Look at my sig, I have watched almost every televised game he played for Oregon. I love the guy, favourite Football player of all time.
I will be the first to tell you that he has more raw talent than any other player in the draft, but he is NOT NFL ready.
The Oregon Ducks run an almost mechanical, rhythm type offence. He rarely drops into the pocket, he rarely makes decisions everything is about motion and timing.
If he somehow ends up on the Eagles, him and Kelly will absolutely light up the NFL. If he goes anyplace else he will struggle with the speed and power of the NFL, he will struggle in the pocket.
He played in the PAC 12, Stanford is about the closest NFL style team he played with regularity and as we all know they were his kryptonite. They hit him and kept him out of his rhythm, which would rattle him and then he would completely unravel. They would force him to make passes out of the pocket where he was brutally inaccurate.
As much as I love the guy I would take Winston, or another player in a different position before I took Mariota that high, I would even take a chance on Manzel before I took him.
He has 0 experience running anything close to an an NFL style offence.
That being said I would be extatic if he proved me wrong. Whatever team drafts him will be my new favourite team.
