    Wait there's actually Titans fans who HATE Mariota? LMAO

    He's a 2nd year player playing on one of the worst teams in football and already has thrown 2 tds and back to back weeks with a clutch come from behind victory with literal garbage at WR's.

    I know people just expect to see Peyton Manning out of him already but chill out. He's going to be a star in this league. Our team is just garbage and it's hard to win games right now. Kendall Wright 100% healthy could give us another semi reliable target to go along with a rookie that is getting a ton of hype in Sharpe and the 2nd best tight end in football (Walker). We're on the rise. Just don't expect to see amazing results in Mariota's SECOND season. He obviously needs more time and he's coming along just fine.

    Personally, I'd rather have Mariota's first season numbers than Manning's. He threw 28 INT his rookie season.

    He’s having his 15th start Sunday.

    Let’s project he averages in the next two games what he has so far. Here are his totals for his first 16 games:

    93.8 passer rating
    3,800 passing yards
    63.1% completion percentage
    29 TDs (pass, run & rec)
    14 INTs
    322 yards rushing
    41 yards receiving

    Remember, much of last year, he was without his top receiver and the OL was in shambles. There was no running game either.

    Compare that to other NFL QBs and you have him ranking #18 in passing yards (right behind Rodgers and Newton). His passer rating lands him around #12 behind Rivers.

    I think it's fair to say he's already a mid-tier QB with tremendous upside. He's already exceeding his average in the first two games this season.

    He just needs to limit the big errors and the run game take some of the pressure off him.

    I think many are confused about this "hate" matter. What we hate is LOSING! If the QB is the problem, then he gets a lot of the blame. As they say, when we win they get too much credit, when we lose the same deal.

    I don't really see any Mariota haters on this board except for 1 or 2 who are obvious trolls.

    I see a few people who acknowledge his flaws and things he needs to improve on though getting called "haters"

    In this new world of Fantasy Football, those stats look great. But the only stat I care about is 3 wins.

    You can't be critical or even try to have a rational discussion while pointing out obvious issues without being shamed as a "hater" or "fake fan".

    Marcus is a golden god. You'd think he had more than 4 wins.

    Lol yall were spoiled by MM our first year and now you're overly nitpicking.

    Hes fine, he's going to be a franchise QB. Who knows if he'll be elite. Probably never in the PM/Brees/Brady category but I don't think the Wilson category is out of reach for him. Still too early.

    We're not doing him any favors with the WR corp we got.

    You're only as good as the teammates you have around you. And how hard they have decided to work for the day. Not only is he dealing with a receiving core who struggles to get separation and to get open. There were times last weekend where the offensive line was brutally bad. He did what he could do with what he had. And he was there when the team needed him.
