    I really don't care as much about total passing yards as much as I do his passer rating. If he can stay above 85 on the season, he'll keep the Titans in games.

    That's right about what Bridgewater did last season. 2,919 yards, 14 TDs, 12 INTS, 64.4%. I think Mariota adds about 500 rushing yards and 4-5 more TDs with his legs.

    Anything over 90 would be exceptional, IMO. He'd have to be considered ROY material.

    Bridgewater only started 12 games though.

    So he averaged 243 YPG. Over 16 games that would be close to 3,900 yards.

    Granted I don't expect Mariota to start all 16 games... OL will get him killed.

    My prediction is that by the end of the season we're all going to be thanking Tampa Bay for taking the retard with the ****-eating grin ahead of the absolute gem we got.

    I didn't get to watch yesterday, hence no comments in the game thread.

    But, the poise and calmness he showed is no surprise. The minimal plays he has made is no r. In a regular season game it's more than one or two quarters then being pulled. He's going to be forced to stay in there and make something happen. And find ways to keep the game close or help the team pull out a victory. And because I think he is a winner and as someone suggested above, has that 'it' factor. I think he will.

    With that said, there are a couple of concerns. Timing and arm strength. This may improve and increase over time. He's had a couple of balls had he just darted in there in the way a Aaron Rodgers does or even our very own Mett has, he may have had a td pass by now. I'm not sure if this is a long term concern but this needs to improve or he needs to compensate in other ways. Making quicker decisions etc.

    Pac 12 quarterbacks other than Rodgers for the most part have bombed. And most of the time it's due to not having the right kind of arm strength and not having the timing down. Both of these things I feel have reared itself with Mariota. I'm not concerned because just has I have pom poming about him all offseason. I think he will find away as long as he stays healthy. I love the kid and think he will.

    I think bridgewater possibly showed a little more ability to pass the ball early on. And many of those games were still pretty rough. I can't see 4000. Lol that's just ludicrous. 3500?? More than rg3s rookie season? Mmmm.

    3200 is probably a safe non committal cap IMO.

    I'll say he has about 3700 total yards and 25 total TDs. If he stays healthy the whole year.

    The kid looks good. Sure he has some work to do but man future looks bright. Probably 6 to 7 wins but at least we have somebody. Should have gotten a pass interference call on Delany Walker play early and Fasano hurt us with the procedure call, and so did Warmack or could have easily been a different story in the game. On top of that KC couldn't miss early. Can't wait for the season and let face the future is so bright! Lets go Titans! Give us a year and the Colts will have some competition.
