This kid’s a kind of fly on the wall kind of guy. “Physically, he’s really talented, but it’s going to take a little time. If you’re expecting him to come in and be your savior Year 1, I don’t think that’s going to be it.” There will inevitably be questions about how well Mariota will adjust from Oregon’s spread option offense, where scheme and tempo allow him to pick apart defenses with low-risk passes. The scout said Mariota has the arm strength and mental ability to make the NFL transition, but his personality could perplex the NFL. That's interesting. Quite a few of you told me being an alpha male doesn't matter to scouts in the NFL. LOL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 This so called scout prob got picked on by alpha males his whole life...what a joke. I don't know anything about Mariota off the field, but if you are going to call out a players manhood, put your freaking name to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they put a name on questioning Bridgewater's ability based on wearing a damned glove? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitansAB Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Didn't someone say Dalton wouldn't make it because no ginger ever made it as a QB? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denali Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Oh the horror if they actually tried to assess his .... oh I don't know .... ummmm .... talent. He sounds like those stodgy scouts in the movie "Moneyball", or like coach Franklin with his girlfirend/wife crap. Consider how soft spoken Steve McNair was.

Titans279 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 If we want alpha males, what's more alpha than sexual assualt? We definitely need to take Jameis Winston. Mett only committed sexual battery, what a beta... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

headhunter Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Arent the Steelers, Ravens, Seahawks , and 49ers full of alphas? lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsntLifeFunny Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 If we want alpha males, what's more alpha than sexual assualt? We definitely need to take Jameis Winston. Mett only committed sexual battery, what a beta... Lewan threatened to rape a lady. He wasn't convicted, but that is beta status. Mett is obviously a gamma.

Actually, in context, it looks as if the writer is unsure of him being an alpha male, not necessarily if it matters to scouts. The context of what you posted suggest he just isn't the alpha male type. It is really vague, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcibiades Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 People who use terms like 'alpha male' are sexist assholes. If he wants to say Mariota isn't tough enough to play the game, that's fine. But terms like alpha male are bullshit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charleytolar Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Sonny Jurgenson? I remember some scout going overboard on Mark Sanchez being an alpha male... Likely non-alpha male QBs: Joe Montana, Tom Brady, Roger Staubach.... Didn't someone say Dalton wouldn't make it because no ginger ever made it as a QB?
