    It was dead on.

    I remember a lot of the draft gurus saying Mariota would need 2-3 seasons to adjust.

    Yeah and that probably did not account for a new OC every season.

    You have to remember Mariota was praised his first 2 seasons for adjusting to the NFL so quickly because everyone thought he would struggle but he did pretty decent for a year 1-2 QB...it was year 3 when he was supposed to make a big jump when everything went downhill and it continued in year 4.

    Everyone acts like Mariota has been year 3-4 Mariota the whole time...but he did show a lot of promise years 1 and 2. Decent rookie season, pretty good jump year 2...then it all hit the fan in year 3-4...and here we are...

    Is 2016 Mariota still in there or is he really what we saw in 2017-18?

    Except that his first two years were his best years.

    That Mariota is gone. Defenses know him too well now. What we need is an improved Mariota, who can react properly to a blitz or pressure in general, doesn't require over 3 yards of separation from his receivers to even attempt a pass to them, and can extend plays and keep his eyes downfield, instead of escaping from invisible pressure and getting himself sacked. The book is out on how to stop him. He's got to overcome his weaknesses at some point.

    You are spot on and that is one of the biggest questions. It is possible to chalk 17 up to a very predictable offense and 18 up to injuries. The other big question is durability. It might still be MM is the right guy...good news is we have one more year to find out.

    His rate stats are actually on par or better than his year 1 and 2. 2017 is the outlier so far.

    The reason his counting stats were down is because his attempts were down, which of course was due to injury, and then Henry embarrassing the Jags/Giants and negating the need to pass.
