Winston will need to tune up his action. He isn't compact as he needs to be. Takes too long to get the ball out. He's not as bad as Tebow was with his arm going down but he brings it down a little bit. Needs to be more compact.

I'm not sure about his mechanics.... But for mine he ticks the biggest box of them all for a QB coming out of college... He works through his progressions... He doesn't bail when his first option is covered.

He makes all the throws he needs to when the pressure is on....

He just needs to grow up...

Mariota is exactly what he looks like IMO, the trouble is there is 2, maybe 3 NFL coaches capable of putting him in the position he needs to be in to succeed

if i were Mariota, id call Chip, tell him im purposely throwing my pro day and combine, and going to fake some kind of off field incident in hopes it makes him fall right into Chips lap.

Sean Peyten would be facinating with him too

He was great again today despite missing 4 out of the 5 starters on the ducks o-line & is still the Heisman front-runner

I wouldn't say he was great today. Utah really let Oregon off the hook today.

I question his decision making in pressure situations, although his legs do get him out of a lot of trouble. The Ducks system makes him look better than he really is imo.

Oregon and Mariota will get exposed in the Play offs.

Well have to wait and see who the better pro is but I'd know who I'd have money on.

240yds 3TD 0 INT + 118yds 1TD rushing is a great performance

There is not a better player in America than Marcus Mariota...he put Oregon completely on his back tonight #OREvsUTAH

Marcus Mariota and Oregon clinched the Pac-12 North and a spot in the conference title game with a 51-27 win over Utah, but the game proved quite costly to just about everything but the quarterback's Heisman Trophy hopes.

Already down key players this season, the Ducks suffered a rash of injuries against the Utes. Star cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, one of the top DB prospects in college football, left the game in the second quarter with a leg injury and was seen with a walking boot on his left foot later on. All-American center Hroniss Grasu became the fourth Ducks starting offensive lineman to suffer a major injury this season and was helped off the field in the fourth quarter. Tight end Pharaoh Brown left in a cart in the fourth quarter after hurting his leg.

Luckily for Oregon, it still had Mariota dazzling with the ball in his hand no matter what was thrown at him.

Mariota did little to alter his status as the Heisman front-runner, finishing with three touchdowns through the air on 239 yards to go with his career-high 18 carries for a game-high 114 yards rushing and another score. Despite bad snaps, tons of pressure and several drops, Mariota was just about the only reason the Ducks left Salt Lake City with a win, as he was able to elude defenders with ease while throwing some impressive passes that no doubt caught the eye of the NFL scouts in attendance.

Winston has thrown 9 interceptions to Mariota's 2 so far this season

Half your points are criticising Oregon not Mariota, Oregon may not win the title but it wont be because of Mariota, just because Winston has a better team around him it does not mean he is the better QB

Winston gets to throw to guys like Kelvin Benjamin & Rashad Greene while Mariota's best WR has been Josh Huff

The Mariota/Winston conversation is a lot like the Manning/Leaf conversations back in the day.

Winston may grow up and go on to a very successful NFL career but when a guy like Bo Jackson, who is from the same town, comes out and says he's done with him and his parents says he needs somebody to babysit him all the time that is going to throw up a lot of red flags.

He looks like a Charles Clone, just has to work on his fumbles.

Several of the top backs coming out have fumble issues. Gordan, Yeldon and Abdullah all seem to have issues holding on to the ball.

I don't think you guys got the Bama game down there but they were good against a very good Miis St offense. Their defense has only allowed 13 TD's in 10 games.

Melvin Gordon's record didn't last long, Samaje Perine is the new rushing record holder with 427yds for Oklahoma

Also East Carolina's Justin Hardy broke Ryan Broyles record for career receptions in CFB with 350 catches so far
