    Yeah. I am not a fan of this Mariota style QB. Much more like your typical old school passer.

    Just bugs me when I see guys not properly planting their feet and throwing with body weight. Its just one thing that I think if he gets down he can be similar to ARod.

    That's only because his guys are completely wide open down the field. Hell I could complete passes to guys who have 10 yards on the closest defenders.

    Mariota does have some decent pocket awareness. His issue is sometimes he refuses to improv in the situation and instead slides into pressure because the play was designed to slide that way.

    He'll get better

    sigh

    He throws to plenty of guys covered when he lets the ball go, he just knows when guys will get open, still find it funny people use this against the guy, he's smart, he makes the right throws

    Again since you dodged the question last time...mariota is legit right..you ain't gonna say "I just got on with whiz" like you saying you just got on board with munch with locker right. Mariotas got it right?

    When the stats don't back up some people's arguments they will start grasping at straws, anything so their point can be valid. Even with little to no evidence of their claims, they will still refute the stats (ie facts) and claim their opinion as fact (ie not fact)

    What's funny though is that we did the exact same thing (although opposite) for Locker ... Even though all the stats pointed against Locker coming out of college, we found reasons to refute those stats ... With Mariota, all the stats point to him being very good, but some will refute those too lol.

    I think we're all going to be pleasantly surprised with what Mariota is able to pull off..

    I hope to even see some A-11 offense this year

    My thing is- it's not that I don't think he could be an ok QB and get his throwing issues worked out.

    But this team is going to throw him into the fire 2 seasons early, and he'll likely never recover from the initial shock of it. Happens all the time.

    He's not going to be ready this season. How he responds to failing is what will make or break him.
