Throw him into the deep end of a real NFL passing offense and see if he sinks or swims now. The coaches already know rns90 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets hurt constantly playing in a system where he doesn't even throw the ball that much. Mariota's career would have been over as a rookie if he had been thrown into the same situation as Luck. Passing 600 times behind an OL that couldn't block to save its life. He would literally be dead. Yeah, like Luck's career wasn't in jeopardy at one point. Haters gotta hate.

Smh Yes his career was in jeopardy and he is 10x better a QB than Mariota. Exactly why Mariota would have been done as soon as he started in Luck's position.

They know what he can (or can't do) and have planned accordingly. Some of the defenses in this thread are hilarious: we have the old VY defense (HE WINS GAMES)!

I've stayed away from the Mariota discussion mostly this offseason but it's well written with many examples of how good this guy is. Also it's nice to read things from people who actually watch film and break down plays than the people with short memories who only look at a stat sheet. And I also agree that Mariota would be best in a pass heavy offense on a team built around him. Lol we're really going to let a young, very good, humble QB who we haven't given nearly enough offensive development, talent or consistency to just walk out and tear it up with some other team (if healthy), aren't we? So Titans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If saying " they know " is based off of some of y'all post why pick up 5th year option and say this is his team? All they wanna see is him stay healthy and consistent.

When the fans turn on coaches or GMs their job security drops precipitously. The owners are in the business of keeping the fans happy, and wins are only part of that. Plus, it’s not like I’m suggesting tanking a Super Bowl season. They aren’t going anywhere without a good passing game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They picked it up last year and there was still "hope" that he'd progress. TWO STAFFS have basically decided that the best way to win is to go with a run heavy game plan. The coach was more or less non committal when talking about Mariota the other day. He has still not been signed to an extension. I could go on here.

So what, should we be like the eagles with Wentz and roll the dice? He's played less than Mariota by the way. And only had one good year. It's the perfect position for the Titans and Mariota to be in. I did hear Vrabel mention that. ( As in he will perform no matter of his contact status).

The perfect position would be for him to have already established himself as a franchise qb and for him to have been signed to an extension. This position is QB purgatory. Irony in pointing out that Wentz only has had "one good year" is rather funny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariota has to play a big part in that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Titans. I really hope not. I understand the hesitancy to sign him based on injuries but if he stays healthy they really need to re-sign him. And even if not depending on what the injury is, how he plays and other relevant factors I'd consider it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
