    He threw 18 picks.

    What do you make of Tom Brady splitting time with Drew Henson at UM? Or how he was only ever an honorable mention all-conference player.

    Somewhere in here there is a dion lewis and Pitt reference.

    It's not just that he threw interceptions, that happens, it was how terrible the large majority of them were.

    Part of it was they saw tremenous potential in Drew to lead them to the promised land.

    18 ints are a lot for a college QB in one season, especially 1 who is expected to go number 1.

    What do you make of Andrew Luck's 18 INTs as a rookie?

    What do you make of Peyton Manning's 28 INTs as a rookie?

    Those are big INT numbers and both numbers are more relevant to NFL success than any numbers Winston put up in college.

    You're really comparing the NFL game with the college game?

    That the NFL is a helluvalot tougher than college. That is what I take of that.

    PM went from 11 INT in his last year in college to 28 as a rookie.
    Luck went from 10 to 18.

    Now I wont be as retarded as rob is with this discussion, but I think that 18 INTs that Winston threw in college should be more of a red flag than his crag leg incident.

    You really can't see my point? Has it flown that far over your head?

    My point is that NFL stats are relevant and yet not always indicators of how good a young player can be. College stats are exponentially less relevant, and yet you're using them as an indicator someone will be bad. If you don't see the flaw in logic there...

    How many picks did Mariota have last year? Oh right right....it's the system though.

    I think your NFL stats would be MORE relevant next off season when comparing a high amount of INTs by MM or JM in their rookie year.

    Lets face it, we can only make assumptions going forward. One could say that it MAY NOT bode as well if a QB throws a lot of INTs in his last year in college, on a team that is superior to pretty much everyone they face, where it should be easier to pass because they are going against lesser defensives, easier schemes, etc.

    Now, on the flipside, I dont think MM low INT totals in college are an indicator he will be better or a great QB.

    I am just saying if a QB throws quite a few INT's in college one could easily assume once it gets harder in the NFL that he will also have more troubles.

    I would just be MORE ALARMED at Winstons INT totals than I would be impressed withMM low INT totals if that makes sense.

    Winston's '14 25-18 is just as relevant as his '13 40-10. Which means you guys who are caught up on the 25-18 have to explain and account for his 40-10 season while the rest us don't, because we're aware of minimal relevancy of college stats.

    Or one could say he digressed between his last two seasons.........

    but anyways........

    Anyone really think that the browns are moving up to 2 or is this just a ploy by the titans?

    Hey guys, calm down. None of the shit that comes out is truth. It's all smokescreens. Take a breath.

    Also, rob you are wrong homie.
  • robj55
    Hey guys I'm wrong because I saw Jameis throw a shit ton of terrible interceptions last year, sorry. :)
  • Automatik
    Good. Now we can move the fuck on.

    When the majority of people are saying you are wrong, chances are you are wrong. Not too mention, no one has said his defensive reading is bad like you. That's one of his strengths.

    Matt Ryan threw 19 INT's his senior season, he's thrown less than that every season he's been in the NFL. His career average per season is 13.

    I don't feel like arguing it anymore so I'll just say that you all are right and bite the bullet.

    Thanks for the empirical evidence but you shouldn't have needed to post it, if you catch what I'm saying.

    Trading the farm for Mariota would be about as dumb of a move as you could make. He may very well end up being successful in the NFL, but his playing style is similar to that of JFF's and therefore a pretty big risk. You don't sell the farm for that much of an uncertainty. I would be all for it for Winston though if they feel his character issues won't be a problem. I'd be Jameis has 3 times the NFL career Mariota does as long as he stays out of trouble.

    But if it did happen, I'd get a laugh out of the conspiracy theories of Haslam sabotaging the Browns to help his Titans.

    I'm convinced, do whatever it takes to draft MM.

    my opinion has not changed...I want the best available player at #12 and 19. I do not want to see them trade both of those picks plus extras to acquire Mariotta. I want two impact players, not one....especially a QB which in the NFL draft, sometimes resembles a crapshoot.
