Marcus Mariota, how far will he fall?
- Thread starter adp98
- Start date
I'm indifferent to the phila eagles football franchise. I do however, enjoy the unfounded optimism and then the disappointment, misery and rage of the Eagles fan as each season falls apart. I am looking forward to The Chipster mortgaging his eagles employment and another 5 years of misery to acquire Mariota.
Nipsy.......I love it......couldn't have said it any better........Now, I love football, the ultimate team sport. But, once the better players get beyond the collegiate level, their attitudes and egos change....guess that's the cash in action. But, like many, I'm tuned in every Sunday, but, not really rooting for any particular team. I do like to watch some of the kids I followed in college. And, I do get a kick out of the Eagle fans, and in kind of a sarcastic way, enjoy their misery when they lose and don't make the playoffs. Guess I'm a little morbid...
Yes every NBA team would beat every NCAA team but that's not the point.
Watched Villanova-Georgetown, with switching over to KU-OK State and then watching the end of that, then watched a lot of Arizona-ASU, and caught some UK-Gators. Amazing day of college hoops. Good stuff. Two court storms (you can debate whether they are warranted, but they are evidence of the passion).
No way I would ever watch that much regular season NBA.

1. We all know all NBA teams would crush the best college teams, but that's not what I mean.
2. Hey, I was at the Nova/GTown game. Watched Zona/ASU afterwards at the bar. And watched the entire 2nd half of the KENT/FLA game. I with you here. No one is saying that it's not enjoyable. It most certainly is.
3. That doesn't prove your point.
The quality of play is better in the NBA. That's my point. The talent in the NBA has never been better. There are some really good college players, but overall the quality of play is far below what it used to be.
Some of you are only CBB fans and will dispute this pretty much out of ignorance because you spend little time watching the pro game. I watch both, a lot of both, and the quality of play in the NBA today is CLEARLY better than the college game.
Only took 6 posts to turn this thread about the NFL draft into a CBB vs NBA debate. Well done

College bball quality is at an all time low. Only way to fix it at this point would be to institute a must play 2 years deal like they do with college football. If that were to happen the quality of play and players would go way up but that's never going to happen. If anything it's more likely they do away with must play 1 yr and let them go straight to pros again.
He's going to rebound once teams figure out the herd is a dangerous thing to base picks on. 6 at latest.
I dont think you get it. He played only decently in one game last year where his two best receivers were missing and his team gave up 45 points. Kid's a bust obviously, because he runs sometimes too.
the QBs in this draft after the first 2 are not that impressive at all. which makes it all the more likely that the top 2 go early.
I expect Winston to go 1. Lovie is a traditional guy and im sure he favors Jameis as he's a traditional passer and pro ready.
Can't seriously see how Tennessee would think rolling with Mettenberger over Mariota is a good idea but they are the Titans after all. Take Mariota and get an OC in there to run the zone read. Don't try to pound the square peg into a round hole and make him a pocket passer. Would be pointless to use a pick that high and not run an offense that best suits the QBs unique skill set.
