    You the type of dude to go to your kid's classroom blaming the teacher because "he made a B last year in your class! His grade MUST be your fault now!"

    Nah bro.

    You can't praise Mariota for 2016 yet blame the same system for his struggles in 2017.

    That's a terrible analogy

    And yes I can blame the same system. 2017 we called less of the good stuff in an effort to get ahead of defenses, that's stupid to do. Call different stuff to keep them guessing but dont dump the things he did best...

    He's referring to the pick against the Stoolers where he stopped his route and just stood there, when he was supposed to come back for the ball. Had he worked his way back towards MM8 it would have been incomplete instead of a pick. Not sure if there were other instances of this poor route running, I can only think of this one.

    What was the upside to that play? The CB was right where Mariota was looking to throw the ball, Davis would have been nailed as soon as he caught it, and it would have been for a minimal gain, if not a disastrous outcome. But it's apparently how it should have been executed, since Mularkey threw Davis under the bus. I guess that someone should tell Sean Payton that he needs to add more 3 yard comeback routes to his playbook.

    I just equate most of your posts as farts. I just stand back until the fumes die back.

    J Brown had a good season for a 5th. He gets lost on run plays and washed out by G's way to easily. He also was about league avg on passing downs.

    Again, rookie 5th rounder, did well, but there's a lot of room for improvement.

    Potential is there.

    Wasn't it Jayon Brown who took Myles Jack's place at UCLA when he was injured? Did pretty well there, so there is an upside to him.

    I actually think that it was Aaron Wallace.

    Wallace been getting a lot of reps they said in OTAs, that would be great if he replaced Dodd so we can just forget about that failed experience
