NFL scout says Marcus Mariota is "too nice" and questions whether he's an "alpha male"

“Like if you punched him in the stomach, he might apologize to you,” an NFL scout said. “I just don’t know if he’s that alpha male that you’re looking for. 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.

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.

Did they put a name on questioning Bridgewater's ability based on wearing a damned glove?

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.

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.

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?
