I bring back my guest from the first episode of the show Chad Casey of the Sports Car Unleashed Podcast.

These two QB’s are very different but have faced many of the same challenges that have stunted their growth.
Titans super fan Chad breaks down the career of Marcus Mariota and I do the same for Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston.
Is Mariota injury prone ? Can Winston ever cut down on turnovers?
These questions and more are discussed plus we give our thoughts on if either QB will be the franchise quarterbacks they were drafted to be.
