Winston better leave before he goes into next draft with a year off. No way he makes it thru another year of college without a long term suspension.

Remember, he goes to Florida State.

As a Saints fan, Winston going to the Bucs scares me a lot more than Mariotta. I'm not going to say that Mariotta is a gimmick QB in the likes of Colt Brennan or whatever, but I think Winston would be able to be plugged in immediately to Tampa's offense. Winston has all the physical tools in the world and is a proven winner, but if I was the Bucs I'd be so damn worried about his brain and his decision making ability. He seems very, very unintelligent, and obviously so.

 

I'm sure there is someone I'm clearly missing, but are there any examples of winning QB's who appeared to be so patently dumb? (aside from Terry Bradshaw)

My guess is that's not something you'll need to be overly worried about with Winston.

Neil O'Donnell got a 13 on the Wonderlic.

Donovan McNabb got a 14.

Bradshaw, Kelly and Marino, Cunningham and McNair all got 15's.

If that were to happen if love it if Mariotta slipped to the Bears at #7

[OleMissCub]

Surely he wouldn't make it past the Jets.

If you have your stupid dream then I can have mine

and don't call him Shirley.

[Andy]

Yeah, Winston is talented, but Mariota to Tampa would scare me an awful lot more.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

I think Winston's bust potential is way greater than Mariota's, simply because of all the off the field stuff and blatant stupidity. Now grant it they both could end up as busts but if I had to risk my job drafting one give me Mariota any day of the week.

[dew1679666265]

From a Titans fan's perspective, if Mariota is there at #2, I'll be pretty upset if they don't take him. I like Mettenberger a lot, but Mariota is just too good with too much potential to pass up.

 

On the other hand, if the Bucs take Mariota, I don't want the Titans taking a QB until late. At that point, just stick with Mett and hope he develops. Winston is insanely talented, but the bust potential (mostly due to off-the-field stuff) is just way too high. I'd have no interest in Winston at 2 at all.

[Guest]

If Winston enters the draft he's going to drop like a stone in water.

[RynoRules]

With all the character questions, I just can't see anyone drafting Winston in the Top 10. Maybe not even the Top 15. He will be the guy we watch sweating in the green room this year.

[minnesotacubsfan]

so, how far does Winston have to drop before he becomes a no-brainer?

[SpongeWorthy]

Winston has a slow/long delivery

Winston has a slow/long delivery

 

Yep. It reminds me a bit of Byron Leftwich.

[imb]

i was saying that last year, he looks like tebow

[OleMissCub]

i was saying that last year, he looks like tebow

 

With twice the arm strength though.

Winston and no-brain will always go hand in hand.

Nice comp. He still scares me with the Bucs though, but no way he goes #1 to them. Marriota won't be good for a few years if at all and the Saints will be in full rebuild mode by then.

Dak Prescott is more of a Tebow, IMO.

[Cubswin11]

Isn't there a definite advantage to take player (especially QB) in the first round in terms of controlling him longer? Maybe I'm way off, but I thought that was a big reason why Minnesota took Teddy with the last pick in the 1st.
