tgo Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 10 hours ago, Titans279 said: What kind of performance would it take for Mariota to get benched in game for Tannehill? The thing is he is so conservative with the ball that he's very unlikely to have a ton of picks. Probably a game like the Ravens game last year, but they'd probably bring him back as starter the next game. I think it would take an injury or a total meltdown over multiple games.

Some will laugh hysterically, but I'm not so sure Vrabel wouldn't have pulled him in the 3rd against the Browns had he started the 2nd half the way he played the 1st. He came out in the 3rd though and immediately hit AJ for the 51 yard gain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just missed a handful of passes. If he would have pulled him that’s that for Mariota. If he was on that short of a leash they should just put Tannehill in now.

He came out in the 3rd though and immediately hit AJ for the 51 yard gain. The Pittsburgh game was in 2017. Last year he only threw multiple picks in the Miami game which were on the two consecutive throws after his injury IIRC He had more multi-pick games in 2017 though. It's an interesting question. I have been trying to think if there's like a standing ~10% chance Mariota will get benched due to performance every week or if it's only going to be injury. If they bench him due to performance they have to be sure they're ready to say the Mariota era is over. As much as you just want it to be performance that dictates who plays benching a starting QB is different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted September 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 The titans dont put him positions to rack up INTs and he’s so risk adverse he’ll take sacks like the Ravens vs throwing risky passes. If the offense stalls because of him 2-3 games in a row his job would be at risk Karkosa 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis is better in traffic because he's shifty so put Henry in to draw attention and go play action or screen to Lewis. But to your point Lewis has been disappointing so far.

After the first TD drive the longest drive was 44 yards, aside from the screen It was 4 first downs...2 would have been 1st downs anyway and the penalties on those two cost us yards in the end..20 yards Drive started inside the 10 I think cause personal foul on Titans on kick off But whatever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvgJoe Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Yep. I’d keep it as quiet as possible and spring Tannehill on the Jags. Karkosa 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be the biggest news in a LONG time if he does bench him. He needs to, though. There's no defending the poor play today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
