    You have a guy being revered in the titans building and throughout the organization for being a warrior.

    The most casual of fans watches Titans games and is like who's that dude with the dreads flopping all over missing tackles and getting destroyed

    Michael Griffin.

    2 plays into the first preseason game after 6 months of hearing about how griffin played hurt, had 2 surgeries, he's the backbone of the team.

    I see Griffin jump in with his head down missing completely on a tackle.

    That my friends should tell you about all you need to know about this organization. Marietta could become the next Payton Manning, but he will never have a supporting cast or coaching that will take him anywhere.

    At least with Mett I can root for an LSU guy. its the small wins that count as a titans fan/.

    You never expect a rookie QB to be perfect. You never expect that a rookie QB will come in and win a lot of games. Expectations for a rookie QB should never be too high, but there are somethings you would like to see from the young QB moving forward. Things that indicate the QB can be successful in the league.

    Mariota has been checking a lot of boxes of things I would like to see. He just checked off a few more boxes with that game yesterday:

    Can he put together a game winning drive? Check
    Can he makes plays with the game on the line? Check
    Can he pull out a come from behind victory? Check
    Can he win games with his arm? Check
    Can he make the team around him better? check

    Bingo....He doesn't need a rocket arm. I'll take good decision making and short accurate passing any day. We all have a lot to be happy about with Marcus so far.

    When a guy is throwing under pressure every time due to a bad OL, and he is throwing no int's. And is still putting up TD's. I think you can go close to saying you have a solid foundation. Couple that with his personal traits and leadership traits.

    We are in to a winner here. It's now up to the front office to surround him with winners to full capitalise on his ability. If we don't in the past 10 years time we will still be looking for THE GUY. Only problem will be we will have missed an opportunity win one wearing the number 8 jersey.

    I think we can all see that we've finally got ourselves a franchise QB! We just need to build a solid team around him and the skies are the limit.

    It will take a couple more years before I can be "Completely" sure. However, things are certainly looking better than I have seen for a young QB with this team. I am more confident in Mariota now than I was in McNair his first year as a starter.
