    I think this just reached an argument of which QB is worse due to Which team had the worse OL. Strange argument but I think Miami had the worse OL and Mariota accepts more sacks despite the OL struggles than T-Hill but not to dismiss the titans OL as needing upgrades.

    (By the way, happy with the upgrades)

    That same problem also saves RT from having 4th season with 42+ sacks

    He had 35 his last season and missed 5 games due to injury

    I mentioned one statistic, smart guy. His superior passing rating from a clean pocket. Which means that we may actually get some consistency instead of Mariota's scattershot sideline accuracy

    Huh?

    Quinton Spain
    6'4/332lbs
    5.03 40yd/29"vert/103"broad/28repBench

    Saffold
    6'4/316lbs
    5.21 40yd/29.5"vert/113"broad/27repsBench/4.67SS/7.42 3cone

    Josh Kline
    6'2/307lbs
    5.12 40yd/27"vert/101"broad/25repsBench/4.59SS/7.66 3cone

    Nate Davis
    6'3/316lbs
    5.23 40yd/26"vert/107"broad/23repsBench/4.83SS/7.94 3 cone

    So let's compare Spain to Saffold...
    So let's see if the FACTS bear out your claim. Spain is MUCH faster in the 40, vert is about same, loses badly in broad jump. If anything, I'd say Spain might be the better athlete but let's be conservative and say it's a wash.

    Now let's compare Kline to Davis?
    Kline is faster, has a little better vert, lesser broad, is stronger and has MUCH better short shuttle and 3 cone numbers. Clearly, Kline is the better athlete!

    Clearly, the Titans wanted better PLAYERS...not better athletes!!!

    One time? Does he do that all the time? No. Most of the time in that situation he gets sacked like everyone else. But the defender also just pushed him instead of grabbing him.

    And there are a lot more people than this guy thinks that can make that throw on planet earth. At least half the qb's in the NFL can and a lot more outside the NFL who have the arm strength but not anything else.

    Check out some youtube vids of guys throwing farther than that from their knees. One clip of Mahomes supposedly throwing it 100yds but you can't see where it lands so its probably more likely in the 70's or so.

    Sometimes it has been. But some of those sacks are also Tannehill being shellshocked and just falling on the ground. When did he stand there and deliver a strike while taking a shot? Some of those sacks weren't even blitzes but a 4 man rush and he couldn't evade a single defender who worked free....same criticism you have for Mariota.
