I’m getting a kick out of these save face posts from all the “Excuse Mariota at all costs” posters. Please continue

right. Had a buddy send me this video to show me how bad the OL is. He says “see! There’s no reason he should be pressured into throwing it away when it’s 6 on 2”. Idiots. Idiots everywhere

"sometimes it feels like were blocking forever out there" *insert gif of mariota running into pressure after 7 seconds and a two man rush*

like I have said MULTIPLE times to you few that have cemented yourself to this sinking abomination: providing a case that Tannehill isn’t some great comebackQB, doesn’t disprove Marcus sucks at the job he’s paid to do which is throwing the football. also. Marcus never even got into field goal range. Tannehill was able to twice. Had the situation not dictated four down territory we likely at least get 6 points. Remove the 10 points Marcus gifted with turnovers and your left with a tie game, one that is winnable by a field goal. Which Tannehill showed he could get us into range when Marcus couldn’t even get into enemy territory. Its beyond time to jump ship sailor.

Jesus. You really are cemented to this ship aren't you?

im not even sure what you’re trying to do here. Prove Tannehill isn’t good? Who the fuck said he is and would lead us to victory? It’s just a glaring display of how TERRIBLE Marcus is when he can’t complete easy out routes and screens, but the backup can.

this is schtick right? He completed, quite easily I might add, the same passes that Marcus was throwing in the dirt

Goddamn I’m so tired of hearing announcers say “A QB at this level has to complete that pass”

Does it matter? Even if Good Mariota shows up he’ll be back to scrub next week. The team isn’t winning more than 8 games. If he plays well and we win today, then we’re right on schedule.

At this point it seems to me they’re just trolling from the opposite perspective of the “haters”. I can’t fathom how anyone with any amount of football knowledge is watching these games and thinking “geez, this poor QB just can’t catch a break with these scrubs around him and the OC holding him back”

I’m dumbfounded that people are actually using the old “it’s the OC!” line again. Seriously? Every OC Has put him in a conservative offense. Every. Single. One. Why? There’s a common denominator here, and it’s not “bad luck”. Ive been a Marcus fan. Then I saw YET ANOTHER oc put him in this type of offense, and it clicked for me. He’ll be up and down all year like he’s been the last two and we’ll finish somewhere between 5-8 wins. I expect he’ll play well tomorrow and all the village idiots will point and say “See! He’s just fine! The line played better! The WR played better!” But we know how this story goes the remainder of the season.

7-9 was my prediction after Luck announced his retirement. The Jags and Colts games in the first quarter were 2 of the seven wins I had projected, so 5 seems about right to me. Even more so after what I've witness the last five games. What makes it worse is that I don't see us getting completely blown out in most of these losses. Our defense will keep the game within reach in most if not every loss, just making the loss hurt more. I'd feel better about the games if we were just a total all around dumpster fire of a team, but that clearly isn't the case. The team's few weaknesses are being magnified by total ineptitude at the QB position. And a top 5 defense is going to finish with 5-7 wins. I wonder how many times that's happened in the NFL.

Thats a "which testicle would you rather have bitten off?" scenario

I’m glad you were reminded, hopefully you decide to do the same again because you offer nothing

I think he’s terrified of getting hurt again. Any pressure at all and he goes full on turtle shell protection mode. This is why he won’t just let it rip knowing he’s going to take a shot, which QBs do every week. Nothing is going to change. We’ll be somewhere around 6-9 wins depending on how many good or bad bounces we have in games. Season is boring and not worth investing any time in. Up and down, up and down, to 8-8 we go. This isn’t a playoff team with this guy at QB.
