    If that INT didn't so closely resemble that of a million others he's thrown, or if he didn't miss out on 2 red zone TDs, then I would have more fond memories of Mariota' s first half. But that wasn't my point

    The offense has more options with Mariota at QB. Overall he can make more throws more consistently. But we never know when his inconsistency will rear its ugly head, like when he missed easy TDs. We know Gabbert, which throws he can make consistently and which we should only attempt out of desperation, and I think that we can trust him to execute a game plan designed for him. With Mariota, you don't know what to expect, or if he can execute consistently enough to trust him.

    so you'd rather piddle around with a gimmick offense instead of taking our lumps with our real qb? seems silly. all QBs make mistakes and we need him to start getting comfortable in the new offense. also mariota is notoriously good against the jags in his career.

    Zero turnovers is all I care about.

    The offense was a gimmick because of the tackle situation moreso than Gabbert. The production was relatively consistent with Mariota during the previous week. I never suggested that we start Gabbert ahead of him, just that I trust the coaching staff to develop a good plan that Gabbert could have executed and led us to a victory over Miami.

    If you need to explain this to anyone, they are not worth your time.

    under unfortunate circumstances i agree with you. Gabbert is a safer option than 2017 Mariota, but i guess we are all hoping for 2015 & 2016 Mariota back. If he never comes back than Gabbert is just our bridge QB. I don’t expect another game like the one vs the Texans because other teams are going to prepare, stack the box, and actually force Gabbert to throw the ball down the field. Which is something he is terrible at.

    Problem with Mariota is that he's trying too hard not to turn it over. I'd rather he went out there and be a gunslinger. Ya he will throw ints but he'll also create huge plays and scores, like Farve, as an example. What this team needs is a damn defense for when turnovers happen the don't allow points on the board
