It's not like he plays like Tom Brady when he's healthy. He was supposedly the healthiest he'd even been going into the season and looked terrible in the preseason and 1st half of the Miami game. Produce this season or GTFO, the why is meaningless at this point. He didn’t look terrible pre injury and everyone in the world said it would take 18 months to learn the offense. You knew that going in and you still judge it based on 2 quarters during the middle of an actual fucking hurricane where there had been multiple game stoppages. Lol at preseason.

StephenIsLegend Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 One thing Oman is right about is that it IS put up or shut up time. The problem is that it seems a lot have lost their patience and already have their beliefs firmly planted. My guess is the first pick he throws everyone will be calling for a change at QB.

Popular Post FRT Posted March 26, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Nah it will happen way before that. I’m guessing Tanny will be carving up second and third strings in preseason and the pitchforks will come out. freakingeek, Justafan, Tyler Rose Fan, and 5 others 6 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Produce this season or GTFO, the why is meaningless at this point. produce or GTFO seems easy enough and I think that's true. His contract dictates that more than anything else. I'm just curious what that level of production looks like. What do you really base it on...results? playing 16 games? realistically if dip shit catches the ball in Buff and we make one fucking play in London this team would have finished 11-5 with the exact same Marcus. I'm not defending Marcus with that comment but just pointing out what could have happened with just a couple things going differently...the fine line between winning and losing and the fact that Marcus somehow manages to kinda hover right on that line. Obviously he can have a pro-bowl type season and get his extension but I think it's more than likely he may just give us kinda what he has given us...if he does that and stays healthy enough than we can compete with Marcus and he may be better than signing some Vet or drafting a rookie unless of course we are way up there in the draft. freakingeek, and TitanDuckFan 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's up to the GM to have a backup good enough that the team shouldn't need to pressure a player to come back early from something as serious as a cracked vertebra. And now we know those "Abdomen" mentions on the injury report was a strained Oblique. Sorry folks, but that's a significant "core" muscle, and we all know what that means. LOL I think Marcus probably welcomes the idea of Tannehill being a Titan, if for no other reason than the team won't (shouldn't) fall into the abyss because of a Gabbert, or a Cassel or a Mett, and he'll be able to actually recover from injuries, rather than play through the serious ones. And if he can't, then he'll likely be playing elsewhere. Justafan, and EagleEye 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justafan Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Outside of injury concerns, this should relieve quite a bit of doubt about Marcus and maybe restore some faith. Those are major injuries and it's a long list he was playing through. How many of us could go out and be effective at pretty much anything with a broken rib, plantar fascietus and a nerve issue? I would wager not many. He has to stay healthy and the Titans have to do everything they possibly can to protect him. That is the #1 goal of this offseason. Everything else is now a distant second imo. OL in the first round is an even bigger priority now than it was before. Just my thoughts.

The FO has to protect the QB in as many ways as possible. That includes better line, better blocking backs/ TE... AND not running a scheme that runs your QB often or puts him in position to get popped as the handoff man in a read-option. Who cares if his injuries that keep him out happen within the pocket as much as outside the pocket. The ones outside the pocket (and read options) are easily preventable. Spread the field out more so that blitzes are more visible and running lanes are larger when forced to bail. Whether you believe in injury prone or not.. these are steps you have to take. EVERY QBs that runs these offenses and runs more gets hurt significantly more. Marcus also has to take care of himself better. Get down like Brady/Mannings. Aaron Rodgers could have been the best ever if not for injuries because of his hustle and running. We appreciate it but it limits his time on the field and therefore limits wins for his franchise. So whether you believe in “injury prone” or not. There’s steps to be taken to reduce the chance of injury. There's a big misconception that Mariota is somehow getting hurt because he's not getting down or not throwing it away. THAT'S NOT IT. He has bad pocket presence and rarely dodges free rushers. Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are better at dodging tacklers than him. Yeah, I said it. He has straight-line speed but his is below average at scrambling. And when he does scramble, he's below average at throwing on the run. Mariota takes too many hits partially because he doesn't get out of the way and see it happening too late.

Mariota takes too many hits because he doesn't get out of the way and see it happening too late. There's definitely some truth to this. He seems to find one thing to really focus on every offseason. Hopefully this offseason, this is exactly his focus. I've seen him scramble. I know he's capable of it. But then on the next play, it's like he has zero pocket awareness.

Titans279 Posted March 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Sure, the large number of injuries help excuse the poor play but it also shows the guy can’t stay healthy. I realize it’s the NFL and everyone gets dinged up but if he just gets injured everywhere every season you can’t rely on him as your starter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
