Already showing leadership skills.. I think he could be real good for Oregon, then again, I really think Mariota will be good too. Such a good problem to have.

Yeah great problem to have. BUT IMO Marcus is better with him already knowing and running the Oregon Oooofence in High school.

Do you people have any idea how far we have come as a program, when a kid from California says this? This quote is freaking unbelievable to me.

Theres something I like about this kid and I have a feeling he'll come in and play right away. He has some intangibles I haven't seen in other Chip Kelly QBs. Check out his highlights and let me know what you think.

What am I missing on Marriota? Why so much love for a guy who couldn't start in HS until his SR year and weighs in at 185lbs? I'm glad he's a duck, but he isn't better than Bennett or Jake Rod.

Will see huh? He ran our same offence perfect it LOOKED like in HS his SR year. Look at his stats look how he throws the ball off one foot 30 yards for a TD he is great with the opition and reads i take it you didn't watch that kid play at all on his highlight. Or him running a 4.4 being 6'4" 185-195 depending on him getting bigger from hanging with Coach Rad. I don't think he is better the BB but I think he is better then Jake but there different style QB's.

He's probably the most athletic QB on our roster and he's 6-4, 200lbs according to GoDucks.com

Bennett and Rodrigues ran/run the same O also. As does our forgotten QB recruit Lockie, who I'm going to go out on a limb and predict he comes in and beats them all out, because he just isn't getting any love at all.

Didn't Chip also say something about him playing so well in camp that he almost became the back-up?

Yes, the coaches are very high on Mariota from what I have heard. I don't know where that will put him in the pecking order in coming years, but however it plays out, it is clear the future at the QB position is looking bright.

How about this . Mariota IMO will be one of the greatest QB's to ever come out of Oregon. Chip even said he was already pushing Bennett for the secong QB spot.

He is as tall as Dennis Dixon and nearly as fast. He has tremendous throwing mechanics, having been tutored by one of the best high school quarterback coaches (many high schools don't even have a quarterback coach, some not even an offensive coordinator) in St. Louis High's Vinnie Passas, who trained Jason Gesser, Tommie Chang, Jeremiah Masoli, former Utah starting quarterback Darnell Arceneaux and former Hawaii starter John Hao, five starting division one quarterbacks in all. Masoli and Gesser started in Rose Bowls, Chang set NCAA passing records, and Arceneaux became Mariota's head coach at St.Louis.

Asked about Mariota, Passas told reporter Paul Honda of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, "He has the accuracy of Jason Gesser. Has the coolness of Timmy Chang. Has the competitive spirit of Darnell Arceneaux," said Passas, who coached these passers. "So he's all of those guys built into one guy, and that's Marcus. He's faster than all of them. He's smarter than all of them. So if we're choosing sides and I have the first pick, Marcus would be the first pick. Don't tell Darnell that."
