    We need to know about everyone's glory days so we can properly evaluate whether Mariota should shed 10 pounds or not. It's extremely important.

    Not once has anyone spoken about their glory days. But people with firsthand(matters none I guess) knowledge have chimed in from their experiences on why this could be beneficial/detrimental.

    Maybe my CTE is kicking in again...

    It's about time Mariota did something for himself.

    I'm all for him being quicker on the field especially in the pocket. I'm expecting alot of big plays this year

    Because it's one of the toughest sports out there. Doesn't change the fact that there's about 11 minutes of playing time a game. But everyone is hitting each other and it's violent for that time period.

    As for the weight, meh. If it's what Mariota is comfortable then let him do it. If he gets hurt, deal with it then. From the sound of the article, he's played heavier than preferred so far in his NFL career.

    If playing 10lbs lighter gives him more confidence that will probably mean more to his actual game than anything. The kid has proven he can play at a high level. Let him try it his way this year. The previous years he has done what is asked of him by the HC & it has not made any difference. If he plays at a reduced weight, and feels more confident in his ability to escape; that should show up. At his position, the mental hurdles are going to be just as hard as the physical hurdles.
