii Stand Up!

[@boxcharles]

People bitch about him being too reserved and quiet. Didn't we already learn from Manziel last year? It's almost like we all want a trainwreck. He has a level head on his shoulders, I don't give a shit about twitter and facebook.

[@Gamingetic]

3 years go by, Jameis Winston has had better stats, but Mariota has a better career record... And Jameis has tons of more weapons.

[@sattlermusic2402]

Brett Hundley 😔 I'm still hurt from that ONE season...

[@Junior-fc9mk]

We want you we don't need you like others teams but the Eagles is a team that want you, and take care of you. To bad you might not be on the Eagles

[@keshaunbellamy5844]

eagles he even said it would be easier to translate to the NFL with them

[@xiaxu7108]

After the draft in the game... Only heard of Marcus....

[@AnthonyHayesAbyssartsStudio]

I still believe in Marcus. Titans did him nasty but I believe the Raiders will put him right where he needs to be. TitanDown

[@ryanwalker2120]

Can't wait to see this guy in Charger blue next year!

[@mallsanta4436]

Mariota isn't just going to say who's better between him and others.

[@ivanjonas3874]

Mariota > Winston.

[@arminius.]

Ivan Jonas matiota had more interceptions than touchdowns while jameis has the most passing yards and touchdowns by any quarterback before 24 years old.

[@mallsanta4436]

+WILD DAWG Mariota had his roughest year in his NFL Career.

[@carter1574]

He & Jameis...both very very good. BUT, Jameis has the fire & leadership, this tips the scale.

[@LucidDream]

misc He doesn't need fiery emotion. He is who he is and that's calm/collected. Which is a great leadership trait. I mean you say that as if Mariota has no leadership. Yet he's very well respected by players for being a leader. He's doing a hell of a job for my Titans. I wouldn't trade him for anybody. Even in the recent draft Corey Davis, a WR we picked in the first round, said that Mariota was his favorite QB because of how calm he is and how he leads. I'll take him over Jameis any day. He's the goat. Marigoata. Plus having that fire in your emotions will inevitably lead to some bad plays and more mistakes. Already Jameis has thrown more interceptions than Mariota. Jameis sitting at 33 interceptions in his career so far, while Mariota is only at 19.

[@DegenerateGambling]

How many playoff wins does winston have now? Lmao gtfoh

[@Coachclark.c]

Id choose him over Winston just because of that first answer

[@israelalexander8574]

Marcus only was thats a starting💀damn

[@goodfellow5390]

Two years late, but it’s hurting my head trying to get it

[@JazzyJonas]

I hope everyone eventually learns how to pronounce Mariota in the future. "Mah-ree-ota. not Mary-oda."

[@steelmarine45]

I think Bryce is way better than anyone will give him credit for. Easily a second rounder but I could see him dipping to as late as the fourth or fifth.

[@BruinsBeatCanucks]

lmao... I just watched Jon Gruden praise him before he got drafted. Now, I'm watching the GM of the Raiders praise him... Derek Carr... you're a good QB for my Raiders but I'm 1 billion percent certain Mariota is the guy

[@mclew1234]

After thursday night this is very much is a possibility now, Carr has a very trade able contract & could return a decent value after his performance this year

[@EAFSQ9]

How far he has fallen... from starter in Tennessee to back up, now a back up in Las Vegas. Derek Carr is on the hot seat. Making the playoffs are more or less a bar now in him keeping his starting spot, especially now that Mariota is his back up.

[@MrExtraFINESSEtrial]

Gruden Grinder, Marcus Welcome!! to the Darkside... “2020 VEGAS BABY GO RAIDERS” #MayockWeTrust

[@MrExtraFINESSEtrial]

**Knock on wood if you're with Me 😂😂😂

[@stephbetter3806]

I really like mannion and petty I think Winston will be the best out this draft tho

[@based6950]

I can't help but feel both of the mainly hyped up quarter backs are gonna flop. Either Mannion or Hundley will be the quarterback that makes it in the NFL

[@siberg6257]

who knows, we ll know it very soon i hope man.

[@kiddkilla4166]

i think winston will do well

[@MrFrankGlaser]

+SlideSport David Carr?

[@MrFrankGlaser]

SlideSport Stories not worth it to remember his name? :D

[@BeastGamer-fm2lb]

SlideSport Stories derek carr had a great season last year wtf are you talking about

[@jackjelf07]

hundley looks like if snoop dogg went on a heroine binge.

[@username-ds6kf]

Man I remember watching this before he was drafted and I knew he didn't have IT when he didn't say he was better than jamis no confidence I'd personally rather have a man that steals crab legs over a passive QB with no confidence

[@rayrhodes2805]

Chip.. Is going after this guy.. Remember eagles fan... Good to great.. Laurie chip and staff... Have been saying it.

[@unsungdog400]

So only Brett Hundley and Mariota have done ok

[@favoritiism311]

Marcus i going to be the next Jesus

[@charliedavis7637]

He's going to the Chicago Bears

[@sccrdude22]

Now he just has to learn how to stop and get in the huddle between every play instead of rushing to the line.

[@codeyhirai4]

Mariota>Winston

[@JohnnyU-sj5gb]

Codey Hirai nope

[@TheBackSeatGM]

yup

[@DegenerateGambling]

Mariota Playoff appearances 1 playoff wins 1. Winston with a better team playoff appearances none playoff wins none. Nuff said

[@arturocomparan8787]

I hope the chargers pick him

[@ShornChimp]

Either everyone has pinkeye, or they've all been smoking pot!

[@luismunoz5808]

Titans

[@footballfrenzy0159]

Go to the Raiders Marcus:)

[@xXMidnightSinXx]

Footballfrenzy017 You guys got Carr tho....

[@footballfrenzy0159]

xXMidnightSinXx True, but the Raiders do need a better QB than the ones they have right now.

[@xXMidnightSinXx]

um.....you dont use the 1st round pick for a backup

[@xXMidnightSinXx]

im not even a Raiders fan but Carr is your franchise not Mariota

[@footballfrenzy0159]

Happy that the Raiders drafted Amari Cooper

[@Lilriosss]

Second

[@Lanz22]

Third biatch!

[@joejones1991]

Winston isn't worthy lol

[@joejones1991]

Cause hes special ed.

[@joejones1991]

Good cause you wouldn't wanna have his kids....that would be one ugly baby.

[@joejones1991]

Mariota isn't whute

[@nikko__5850]

Johnny U. Grow up!

[@arminius.]

Joe Jones your really stupid

[@sneasley11]

He's going to the eagles

[@sneasley11]

They can always trade Bradford and picks

[@RayZon97]

***** Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Mariota drops to pick 20. Can't imagine any other team would seriously be considering him in the first round. But if I'm wrong, they could always trade Bradford.

[@NashvilleSaint]

No he's not

[@vincentschmidt5098]

Kevin Heasley He's going to San Diego in a draft day trade for Philip Rivers to Tennessee.

[@LittleBigMac_1]

Oh, is he now?

[@jaxonsteinhauer9075]

Go Ducks

[@Rodt77]

first bitches

[@blackstone1897]

character beats talent any day of the week its been proven already, everybody in the NFL is talented they wouldn't be on a roster if they wasn't, there's certain qualities that separates a 1st round bust from a late round diamond in the rough its about discipline, determination, dedication and setting and example on and off the field its way more than just being a talented player. The person you are off the field is a complete different person you are compared to when your on the field its a mental switch you learn how to cut on so judging this kid off an interview is very ignorant

[@swiperboysb6897]

hope he doesnt turn into a rg3

[@fusrodef628]

swiperboy sb RG3 wanted to be a brand before he wanted to be an NFL success. Then the Redskins never allowed him to fully heal and no one taught him how to slide. The demeanor of the two are like night and day, Mariota is humble...RG3...not so much

[@swiperboysb6897]

mariota is a tall semi skinny qb. if u saw him vs buckeyes, he got injuried. thats what i hope doesnt happen to him. what happened to rg3 is he got figured out after 1 nice season. the same thing happened to vince young. then pile on the injury,etc

[@yungworldz]

Whats up with this guy's hairline.

[@philiptaefu5672]

[@amariliu6196]

Mariota is the next Colin keapernick

[@4jai2brons0n]

What a ripoff of Gruden's QB Camp.

[@oneofthetwobucksfansonyout2717]

poor Brett hundley. He will never get anywhere with the packers

[@killshark234]

Yeah Aaron Rodgers got like a couple of years

[@killshark234]

Yeah Aaron Rodgers got like a couple of years

[@RtsFps1]

im gonna bank on that marcus is gonna be an alex smith for the first few years, then find his stride. Alex smith sucked ass when he was starting out.

[@dragonboy141]

Wow this QB class sucked
