What would you add to a high upside guy like Mariota to get Luck?
Nothing. Mariota is a better prospect than Luck.
You really think this? One disappointing year cut short by injury and we forget a 40 TD season?
Its an interesting discussion because Mariota is now in the top-5 of tons of dynasty rankings. So what's the gap? Curious where other people fall, and if Mariota owners are happy to pay to upgrade or if Luck owners are looking to drop a tier and pick up value.
Luck threw 616 passes in that 40-TD season. As a rookie he threw 627 and only threw 23 TDs (and 18 INTs). Mariota in his rookie year, with less receiving talent around him, had 370 attempts and 19 passing TDs (and 10 INTs).
After four years, Luck is averaging 7.0 YPA, 4.8 TD%, 2.6 INT %, passer rating 85.0.
After one year, Mariota is averaging 7.6 YPA, 5.1 TD%, 2.7 INT %, passer rating 91.5
So with weaker receiving talent, in his rookie season, Mariota is already ahead of Luck's 4-year career averages, as well as Luck's 2015 numbers.
