    I have this conversation with my Jaguar friends all the time. "Blake won a lot of big games last year. We can win with him."

    You know what they call a below-average QB who wins games? A winner. That only lasts as long as the team keeps winning.

    You know what they call a good QB who wins games? A good quarterback.

    And 28 TDs in a season in 2018 isn't Madden numbers. It's good QB play. If you're not around 23+ you're middle of the road.

    Why don’t we stack Mariotas numbers against current qbs...

    Oh right we do and he’s usually near the bottom cept for his few big games a year

    Hopefully he’s finally turned the corner but to act like he’s been some stud these four years is silly

    I get what you're saying. Honestly, I'll take the winning and just don't want to go back to trying to draft and fail at QB again. Can't take Locker, Smith, Volek, Young, Mett years anymore.

    We can't say that Mariota hasn't won games for us, he has.

    And we've also won games with him throwing for 100 yards.

    But I didn't say anything about whether he did or didn't. That's not the point. Vince Young won us plenty of games. Was he good? No.

    Good quarterbacks play well consistently. That's why they're good. Does Mariota play well consistently? Not up to this point. Hell, in the Farewell Tour thread someone pointed out he had three solid games in a row now. If that's something that needs to be pointed out as a surprise, then maybe he was trending in the wrong direction for a little while there?

    We've reached a point where he is going to have good numbers this year.

    We have a chance to win the division.

    We beat the Super Bowl champs and both teams that played in the AFC Championship.

    He has stayed healthy for the most part.


    I've been a huge critic of him but I can't say this season hasn't been different. Have to be honest.

    MM8 still very young for a QB

    my second favorite Titan QB... to McMVP

    I suspect MM8 will ultimately become a better 'QB' than McMVP... but he will not ever be a better football player

    to bad McMVP did not train ... and about a bunch of other crap... but on the field McMVP was dominate

    Why do you think Marcus will be a better qb but not a better football player? Are you talking about being a competitor?

    yes...

    McMVP threw defensive linemen off him like a WWE superstar... and as clutch as MM8 can be McMVP took naps before games and totally the man when it counted

    I mean the guy made fisherball into Super Bowl ball

    As the Titans have proven time and time again there is no guarantee when going down the QB path in the draft. Let’s say they trade Marcus off in the off season and then take Will Grier in the first round of next years draft. It may take him 3-4 years of him licking his wounds before he becomes anything special. Marcus maybe just one offseason away from becoming that special player.

    Since you’ve already been down ‘that’ road with Marcus...why not just stick with him?

    I see your point and will not pigeon bomb you
