The entire offense was exposed , which includes the QB. Teams focused on stopping the running game, putting more pressure on him to move the ball, and it resulted in a 13 TD 15 INT season. I'm not sure why this is being used to defend him. It just gives more substance to the argument that the OCs have had to hide him in the offense Edited May 25, 2019 by abc2330 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should have separated the thought out. I'm just confused on the sudden disdain for Mariota and Winston. Not as much Winston cause things were leading that way. But its just nuts to me the sudden turnaround from backing the two to wanting to push both out of the league like they are hot garbage.

Callidus Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) I think most of arguments we have on here about mariota all lead to one thing. Inconsistency. But not just in the way everyone uses the word normally. He does have pro's and con's. Pro's Clutch, Accurate, Athletic, dosn't make many mistakes, team belives in him. Con's Pocket awareness, indecisive, injury prone, throwing on the move. The reason I say inconsistent but not in thenormal way is that everything I listed as a agreed upon strength and weakness can be put in the other catagory as well some times. Indecisive but throws no-look passes. No pocket awareness but looks like Russel Wilson once every few games. Accurate but tosses a Gabbert pass once and a while. Most qb's have a near undeniable set of good and bad qualities but Mariota's strengths and weaknesses are also the oppisite from week to week. I still think he can and hope he does succeed but its like buying scratch offs with him. Point being most inconsistent players are better or worse but are generally good or bad at the same things. He is just everywhere. Edited May 25, 2019 by Callidus EnlightenedTitan777, and Thrill 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OL struggled because they couldn't blow 8 defenders off the LOS in a predictable scheme , which put more pressure on Mariota to make the most of his opportunities. Which he did not.

Ricky Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 And yes he looks slow and confused, but remember what was said about learning Lafleur system, it would take some time. How many HC, OC, has he been through. I agree he needs to stay healthy and step up his game. But the changes hasn’t helped his confidence and game speed any at all. He looked confused. Throw in the injuries and he hasn’t lived up to what everyone wants in franchise QB. This year is make or break for him with the titans. The long list of injuries that was reported after the season sure didn’t help him either. Lots of things have affected his game. Our interior line was collapsed many times. How many dropped passes, dropped TD’s, etc. go back and rewatch games and you see dropped passes in every game. I’m not blaming it all on everything else, he does need to step up. But this is his year to shine with the added offensive weapons. Titan Up. bosss50 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what exactly is the minimum a rookie qb is "expected" to do?

The pitchforks just came out so suddenly with Mariota. I think this narrative was built that all of Mariota's problems were on Mularkey and this false premise was built he was in some outdated offense. A year ago people were convinced Mariota was going to light it up under LaFluer. LaFluer came in and Mariota looked exactly the same and then people realized it was Mariota Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
