    One thing that has bothered me about Mariota is that he doesnt seem to much on the ball when he throws.. It seems like it takes all day for the ball to get to the receiver.

    This was something I noticed last season when he was in Oregon too.. It just seems like half his throws have pick written all over them. I'll be interested to see if this gets any better as the season progresses.. MM certainly isnt surrounded by talent in Tennessee.. Here his weaknesses will be exposed.

    It's his first preseason game. I'm absolutely NOT sure we found our quarterback. You just said yourself it didn't matter what he did you already believe it. Give me a full season and then MAYBE we will know.

    All I know, is if he is going to have a good season, he is going to have to rely on his arm and legs.

    Sankey flat out ****ing blows. That pick was embarrassing and I have no doubt that in two more years, we will be talking about how awful of a pick that was.

    Our OL situation is abysmal. Levitre isn't even the worst player out there, which is depressing. Schwenke is so bad it makes the holes at RT and OG look minor. I expect to see Galik see more snaps in camp, he can't be any worse than Schwenke.

    Hunter being Hunter. How this kid keeps getting coddled is beyond me. Guy has absolutely no balls unless he is mugging someone. Not a JAG but 100% BUM.

    Mariota needs to step up in the pocket more aggressively , it seems like he's unsure and hangs back (that fumble wouldn't have happened if he stepped up). Maybe because he knows he can run he does this but he needs to have more faith and step up aggressively (even though O line is suspect). It seemed to me like he was on his heels on plays and needed to shift his weight forward. He'll figure out what he needs to but the Oline and RB's scare me for his sake and this team.

    You realize DW feeds off negativity right. The more you want him to go away the more he's going to come back...

    I think his mother used to pour hot coffee on him anytime he would smile..

    I think he's trying not to run so he can show everyone he is a pocket QB despite his WR-like speed. It would be easy to run, I like seeing him looking to throw.. there were a few throws he used his body language to draw guys down so his receiver could get open. Kid is well on his way to being what we need.

    I was more impressed with Mett. I just don't think Mett can stay healthy he has too much of a history with injuries. At the same time, Mett didnt play against the first team defense. Mariotta did and it was horrible.

    VY would've sat down and pouted after the int ... after the fumble he would've been on suicide watch.

    Mariota responded by completing every pass he threw after that.

    Another difference is I'm sure that Mariota will be pouring over the tape from this game and likely won't make the same mistake twice.

    It's OK to make mistakes. That's how you learn. It's when you keep making the same mistakes over and over that you have a problem.

    What we need to look for is improvement every week. But overall a solid performance by Mariota IMO once he settled in

    I want to see him throw another screen, he starred Sankey down instead of looking at the TE so the LB vacated the area, that will be a good lesson for him.
