It's insane how you think throwing great passes in shorts is the positive equivalent to sailing balls left and right in shorts with no pressure. It'd also be moronic for someone to think that a tight end complimenting their QB is the positive equivalent to a teammate trashing their QB. Determining what should be the baseline of expectations matter greatly, something you obviously don't understand by believing that dismissing some positives while berating negatives is being hypocritical Edited August 2, 2019 by wiscotitansfan BudsOilers, rns90, and big2033 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excelling in red jerseys during OTAs/Training Camp or even preseason is expected. Struggling in those situations is a huge red flag. It’s going to take sustained good play in real games to tell where he’s really at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasnt endorsing what he said if you if any if you actually took the time to actually read my post, just his right to say it without out all the uproar by the people who routinely fabricate or exaggerate the negative.

Popular Post Mythos27 Posted August 2, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 This board has a long held tradition of letting Kyle slide on shit like this. We're really gonna make this another monster Mariota thread? C'mon, the Kyle preseason hype up threads are as much a staple of the board as his mock drafts in the off-season. We really gotta relax. All it takes is for someone to mention Mariota and you get 40+ pages of period blood. TitanDuckFan, oldschool, IsntLifeFunny, and 6 others 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nash Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 I just watched MM in the video from camp .. he made 4 throws, the last being a rollout throw.. take a look at the first 3 throws.. It sure looks like he has widened his base this year and is using his body and legs to make those throws.. GLinks, and enigma 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not supposed to be all things equal, because it's not If Mariotas career was known for his consistent play with the occasional gaffe it'd be one thing, but there's a reason why the only people who are really blindly sold on the guy being the answer are homers....

If he can make strides here, his consistency can improve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just calling you out that you think people dismissing praise (that should be expected) while constantly berating the guy when he fucks up even in practice is being hypocritical Stop cryingr about it, you don't need to be complimented for doing the basics of your job but you damn well better be scolded for fucking up Edited August 2, 2019 by wiscotitansfan big2033, and Justafan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And your the one throwing a hissy fit over Kyle's normal hype post which has 3 likes lol.

Because they nitpick and blow the positives completely outta proportion Exactly. If he had strung together more consistent play (outside of that stretch 2016) there would be nowhere near as much as discussion on him and his failings. All we are really asking for is for him to play good football for an extended period of time (not just a few games here and there) and to stay healthy.
