    Maybe cuz we haven’t had a great passer ever...

    “We have a good qb let’s hardly pass it” said no one ever after 2010

    Hard to know. The casual football fan will think...we have a bad QB so don't throw and run run run!

    But more knowledgeable fans will think...is this just a philosophical thing...for Mularkey it was to protect Mariota after Whisenhunt got him killed...or the Rams offense which is built on a strong running game...or is it a Vrabel philosophy? Are they trying to copy the Seahawks formula of run run run and take some shots with Wilson...keeping the game close and hoping your mobile QB can win it in the end?

    We do know that Mariota has looked better when able to do more passing in stretches when he's not hurt and well protected. But hard to know what the reason is we've run more and kept him out of rhythm.

    Everyone can guess their own reason...but no one on this board knows the answer. Vrabel does, but he's not talking.

    I agree with the rhythm thrower part and we should pass more. I don't want to be a run first team. I'm really hoping that the new OC feels the same way, and has been annoyed by the offense being held back during his entire tenure. Honestly, I'm not expecting much, but he has stuck around through so many different coaching groups that he must be good at what he does. He should know Mariota well enough to put together a strategy to get the most out of him.

    As for Tannehill being Brees 2.0, LOL. He's okay and could maybe be a starter on a team with good pieces. But he's nothing special. I'd love to be wrong on this, but I'm doubting it.

    2003 was nothing spectacular unless you meant 2004/2005. Really, McNair through a lot. Outside him, Hasselbeck, Fitz, And Volek were really the only guys to throw a lot.
    2015 was more due to lack of RB. I mean, Andrews and sankey, why ever hand off?

    Hate to be “that guy” but:

    As with other homophones, the words threw, through, and thru may sound alike but have different meanings and uses. Threw and through have very distinct meanings while thru is generally used only in informal writing.

    The term threw is the simple past tense of the verb throw meaning “to propel something with force through the air by a movement of the arm and hand.”

    “Young woman, 26, ‘threw boiling water over her boyfriend’s pal during a Valentine’s Day bust-up’”
    The Sun

    “Prosecutors won’t charge police officer who threw black high school student out of her chair onto the ground for refusing to give up her cellphone”
    Daily Mail

    “‘Grinning sex attacker’ threw table at woman, grabbed her throat and pinned her down to sexually assault her”
    Mirror.co.uk

    It may also mean “to cause to enter suddenly a particular state or condition.”


    “Corruption threw country into abyss of terrorism: Siraj”
    The News International

    “Trevor Noah: How Trump threw Republicans in Congress ‘under the bus'”
    Business Insider

    “Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth Reportedly Threw a Secret New Year’s Eve Wedding”
    Brides.com

    On the other hand, through is mostly used as a preposition or adverb to denote “moving in one side and out of the other side of an opening, channel, or location.”

    “A Gathering of the Global Elite, Through a Woman’s Eyes”
    New York Times

    “The Photos We Loved: President Obama Through Pete Souza’s Lens”
    TIME

    “Thousands fill Loop after Women’s March rally in Chicago draws estimated 250,000”
    Chicago Tribune

    It may also mean “continuing in time toward completion of a process or period.”

    “Pod save America: 12 podcasts to get you through the Trump presidency”
    The Guardian

    “Growing Up Obama: Malia and Sasha Through the Years”
    TIME

    “Study suggests surprising reason killer whales go through menopause”
    Science Magazine

    Meanwhile, the term thru is simply an informal spelling of the word through and is usually not recommended to be used in formal writing as it is considered less serious than its original counterpart.

    “Website Thru The Nite: The Countdown Has Begun”
    Muncie Journal

    “Cold Rain Thru Wednesday. Little Icing North And West”
    WPRI 12 Eyewitness News

    “Heavy Wet Snow and Ice Expected Monday Night Thru Tuesday”
    The Vermont Standard

    Another term that may add up to the confusion would be the adjective thorough which means “complete with regard to every detail” or “performed or written with great care and completeness.” This is attributed to its almost identical spelling with through.

    “Senate should take its time, be thorough in vetting Trump nominees”
    The Seattle Times

    “Acting president calls for thorough readiness against potential N. Korea provocations”
    Korea Times

    “Senator Chuck Schumer Calls for a ‘Thorough’ Vetting of Trump’s Nominees”
    Newsweek

    Hopefully, you will never go throughthe confusion with using these words that threw you off of your writing game. Just remember to establish what message you want to convey in your sentence to help you choose the right term.

    Maybe he just forgot the 'went'.

    "Really, McNair went through a lot."

    Let's be honest, he did.
