Marcus looked competent on that drive!   Then....he goes balls out on a preseason 2 pt conversion. I expect to hear of elbow numbness soon. RIP in peace.

Both QBs played well, mariota against starters and Tanny against backups.   We should be happy for both.

I felt Mariota played well last week.  He’s had many  good (and occasionally even great) games in his career;  last week wasn’t the first and it won’t be the last.  

 

Regardless whether he plays well or poorly...it simply reinforces what we already know:  he’s inconsistent.   Good, bad, or in-between...he rarely sustains it for more than a couple weeks. 

 

He’s played quite well at times...but not often enough to earn an extension.   He’s also played quite poorly....but not enough to convince JR and Vrabel to replace him. 

 

Last week’s game didn’t offer much new information...nor did the game before that nor will this week’s game.  All we can say for certain is that he’s currently a long way from being a tier 1/tier 2 QB who plays at a high level on a regular basis.

I've also never seen him dominate for four quarters. Where he was the best player on the field for both teams.

Mariota was fine this week. Preseason really doesn't matter unless he just looks like complete shit. Then you start to wonder what's wrong with the guy he can't complete basic passes against a vanilla defense.

 

During the season Mariota has to be more than fine. He needs to blow 2017 and 2018 out of the water and even eclipse 2015 and 2016.

 

The expectations have dropped so low for him. He should be able to have better seasons than guys like Dak Prescott or Mitch Trubisky.

 

Given we expect to be a run based team you hope he's more like Jared Goff at least. That shouldn't be too much to ask.
