The explanations that makes sense of the facts are: thinking MM is better than RT, still believing he could turn it around and be the future, or being forced to by AAS. I dont agree with Oman's premise. If it's true then jrob should be criticized for not doing something about the QB position in the offseason. The more likely scenario is they want to see if he turns it around based on the team's investment in Mariota.

It would take an unrealistic turn around and he’s no where close bosss50 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Oman is right and J-Rob et al "know what they have" in Mariota aka he sucks, then IMO it's a fireable offense. It would take offensive levels of decision-making to continually hamstring your team with a QB you believe is a bum and not do anything to try to acquire a legit starter or QBOTF. If the staff really thinks Mariota is that bad and they didn't do everything they could to take a QB in the last draft, that's unacceptable. I really doubt this is the case though. bosss50, oldschool, enigma, and 4 others 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That whole scenario being pushed is silly. It’s simple. JRob and Vrabel have no ties to Mariota. They aren’t going to start a guy who they feel is worse. And Strunk let JRob gut Mularkey like a fish after he won a playoff game so I doubt she is demanding Mariota start. Just sit back and know confidently that this will be handled the right way. bosss50, and Mythos27 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They signed Tannehill to hedge their bets and have insurance if Mariota flames out or gets injured this year. Honestly it looks like you are going to end up being right about Mariota so there is no need to take it this far. titanruss, bosss50, and Mythos27 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBukafax Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 Tannehill bombed today. Looks like the tables have turned. He’s probably on the verge on becoming third string behind GOATside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bizzyeddie Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 3 hours ago, Soxcat said: It really wouldn't matter if JRob drafted Mariota and Vrabel was the coach. You don't let the guy take you down if you think you might a better option. It is unlikely they really planned on Tannehill taking over as a better option but more so as insurance as stated. Still, Tannehill "bombed out" but he wasn't pure manure either. Not like Gabbert, Ponder, Locker ad other guys like that. There is some glimmer of hope for Tannehill resurrecting his career IMO. I guess if JRob had drafted him at least you would know there was something there that he liked about him initially....as it is now we really don't know if Mariota is his kinda QB at all. Not much but it's something. It would make me feel a little better if I was Mariota. I think it's safe to say that JRob knew what kinda coach he wanted and it wasn't Mularkey. He bides his time and makes a move. Tannehill and Mariota are both not signed for next year. They are on one year deals as it is. Really seems to me this is part of JRobs plan and we will have 2 new QBs next year. Either way Tannehill is better than Gabbert and had he been on the team last year he could have made a difference. We got 2 guys and I don't care who plays...my guess is it will take both of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenjami Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 A QB controversy would be the best thing for Mariota. We all know he's a fired up alpha male and that will finally shine if he feels the heat. LOL Mythos27, OILERMAN, and TNTitans 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
