Bugg Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I agree, but we know for sure yet that Geno won't be that guy. He's showed some flashes and if you build around him the way we did this offseason, if you give him a better defense and if he studies more and makes progress himself, I think he could be that guy. That's a lot of if's. But if you don't give guys a chance to develop we'll never find a true young franchise QB. If we draft Mariota this year and he struggles like most rookie QB's (say a Peyton or Eli), do we call for the next franchise QB again in '16? At some point when you pick a QB early you have to committ to him for a couple years and see how he develops. I think Geno deserves another season with more talent on the roster, more weapons around him, better coaching. If he shows the same inconsistency again I think we should move on. I wouldn't be opposed to drafting Mariota by the way, but I also wouldn't just quit on Geno. If Mariota is there, go ahead and pick him unless somebody makes a good offer and wants to move up. Let them compete and we'll see how it shakes out. I rather have a second potential franchise QB instead of yet another D-Lineman or yet another receiver. There's no upside really to that. If you really want a lineman or a receiver those guys are a dime a dozen each year in free agency. FIXED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Brown Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 He was all over Manziel, saying he'd love to have him on his team and all that stuff. People need to chill out with the "Namath knows best" stuff, he's not Moses. Even Moses wasn't correct in his judgment all the time. Hence the reason why he didn't see the promised land. Just saying......☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Rooting for or appreciating people because they look like you is not racism. NOT rooting for or appreciating people because they DON'T look like you, that is racism. Mississippi and Alabama are racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

operaguy Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I looked it up, turns out the Nike Air Racist II is all the rage. Is it really fun to throw around racism accusations loosely? FYI I do a lot of public service work in underprivileged communities and take pride in working with black youths in single family homes. The statement I was making was a serious one as for a period of time a large segment of the throwback consumer population consisted of an urban demographic. It also so happens that this urban demographic has a stylish sensibility when it comes to matching throwback jerseys with expensive sneakers. If it is racist to observe that such consumers do in fact exist and that they have such preferences then the fear of offending people has interfered with our ability to have a dispassionate conversation on factual matters. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop_fashion#Throwback_clothing Edit: I guess Wikipedia is racist as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlife33 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Mariota needs to sit for a year. Can that happen here? I'm not sure. I don't think this matters because he won't last to #6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
