Winston is off to a rough start but NFL rule of thumb is you can't fully judge a QB until games 30-40.
Doesn't help him in the comparison between Mariota and Winston that he's not very smart or mature. Mariota is both.
Winston was accepted into Stanford. Intelligence isn't the issue.
Just confirming that was sarcasm.

Ok, it wasn't sarcasm.
I know he was offered by everyone. It's not that hard for a football recruit to get into Stanford. It does not mean at all that you're smart. You need a low B average at whatever shit Alabama high school you attended, and it won't matter if what classes you took, and a relatively easy-to-achieve score on the SAT / ACT.
So back to your point: that he was recruited and offered by Furd means absolutely nada.
He was accepted into Stanford. That just happened to be the first link I pulled up.
