    As a fan of his, it's a concern of mine as well. It's kind of interesting, if he couldn't go long, you would think this would have come up at the combine and his work outs and it would have been reported. I dunno, maybe that's why San Diego ultimately passed up on him and decided to keep Phillip.

    It's something I'm fairly confident he will work on in the offseason, nonetheless. Keep in mind, he JUST turned 22. He's not 26 and Andrew Luck showing these issues. He has time:

    You mean Douglas, who's been Mr Drop, Hunter, who's barely seen the field because of the coach who was just fired, DGB, see previous, Wright and Walker have been the only good receivers actually on the field. GTFO

    I wouldn't say Hunter, DGB, Douglas is better right now than any past/present receiving corp we have had, and Henry at that time is better than any RB on this roster right now.

    MM8's season isn't over yet, but he will shatter VY's 12 TD's Titan's record before the season ends.

    I believe he can and will correct it with time, we just need the OL to give him time as well to throw the ball. He goes through all his reads, which is rare for rookie QB's. Most young QB's just start running if the first read isn't there....we just need to keep him upright.

    He can throw deep, but he hasn't had much success with it yet this season.



    The first pass shown is 50yds through the air.

    Huh? I think you got that backward. Hunter averages more snaps than Douglas and although I don't have a source for it, I would bet more drops as well. Hunter averages 44 snaps per game, I think only Wright has more of the WR and TE.

    give him time, you draft a QB for the future, not for the win now attitude. Teams that draft QB's for the future have had the most success with molding them, we don't need to be desperate because we're not anywhere close to sniffing greatness, but with Mariota, at least we can be set at QB and worry about the other positions.

    Why blame Mariota when you look at our running backs. If you wanna compare Vince Young to Mariota in terms of production and wins, look at the help they had. Vince had better running backs, better defense, and a better offensive line. @TitansWillWin2
