This is the NFL. You are not succeeding without a franchise QB. I watched every one of Mett's throws last season. The fact that anyone is so sure about him being a better QB than Mariotta is mind boggling.



It's really not. Personally i'd say it's a toss up but it's not that ridiculous of a statement. You probably spent way too much time watch Mett throw and not watching Mariota throw. Because Mett is clearly the better passer. He's just a complete statue. Mariota can easily be a bust. I dont think it should even be a surprise if it happens.

Mett isn't just a better passer, he's a WAYYY better passer.

Mett has a top 10 NFL arm strength and is a very good passer. Its his lack of feet that are terrible. If he had, say, the Cowboys OL, he'd be very good IMO.

He's also kind of fragile which is another con.

But its understandable why his WRs are pissed. He can deliver the rock very well down the field on intermediate and deep passes.


ETA:

Mariota is a MUCH better athlete. Like not even close. But he is not a great passer and has never been in a pro system. Expecting him to start next year might be a disaster. He's the kind of guy that needs a few years of tutelage IMO.

That's a lot of question marks for a #2 overall pick QB expected to start right away IMO.
