    Well, it's all based on statements from Titans sources, Ken Whisenhunt and Mike Keith, so I wouldn't read too much into it. The preseason games will be the first time we get a true unbiased indication of how far along he is.

    Even then it isn't going to answer many questions.

    Week 4ish, week 8ish, and then the end of the season to compare it all.

    The only thing I am taking away from training camp, is he puts in time.

    Nothing I'm hearing is surprising. If you watch Mariota closely in college you saw everything you needed to. Playing under center is hardly a challenge for an athlete like Mariota.

    It's all hype until about Week 17 2020 when you know what you've got.

    The kid has the smarts and work ethic... I'm not suprised he's quick to pick things up. It was evident in college that he made good decisions with the ball.

    The whole "omg he ran this offense in college" thing is overblown in my opinion. He had to learn that offense in college and now he has to learn a new one. All indications are that he's learning and doing well.

    On to the REAL test. Live action.

    I agree with @Gunny and @Scarecrow Right now it's all hype until later down this season, maybe even 3 years.

    But we will find out very early if he has the what it takes to live up to the hype.

    Anyone who doesn't know in three years, doesn't want to know.

    I usually give it 3 or 4 years because you have the rookies who can't take it to the next level (like RG3, VY), sophomore slumps who can't recover, potential injuries that could stunt progression, ability for the team to draft around him, etc.
