It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I think that Winston has a better shot than Mariota, who looks much skinnier and fragile than Winston. Although Mariota is 6'4" and 220lbs, he looks one hit away from the bench.
The two best QB's last year were Brady, a pocket passer who showed great movement in the pocket, and Rodgers, who has great mobility, can run and can throw. After that, no matter what the stats say, they were all stiffs.
But those guys come along once every 30 years!
If Winston or Mariota are as good as Vick or Kapernick were for the short periods, they would bring good value to their teams.
If he wants to put levels of expectations that high on himself, good for him. To keep pace with the greatest, Winston will have to be SB champ one year from now..... And he doesn't even have a team yet.
In one year, if I still remember this happened, I'll level a judgment.
As Patriot fans, you'd think we'd be keen to these things.If he had said that he was planning for anything less than a Super Bowl, the same people calling him arrogant would be calling him things like 'mentally weak', "not confident enough" and the like.
He's confident in himself. What's the big deal?
Brady said to Kraft as a rookie that he was the best decision the organization will have ever made. Was he stupid too?
He said that to Kraft. In private. After he was drafted. Not predraft to national media. He also didn't say he'd win the SB his first year.He's confident in himself. What's the big deal?

Well, a) Brady was correct and b) he didn't make any fantastical claims on national television.

Yeah, pretty much. You might also note the other qualifications.So you're okay with over-confidence as long as it's not expressed on national television?

Those of you still trying to nitpick Winston should get the replay of Zolak's show from today. According to him, it's Winston over Mariotta after the combine, and it's not even close.
From an unnamed NFL scout:
Someone will take him in the first round, but how could you even let that guy in the building?" another scout said. "The second law of thermodynamics basically is the more ways something can happen, the more likely it is to happen. That's true of players. The more ways they can (expletive) up, the more chances they (expletive) up. This guy's got a lot of stuff that would lean him more likely to be a bust than a good player."
