Homey D. Clown Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 this question is predicated on the basis that we are "assuming" EJ is not the answer, I am not suggesting that he is or isn't. If he is not the answer, who would you love to see drafted as the next franchise QB, since we didn't Suck-for-Luck, nor did we Blow-for-barkley, who should we "suck" for this upcoming season?
dave mcbride Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Winston, and it's not even close. The guy is a very good qb AND a good pitcher. He has a low 90s fastball and had a pretty good strikeout-to-walk ratio in 27 innings last year for FSU baseball. In other words, he's accurate - one of the three core qualities (along with arm strength and intelligence).
Ramius Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Winston, and it's not even close. The guy is a very good qb AND a good pitcher.

In other words, he's accurate - one of the three core qualities (along with arm strength and intelligence). The throws i've seen Winston make this year are nothing short of amazing. Throwing guys open, putting the ball in windows that weren't even there. His anticipation and pocket awareness are off the charts. He can run, but is not a very good runner, and prefers to stay in the pocket to make plays. EJ was a good QB for us here. Jameis is nothing short of amazing. Kid is a once in a generation talent. Hell of a pitcher too, as he's slated to be our closer in the spring. His fastball has been clocked in the upper 90s. In Miami (with their radar guys) they clocked him in the 95-97 range.
Jauronimo Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Why do we have to suck for someone? Its about the journey not the destination. Can't we simply just suck?
BigdaddyinOrlando Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Bortles UCF! Although he probably will come out this year, if not need to get him as he will be a star!!
papazoid Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 QB Brett Hundley UCLA - plays today (tues) at 2 pm

Yeah, I know he's been clocked that high, but in games his fastball is in the 92-94 range (which is plenty good).
buffalonian Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Man, thinking about this makes me feel sick. Right now I can't stomach to consider another 6-10 or worse season.
Bronc24 Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 We will never get Winston because we will never be at the bottom of the league.
yungmack Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Marcus Mariota should be on your list. Winston is just a freshman. I.d keep an eye on Kessler from USC. None of then will be available for at least another year.
nuklz2594 Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 it seems like we do not have to try to suck...we have a natural talent for it for last 15 years.
Kirby Jackson Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 I think that I like Mariota more than Winston. I think that both are going to be really good.
Homey D. Clown Posted December 31, 2013 Author Posted December 31, 2013 Why do we have to suck for someone? Its about the journey not the destination. Can't we simply just suck? Well I contended that we sucked at sucking for luck, and instead of blowing for barkley, we just blew for nothing, so I'd say we did just as you asked. We seem to be on this endless journey...
#34fan Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) To me, the ultimate answer is a new owner comitted to staying in B-lo. But as far as winning more games, we need to see improved coaching ASAP... That means better roster decisions, improved player development, more position discipline, and effective playcalling, I see EJ Manuel as molding clay in the hands of an accomplished scuptor's KID. Sure, Nat Hackett has watched his daddy, and picked up a few things. But can he DO THE JOB himself? -As far as I can tell, the answer is NO. Hackett should return to the college ranks, and build a winning resume there. The man is NOT a viable option at OC. Edited December 31, 2013 by #34fan
H2o Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Marcus Mariota should be on your list. Winston is just a freshman. I.d keep an eye on Kessler from USC. None of then will be available for at least another year. Winston is a RS Freshman, just as Johnny Football was last year. He can leave FSU after next season. He and Mariotta are by far the two best QB's potentially on the board in 2015.
need therapy Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Why do we have to suck for someone? Its about the journey not the destination. Can't we simply just suck? We already do. I think the OP is saying "if we're going to suck, let's suck with a purpose!"
LB3 Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Shameless for Jameis? Almost works. I think Winston will be one of the top QB'S in the league for a long time. Btw. I'm still on team EJ Can Improve.
BillsInMaine Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Marcus Mariota should be on your list. Winston is just a freshman. I.d keep an eye on Kessler from USC. None of then will be available for at least another year. Love Mariota, next to Winston he is the best QB in College ball right now.
