Mariota 2019 (all tings Mariota)

I'm sure the wrs are sick of being held accountable when they are having to chip DEs, run block, and get no opportunities to do their actual jobs despite getting open. The OL is sick of being held accountable when the QB is making their job more difficult by holding the ball and drifting into pressure, and being unable to threaten the defenses and presenting stacked boxes. The defense is sick of being held accountable because they are at the top of the league in almost every category despite being unable to get off of the field.

Mariota is killing this team. Everyone seems to be aware of this other than you . Watch some 21st century football and report back to us. May take you a while to catch up. You've obviously missed much over the years

 

So, is your answer the QB is the only one who should be held accountable for doing or not doing his job? ANY successful franchise holds EVERYONE accountable because it is the only way to keep everyone playing their best. While the QB is the most important position on the field, this is still a team game! That's just as true in the 1960's and it is in 2019!

You are making the biggest mistake in football and you don't even know it! And you think I need to learn something? LOL!!!

Here, I'll help you out. Wr's having to chip on DE's has nothing to do with the QB, but means we don't pass block well enough. They can thank the OL for that...not the QB. They are having to run block because we have one of the best rb's in the league and our HC wants him to be the focal point of the offense. They can thank them both...not the qb. The OL is held accountable for how they play, not sacks Mariota takes unnecessarily. You think the OL coach is blaming them for Mariota's 2 sacks? LOL! They aren't fans who make stuff up, they watch the tape. When they give up sacks because of them, it's on them!!! The defense is at the top of almost every stat except getting off the field on 3rd down? LOL!!! That's one of the most important defensive stats! I suppose when they miss tackles and give up big plays due to bad coverage or bad run fits, that's on the QB, right?

LOL! Get back to me when you learn how football works.

 

He played ok week one. Made a. Couple of good throws. But he didn't move the chains well at all. Fortunately, the browns helped him out a lot.

But frankly, in year 5, average should the abberation, the bad game. Not what you hope for. And games like week 2? Those should simply never happen.

Mariota is the problem. He just doesn't have it. This off season, preseason, and first two weeks has removed all doubt.

You seem to think the rest of the team has to be perfect before mariota is to blame. I find the opposite. A real qb elevates the play of those around them. Mariota doesn't.

If I were the coach, we'd be seeing tannehil this week. If we're gonna lose, I wanna lose trying something different. Watching Marcus panic, clutch the ball too long, get sacked, and throw the ball with poor placement doesn't interest me.

 

You are trying too hard. The QB will get the majority of the blame and the majority of the praise. Mariota rarely does enough to get praise. It doesn’t matter what other players do. The QB1 is the focus. And, he’s been sub-par the last two years.

 

Marcus Mariota's mistakes can't keep adding to Titans' losses

Gut- I think you do a good job of breaking down a lot of issues. You use root cause analysis which is excellent.

But you've got a blind spot or bias occurring right now. Mariota is in year 5- not year one or two even. His decision making has been stuck at a 1st year QB for 4 years now. That's long enough for most people to recognize it isn't going to develop further into a franchise level starting QB. So I'm just going to have to agree to disagree with you on Mariota. I've been behind him believing we don't need an elite QB to go far, just a serviceable one. And up until last week I thought Mariota could be that. But for the reason mentioned above, I'm ready to cash out on him (if possible) and search for better.

 

I don't get the allure/obsession with winning the division

if we win division or wildcard, is it going to make much difference? how deep do you think we get with him? it took a TD throw to himself to win a playoff game, which promptly led to a throttling in the next game.. so whooptydo

he's not the long term solution, and winning the division once means little to nothing if you can't do anything with it

 

Great , let’s root for them to lose lol. Life itself isn’t guaranteed

 

Titans' Mike Vrabel Was 'Not Very' Close to Benching Marcus Mariota vs. Jaguars

 

I wouldn’t think so. Jail break every play won’t matter who’s at QB and we know THill would die just the same.

Let MM get hurt so the decision to move on is easy.
