Love MM8, but....

FACT: You're not a part of the team's training staff (as far as I know).

FACT: Since you're not with the team, you have no objective way to judge why he's in the the locker room.

FACT: Asking questions is fine. Painting those questions as something negative about him personally is just throwing shade!!!

 

Yes, but he's also not throwing the ball nearly enough for that completion percentage to be put up against the top QBs. How many contested throws have we seen him make, shots to guys downfield in man coverage, etc.? LaFluer calls mainly high percentage passing plays, maybe a couple of PA throws downfield. Rarely is a receiver not wide open. He usually doesn't attempt a pass otherwise.

 

Push off king Hopkins helps a lot, but overall, there is no argument to be had here.

 

I have been critical of MM8 in the past, and still have some reservations about his durability, but, if he comes back next weekend and gets us into the playoffs I am good with extending his contract. Lets see what happens Sunday.

 

I can't believe how he was fiercely thrown to the ground like a rag doll. The NFL looks really bad in the minds of many people when they see someone get unnecessarily roughed up like that. They should care because their ratings have already plummeted and is mixed in with the maneuver by now. They clearly went after him with the full intent of knocking him out of the game. No doubt it was unnecessary roughness and it wasn't even called. Oh hallelujah, right? I can't believe that Titan fans didn't see that, talking about not showing any support or class toward their own QB, it was disgusting that nobody cared or valued Mariota enough to cry foul. What kind of nut is Vrabel to just scratch his nuts and say nothing about it? What the hxll is going on with this team? The monster that slapped Mariota to the ground should have been ejected and fined and a cold day in hell that he play football again. It was a cheap shot and I think from just that one example it tells us the quality of people that we have in the NFL. I mean Mariota got murdered in front of our eyes. What the....?

Also it's not the first or the last time that we see officials helping a team by dictating tempo and momentum. Big non-calls that help a team win. The NFL has become a real joke just from the officiating. Wait for the guy to catch a 70 yard TD pass and then throw the flag for offensive holding. I have to laugh. It's just a bunch of juvenile delinquents out there.

 

Ben Jones got Mary killed and Mary is running a high school offense

Both these guys killing us

 

Mariota only has ten more TD passes than Kevin Byard this season.

Just saying.

 

Fact: Mariota didn’t come back to the field after injury.

Fact: there are no treatments for a stinger or funny bone injury.

Facts.

 

Jones didn't make Mary hold onto the ball when he had a wide open receiver right in front of him.

We are 24th in QB hits allowed, yet 7th in sacks allowed. Mariota is inexplicably horrible at avoiding pressure.
