Jameis Winston had the weekend off, enjoying a Florida State game at his alma mater, but Marcus Mariota was in action.

Mariota had probably his worst game as a pro, throwing two interceptions in a 38-10 Titans loss to the Dolphins.

After Winston and Mariota were drafted 1-2 in the NFL draft, the Tampa Bay Times built a database of quarterbacks drafted in the first round since 1980. Each week we plug in the updated stats and compare the QBs at the same stage of their rookie seasons.

Through Week 6, Winston's rating (77.58) ranks 10th, just behind Byron Leftwich (78.0) and a spot ahead of Rick Mirer (76.9).

Mariota (93.62) ranks fourth on the list, topped by Todd Blackledge.
