BudsOilers Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 5 minutes ago, Justafan said: I get that and it was a heartbeat late coming out but it was a catchable ball that Jennings should have caught for a nice completion. Let's talk about how bad Taylor looked or how Hollister and Raymond balled out in comparison to guys like Jennings, because that is a much bigger story than Mariota being inches off on balls that were either caught or should have been caught by any competent NFL WR. Because guys battling for the 4th or 5th WR spots have the same expectations as your 5th year QB who you took #2 overall. Give me a fucking break. The story is that Tannehill looked ALOT better than Mariota. On TR and nationally. If Mariota doesn't step up, it's only going to become a bigger story.

You can't even get the yards on the opening drive right guy. No one compared expectations either. The fact is, the ball was catchable and Jennings should have caught it. He didn't. Blowing up because Mariota didn't throw the perfect ball in a preseason game on a handful of snaps when overall he looked decent is just asinine and pointless. By all means, though, carry on.

scine09 Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 So is the pass to Jennings the annual pass from the first preseason game that gets analyzed to death for pages and pages for a week? Justafan, japan, and TitanDuckFan 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but the latter has been discussed relentlessly. It’s not s crime to talk about other areas. Mythos27, and Justafan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he looks so much better than Mariota is saying a lot more about how bad Mariota has looked than how great Tannehill is. Tannehill looks like he could be a semi-competent game manager. I can’t say the same about Mariota the past two years. It is funny how all the guys pimping Tannehill are now tempering their positions in case he gets in and stinks it up.

It doesn't even require analysis. That's why it's easier to just agree and move on to something else. Not every throw was as bad as that one but he definitely looked rough. Let's see how he responds next week with more snaps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokes Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 After the Bills game last year I had given up on Marcus becoming a long term solution. Not much since then has changed my mind. If we're lucky and as a franchise this team generally isn't, but maybe we luck out and Tannehill gives us a Chris Chandler type of run ala when he left Houston and went to Atlanta.

Not every throw was as bad as that one but he definitely looked rough. Let's see how he responds next week with more snaps. The problem is is literally every pass he throws is microanalyzed. And it’s gonna be worse this year than at any other time. I don’t get why he just won’t put more zip on passes. He put plenty on the 4th down pass that wasn’t caught. But if he just stopped floating passes and letting them rip he’d be better. It’s like he doesn’t want the receivers to have to make difficult catches. And it negatively affects him.

Much like Davis with the hammy the year before Conklin shouldn't have come back until week 6 or 8. They we're not ready at all and only made their situations worse.

Who said he was going to light it up. It's funny how guys pimping Mariota try to make like the Tannehill side expects a pro bowl season.
