Mora made clear he isn't buying the concern.
"I don't agree with that," Mora said, per NFL.com's transcription of his appearance with Eisen. "And I would venture to say I've seen more of Marcus Mariota than Mike Mayock. And I respect Mike. If there is one voice out there that I'd listen to, it would be Mike because he does the work, he doesn't poach off of other people's information. ... But I don't think that (Mariota's) a project. I think the guy is special, that's just based upon playing him and evaluating and studying him for two years now.
"In my opinion he's the best quarterback and the best player," Mora said. "That's my opinion based upon what I've seen, which is a lot of film of him. Anytime you start to go in depth in evaluating these players, you're going to find holes. There is nobody that doesn't have a weakness, a deficiency. But Marcus Mariota has such great character, he's big, he's fast, he's strong, he can throw it."
