I want to agree with Skip, but Sark was absolutely fawning over Mariota after that game the other day. I trust he's a pretty good judge of talent.

Manziel put up crazy numbers against one ifthe best defenses in CFB; no way Mariota would do the same.

Manziel is obviously better than Mariota. Any athletic QB could put up big numbers in Oregon's offense.. (even though the same could probably be said about Manziel..)

Either way, both will probably end up being busts in the NFL. Neither QB should be taken anywhere near the 1st round.

I haven't seen Mariota play but I could see this being true since Johnny is great at improvising which is probably more of a necessity at TAMU


You have seriously not seen Oregon the last 2 years? You really should check them out.....they are a special team!

No, see the last QB in Sumlin's system Case Keenum. They play differently. You may also notice when A&M plays other QB's they don't turn into Manziel.

Something tells me you haven't even watched Mariota this season.

Skip said statistically. Saying Cam is as good as Johnny is an insult to Johnny.

Mariota is absolutely a better *quarterback* than Manziel. They're both great players, but standing in the pocket and throwing, Mariota is better, early season rustiness (the accuracy dip) aside.

He's also lightning quick. I mean some of you have just heard that he's "fast" - in fact he has elite speed that is unmatched at the position in college football.

Marcus wouldn't be playing in close games with A&M because he'd put the games out of reach quicker than Manziel, without the wild improvisational runs.

Is Mariota as physically tough and the natural born leader that Manziel is?

I agree. Manziel is a better football player though.

You're such a biased fricking idiot. Why are Oregon fans still allowed to post on here?
We get it you like to score a bunch of points against inferior athletes and pump yourself up before you play real teams and lose. Go away

I am absolutely biased, no argument. But keep in mind our program heavily recruited both of these kids, and as such I've taken a serious interest in Manziel over the years. If you watch both of them play, there's no way you can conclude that Manziel is the better, as I said, QUARTERBACK. Mariota is going to be a top 10 draft pick when he comes out. Manziel is not, and that's not just because of the perception that he's "immature" or whatever (which I don't buy into, by the way.)

When Mariota gets drafted ahead of Manziel, this bookmarked post will be fun.

At least he can claim he's biased.

You're just a plain fricking idiot.
