Mariota is a spread offense QB and that scares the heck out of me when he tries to move to the NFL. There is a bad track record for the vast majority of spread QBs. I am not saying he is a guaranteed bust but the odds aren't in his favor.

Alex Smith does a pretty good job without throwing any long passes.

I'm sorry, Chip Kelly seems like the type who would overpay big time for Mariota. Maybe not Ditka/Williams overpay, but he would overpay

Don't even compare the two. Mariota is better and will have a much better career than Tebow. smh

from the CBS draft scouting....
Overly reliant on his first read, and occasionally commits the cardinal sin of throwing late across his body. Accuracy can be an issue, as Mariota misses too many open receivers, including high-percentage underneath passes.
COMPARES TO: Colin Kaepernick, 49ers -- Inconsistent accuracy is one of several reasons why Mariota most closely resemblesKaepernick among current NFL quarterbacks. Because of their extraordinary acceleration, each is a true dual-threat. Further, both adept at sliding laterally to create wider throwing lanes and using their velocity to zip passes through them. Neither Kaepernick nor Mariota, however, consistently throw their receivers open, only sporadically providing teammates run-after-the-catch opportunities.

The defenses he was going up against were not.

So you're saying you want an Alex Smith type QB? Do you think you will win anything with him? Smith didn't even complete a TD pass to a WR last year.
If Pace takes Mariota at 7 and he turns in Alex Smith he will be looking for a new job.

Alex Smith is like the anti Cutler, he doesn't take enough chances but he also doesn't get his Defense in bad positions.
I'd like to find a guy somewhere in the middle of those 2.

I think this dude will be a bust. Don't ask me why or what the fuck. Just my thought.

Where the hell did you get that I want a Alex Smith type QB for the Bears out of my post? We were simply comparing Mariota to other QB's and I never said I wanted that type of QB.

Well the debate in this thread is about whether or not Mariota would be worth the 7 pick. Some say yes, some say no. You commented that that Alex Smith is successful in the NFL completing 5 yard passes which most would infer that you would be happy with that type of QB. Alex Smith is a below average QB and if Mariota is like Alex Smith he isn't worth the 7th pick in the draft.
