Who do you think would be the starter for the Ducks next season? Personally, I like what I've seen from Jake Rodrigues a little bit better than Lockie. Who knows, maybe there's a recruit out there that would be the day one starter. Honestly, I'm hoping MM doesn't go pro, but I sure wouldn't blame him. He's playing damn fine football this year.
They are talking like mariota and mannion could be high picks this year. Would be awesome to see that
I tend to agree with Rodriguez over Lockie though with a caveat. Jake has better tools (size, speed, big arm) but I like Jeff as the backup if MM were to go down. He's a very heady dink and dunk type who is probably better suited to filling in mid-game if MM were to go down. That said, I should go check out Mahalak one of these Friday nights as his HS is just a couple miles from my work. STOMP
It seems like Lockie has a better arm, but I don't know.... it's so hard to judge from our crummy 4th quarter play. Put MM with the guys that are playing in the 4th and I don't even know if he'd look that good.
Mediocre Man would look horrible. He'd be bitching the entire time that the refs aren't calling the game fair.
I have no idea who would win the starting job. That said, I doubt MM goes pro. I don't think he's ready.
I just have no idea. Both have strengths and will improve a lot of the next year. It's a great question that will probably be answered in the Spring Game.
I would watch more if the team didn't go into, "run the clock out" mode. An entire quarter of running out the clock.
Watching ESPN this morning, Mel Kiper was suggesting depending on team needs he could go #1 overall over Clowney STOMP
True but I don't think his passing is there quite yet. Maybe another year. Also, it is my understanding that many top college players who hang around for that extra year or two get some sort of insurance policy in the event they get hurt.
Happens a lot with NBA prospects can't imagine it doesn't happen with football prospects. Norlens Noel had close to a 10 million policy that leaked out when he got injured. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
It's all about money and draft position. If he were to win the Heisman, which is still a huge "if", I'd say he has a great shot of going #1 or #2 in the draft. Clowney hasn't been very impressive this year. Marcus is ballin', and I think he has a legit shot at being #1 even if he doesn't win the Heisman. He'd be crazy to stay in school. Just look at Matt Barkley as a good example of that mistake.
I sure hope Marcus comes back for his JR year and grooms Morgan Mahalak because our backups aren't very good D1 QB's.
I place all perceived blame for MM's backups not being up to some fan's high standards on Marcus's terrible grooming. He's a hooooOOrrible mentor some writer at NBS Sports calls him the solid favorite for the Heisman though... http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsport...a-makes-heisman-statement-against-washington/ STOMP
Maybe not the right thread for this, but... If he goes pro, then what's his comp? Without having seen much of him, he seems like a Jake Locker type rather than Cam Newton or RG3--does he have the arm to make all the throws?
He reminds me a lot of Kaepernick. His arm isn't quite as strong, but they have a lot of similarities.
Think it would suck if he left the NFL after this season. But it's prob ineviitable. Chip Kelly and the Eagles, they need to be positioning themselves for him. Who would be better it for his offense?
