He dosent throw enough bold balls. The deeper the throw the lower the catch probability can be. But mariota seems to need the same catch probability no matter if it’s a screen vs a 40 yard post. Its probably his biggest flaw. Moreso than his footwork. If mariota threw 5 more 20 percent balls at a distance of 30 yards game over a rushing attempt the teams PPG would rise by a couple points.

Funny how that little bit got completely glossed over. If he's simply a cog in the machine then they may as well get a new rookie, they can win that way too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His critique today was pretty kind, undoubtedly for the local audience. The takeaways, though, are obvious to anyone who actually knows how to watch film. Bullshit. I've had this stance on Cosell for years. He is selling the idea his access to NFL films makes him an expert. You and others use his shit to confirm your own opinions nothing more.

I don't need Cosell to tell me any of this. I've watched it, I've pointed it out. His stats suck, 11 and 13 TDs last two seasons and he had 5 TDs in half of 2016 outside the 8 game streak. His career average is 215 yards passing per game. People have made excuses from Mularkey, dropped passes to exaggerated injuries. Can he play well at times? Sure, it's the pass happiest time in league history. He does some things well at times when everything around him is perfect.

9 Nines Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 Even if you're in a 2QB format, it's tough to rely on Mariota, who is reportedly going to be forced to compete for the starting job heading into the 2019 season. They brought in Ryan Tannehill, who has extremely similar numbers throughout his career to Mariota despite playing with lesser talent. The worst part about Mariota is that he's declined in each of the last two seasons, as this is the time in his career where he's supposed to be coming into his own. He's nothing more than a QB3 hopeful despite all the talent around him. Eighteen, and titanruss 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no info or facts that he's being forced to compete for the starting job right now. It's his. Could he lose it, yes. But the job is his until he implodes in the regular season or gets hurt.

The average rookie QB isn't good enough to even be a system QB, especially his first couple of years. That's the problem with the stud or scrub mentality, people start to just lump all non-elite QBs together as if there is no difference between mid-tier QBs and actual bums. I'm all for drafting a rookie but only if we think he's the real deal. Right now we have a QB who can run the system, keep us competitive, and maybe even take us on a deep playoff run. I'm willing to trade that in for a guy that we think is elite but I sure as hell am not willing to trade that in for some rookie that is overwhelmingly likely to bust and be completely useless just because we have Mariota fatigue. bizzyeddie, heyitsmeallen, prometheus, and 2 others 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I've been ignoring this main forum for a long time and really haven't missed anything. The same things are still being discussed ad infinitum. Still gonna peace out training camp (which will still mostly be nothing) and finally PSG#1. Edited July 4, 2019 by Titans279 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number9 Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 I am still planning on watching winning football this year. I think people discredit the 2017 team. They were a good enough team to have had a better record. Mariota was still throwing costly interceptions and not enough TDs. I don't think No. 5 QB, but Top 10 isn't unreasonable. You have to realize the team is carrying Mariota. If he was on a really bad team, you'd have a very different opinion of him. What gets a lot of us is knowing how talented the team is now and being considered the worse team in the AFC South. And everybody knows why. Mariota has had an easy life in Tennessee. None of the press has come close to just laying it out like Cosell did today. Mariota can't throw with anticipation, he even explained spot throws vs anticipated throws. The explanation of the strong side passing game explained why the receivers are covered so well. DC study this, they put their worse DB over on the weak side and he pitches a shutout. We have some receivers who can ball. Cosell explained exactly what's going on. How about a nice ball that Taywan can run under without breaking stride? Can you imagine three perfectly thrown passes to Henry in a game. That's at least six points. The QB is supposed to make the players around him better. If Mariota played like Rodgers who he is often compared to, we would idolize him. He would be the biggest name in Tennessee and we'd name our babies Marcus. That's part of what you get for being a great NFL QB. We'd pay him huge money, name streets after him and elect him mayor of Nashville if he wanted the job. But if you perform poorly in a job, people are going to criticize you. It's just part of being a NFL QB. That's just how it goes. Stay healthy. Prove you are da' man.

Either way we both know drafting/playing some rookie QB isn't the answer unless we strike gold and he's a stud. Every team that took a QB last season except for the Browns ended up with a QB worse than Mariota until they improve and that improvement is far from guaranteed.
