The recent Bennett decision caused the immediate need. As much as I would like to see Mariota become the all-time best Oregon QB during a 4-year playing career,...it is a fact that he will be eligible for the NFL draft following each season from here forward. If he has a 'Heisman quality' season in 2013, his value will skyrocket,...particularly in Philadelphia. Based on today's roster, that could leave Oregon with 2 untested RS sophomore QB's for 2014 in Rodrigues and Lockie.
