I think if Kelley stated Mariota was pushing Bennett for no. 2 last year, he was sand bagging. If you have Thomas and a capable Bennett as a backup, why would you throw away a years eligibility of Mariota by playing him instead of Bennett. Mariota just may have? been better in Kelley’s eyes but did not play him so he could redshirt him. Mariota has lived and breathed this style of offense. He will take to it like a duck to water…….

He looks good in this video. He also had a good receiving corps, which makes any QB look? good. Thankfully the Ducks have a good group of receivers and speed players. He’ll do just fine after a season as a starter, assuming he beats out Bennett. If he ends up as a back up I won’t be too worried if Bennett goes down. Go Ducks!!!

Why does everyone think he will beat out Bennet? It is extremely difficult for a freshman to come in and start, especially at the QB position. Bennet has a? lot of game-time experience and that is incredibly important in the mental and physical development of a QB. Experience is also very valuable to a QB’s confidence and awareness. Mariota is obviously insanely talented but he will need some experience to be able to adjust to the speed of the game and the intricacies of the offense and defense.

I respect your opinion, but having just watched a few? highlights of the Oregon Spring Game today Marcus Mariota’s talent is heightened by the fact that he is 6-4 and 200lbs and runs a 4.4 40 yd dash. No one at the college level is as big and fast at the position. Bennett can’t make the throws Mariota will prove he can. His speed is explosive and his arm gives new meaning to the word “canon.”
