No1TitansFan Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 On a side note, we took out our first of hopefully many to come opponent's QBs, Sudfeld to have surgery for a broken wrist: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/27352252/eagles-qb-sudfeld-breaks-wrist-surgery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythos27 Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Y'all know what's funny? Alex Tanney looked better than both Tanny (hill) and Mariota! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he plays well against those defenses it's meaningless because he's supposed to but bad play certainly matters. Concern about Mariota is warranted, saying that it's all said and done isn't yet IMO. Matt Ryan has been pretty mediocre in the preseason the past couple years, but he's still been one of the best QBs in that span. Brady has had some pretty shit preseasons over the years too. So on and so forth. The concern with Mariota should be his injuries and inconsistent play over his 4 years in the NFL. Preseason shouldn't even be thought about.

Preseason shouldn't even be thought about. Neither has been as bad as Mariota looked last night. He was below average at best. He needs to kill it the next few weeks and make people forget his performance last night. I'm rooting for him but that's the truth. 10 A See 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say his arm is totally shot but then he flashes the ability to throw a little heat so I'm left to think he's choosing to throw these lob-like balls which then makes me think "who the fuck would willingly throw like that"? It's weird and it definitely didn't exist his first 2 years. This is who he is. Go watch preseason tape from years 1 and 2 like I did this morning. It was sobering...

FRT Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Barring injury MM’s fate is in his hands. Here is the ball kid, FedX jr. seems to know how to put you in the best spot to win. Team seems too talented too well coach not to be competing for the division. Injury or poor play confirms the pattern and sends him out the door. I’m guessing this leash will be no longer than 6 regular season quarters. The rest is ...... yes....... NOISE. Mythos27 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justafan Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 They picked up some first downs and would have gotten a FG out of the drive in a regular-season game. They were clearly trying to work on basic routes and build some chemistry with Humphries... and they succeeded at what they were trying to do.

He hasnt grown or worked out his flaws. Its evident if you go back and watch him from year 1 to year 5. It pains me to admit it but it's all there.
