This. Aside from the off field concerns, the guy was an absolute turnover machine last year. You rarely see a guy reduce his turnovers when going from college to the NFL.

Honestly, if Winston starts 16 games as a rookie, he may set a new NFL turnover record.

Who has the record, Luck?

I think Mariota will bust.  I was telling my Bucs friend, I REALLY REALLY hope they take Mariota over Winston.  I think Winston's going to be very good, if not great, and Mariota will be between Manziel without the wannabe rockstar attitude and RG3 without the ego.  Which could be solid, but I wouldn't bet on it.

George Blanda somehow threw 42 interceptions in a 14 game season in 1962. That is pretty amazing. Of course that was before the merger. Testaverde threw 35 interceptions in 1988 for the post merger record.

 

Peyton, Eli and Favre are up there for recent players.

I'm not afraid of Winston.

I'm not afraid of him either. But I do think Winston will be a better pro...and a good one at that. I don't think he will have significant off field issues and he will be a highly regarded QB for many years. I think Mariotta is not as good and reminds me more of Alex Smith. Not great but not awful and won't win or lose you the game.

 

I'm not afraid of Winston at all this coming year. As a rookie he will get schooled. He'll make some great plays no doubt but they will still continue to lose. Kind of like we did with Cam's rookie year. A lot of flash but we still lost most games. My concern, not fear, is that he will progrss well and soon the Bucs will be a damned good team contending with us every year. I don't want that.

 

I'd love for them to select Mariotta and not trade down. Someone said and I agree, that I don't want them with a metric poo ton of draft picks. While they don't draft A+ they still will get some play makers with 672 draft picks from the Eagles or whomever. Take the safe pick QB from Hawaii and move on. The draft will eb riveting if that happens.

Not sure.  Can't find it.  

 

After doing a little quick digging, I'm not sure if the record will ever be broken.  George Blanda threw 42 INTs in one season. 42.  Wow.

 

Kerry Collins and Dante Culpepper both had 23 fumbles in a single season.

 

Yikes.

No one should be. Had a cake schedule all year and was exposed as soon as he faced a halfway decent defense with a solid and athletic secondary. If you can cover his receivers and start getting to him in the pass rush he will force it into coverage every time. Mariota may have a lower ceiling, but I can see him at least being an effective game manager in a west-coast offense scheme.

23 lost fumbles? Or 23 fumbles total?

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
