Re: Marcus Mariota
Well if he is a 2 star on scout and he is committed to the Ducks. He could win every award in high school football and he will never get any more stars according to scout!!

However, back to the topic, Mariota has potential to be a dynamic player. It's just a matter of how he develops when he's here.

Re: Marcus Mariota
I hope the Ducks are taking 2 QB's in this class. Nothing in this guys video makes me think he's something special. Dont get me wrong he looks OK but not the next big thing.

Re: Marcus Mariota
i think it depends if Masoli stays. if he stays, probably one. if he goes, then most definitely 2. if the coaches aren't sure about hawkins, than 2 as well.Duck Dogers wrote:I hope the Ducks are taking 2 QB's in this class.

Re: Marcus Mariota
After landing Mariota, I am almost positive we'll end up with another QB, unless we miss out on all the QBs were are interested in.hines wrote:i think it depends if Masoli stays. if he stays, probably one. if he goes, then most definitely 2. if the coaches aren't sure about hawkins, than 2 as well.Duck Dogers wrote:I hope the Ducks are taking 2 QB's in this class.

Mariota is a project player who is athletic enough to move around the depth chart if needed. He's basically insurance who will redshirt and ride the bench the first few years. If he lives up to potential, he could be a good QB for us. But I still expect us to go after another QB regardless of Masoli.
You might be right, but the Mariota commitment made it seem clear we would still go after another QB this class, and probably a highly ranked QB as well.
