I hear that train a comin'. It's comin' round the bend...and that train is the Marcus Mariota hype train. There were so many people that doubted Mariota coming into the NFL for various reasons...mainly the offense he played in at Oregon. Those people have been dwindling away as training camp and the preseason has gone on. The Mariota hype train is currently picking up passengers in drove.
You can count Don Banks as one of the believers. He wrote an article today ranking the new quarterback starters in the league, and he has Mariota 2nd behind Sam Bradford.
