re: Jon Gruden perplexed about Marcus Mariota not being the consensus #1 prospect

Gotta say, I don't quite get the Winston hype. Not because of any off the field stuff, but because he's slow and has a long, awkward release. Seriously, why does no one mention Winston's incredibly long and robotic looking wind up? If they do, I never hear it.
I think both guys have a lot of the attributes you look for in a QB, most importantly football IQ and leadership. Mariota is a better athlete with a quicker release. Can't say I know a ton about either of them going through their progressions other than what I've seen in a few games, but both scan the field quickly. Add in all the off-field stuff, and I really don't see why you'd take Winston. I thought RG3 was right there with Luck though, so I don't really know shite

You never hear that because it's an exaggerated statement. His release is a little goofy, kind of looks like he's throwing a baseball, but I bet if you put a timer on him it's about average in terms of delivery quickness. Your description gives me a tebow visual.
On mariotta, and this is a serious question, what qbs have played in that offense in college and had great nfl careers?
