He has good plays and bad plays. Sometimes he does an excellent job navigating the pocket, other times he steps into pressure. All quarterbacks have these types of plays, some are better at it than ot

Hmm

Telvin Smith, Yannick Ngakoue, and Calais Campbell are tremendous players...but they barely even had their names mentioned tonight.    Definitely a tremendous showing from the O-line.   Firs

That was one play and he was universally maligned for that on this forum. That's not some representation of his pressured dropbacks. Most of them are due to the offensive line. He does need to do a better job of moving within the confines of the pocket, but overall the bigger issue is that the olineman are constantly getting beat and Mariota isn't trusting the protection which leads to indecision. A lot of young QBs like Goff would struggle with this if they had this type of line play. 

But that's all they remember because it fits the agenda, he does need to improve there but the line isn't making that easy this year.

I posted the comments from Romo on this board when he was talking about Prescott and said it was exactly what was wrong with Mariota. 

 

He looks like a spread college QB who never learned to play in the pocket, maybe because that's what he is

Vrabel said today one reasin he made the change was because Marcus was not getting a usable pocket.  Even he agrees with most of the non MM haters on this board that the line needs to give MM a better pocket.

Absolutely, in fact they need to give him a perfect pocket and give him a ton of time, maybe like what Dallas gave Prescott as a rookie.

I can promise you a zone blocking scheme is not the issue with Spain. He’s more than athletic enough and played in one in college. 

Same with Conklin. Only duckie thinks otherwise.

Conklin will be fine after he’s fulky recovered and has a year where’s gotten to practice and learn the system. It’s not jus the injury but Conklin didn’t even practice until after the season started.

A good pocket and an above average rushing game = 2016 streak Mariota.  You can win with Mariota, but you better put together those aspects.

well.. hopefully (likely) a step or two better at this point.

Playing one in college doesn't negate the fact that he is a better fit in a power scheme.

If you watch Conklin on his lateral steps to begin the pass blocking play, he does seem slower to me.. take a look and tell me your thoughts on the first 2 seconds when he kicks out his right leg..
