BudsOilers Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Or maybe Fitzpatrick instead of Tannehill? I do like the fact that Mariota and Tannehill are very similar skill set wise though - theoretically interchangeable from a play calling standpoint.

At this point, signing Ryan Fitzpatrick is like booking a ticket on the Titanic or getting in the car with Thelma and Louise. You know how this ends. This is his 8th team. That's literary a quarter of the entire NFL. Edited March 19, 2019 by NFLStudent Number9, and Alzarius 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OILERMAN Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Cosell talked in depth about Tanniota yesterday. Wasn't too kind to MM. Said they are both underachieving top picks, said Tannehill is probably a better passer and didn't believe they would build the offense around Mariota's passing and would instead make Henry the foundation of the offense. Said they were a lot alike. Also pointed out Robinson and Vrabel had no part in acquiring Mariota and MM would def have to produce or get replaced/not resigned Number9, and tgo 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also pointed out Robinson and Vrabel had no part in acquiring Mariota and MM would def have to produce or get replaced/not resigned Tanny was at an absolute dumpster fire of an organization. I'd like to see him in a better situation. I've watched tape of both, and it's difficult to come to a conclusion. Mariota has a better team and coaching staff. They do more in terms of play calling to help him and give him more open reads and throwing lanes. He doesn't appear to be someone you hand a ball and tell to win a game, or ask too much of. But when he throws ball, it comes out quickly and gets to the target. But you can also see how he can really struggle if circumstances are difficult Tannehill has a bigger arm with better touch. Also a better creator and is truly a pass-first QB. He can hit players in stride in the short game and get the ball over defenders, he doesn't require a clear throwing lanes. Also more willing to test coverage and throw 50/50 balls. But I absolutely hate watching his tape. His team sucks. Or maybe he sucks and makes them look bad, though it appears he's fighting an uphill battle. But I like his chances on a better team with a more structured offense, given that he stays healthy.

I'm not one of the Mariota jock sniffers but this is wrong IMO. Mariota has put up a respectable number of 4th quarter game winning drives thus far in his career.

You need a plan for him, to sprinkle in passes that he's comfortable with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
