Titans trade for Tannehill

Can I just point out that the fact that you guys are arguing over whether Mariota is better than a backup QB, to any rational person, should prove that he is not and will never be a franchise QB. Franchise QBs are compared to the top QBs of the era, not their own backups.

 

Wake me when we have Mahomes.

 

Congrats for finding the one form of stat that suits you.

Cling to that.

It'll definitely pan out.

 

This is a GREAT pickup.

I have always liked Tannehill and thought he could have been one of the better QBs in league if not for injuries. While I think Mariota has more talent, Tannehill performs better regularly, more consistently.

My biggest frustration with Mariota is not necessarily that he is injury prone, but that he doesn't seem to be able to play through injuries like most QBs do. Any little boo boo and he is out. Also, he is infuriatingly inconsistent. He will show flashes, have a great game and then crap the bed for 2 games.

If I am JRob/Vrabel, I start Tannehill. I feel he gives the Titans the best chance to CONSISTENTLY play well and if he gets hurt, Mariota is a fantastic backup, who is good for only a few good games a year, so maybe its the perfect situation.

Tannehill with the weapons we have (Davis, Walker, Lewis and Humph) will throw for 4000 yards/20+ TDs easily.

 

Two things:

1. Welcome to the forums.
2. It's 2019. We stopped using the r-word 10 years ago.


If anyone gives you any problems, notify a moderator. Have fun!

 

Man.

I love the negative reactions my posts get here. I hope nothing changes with the forum so we can up this later.


If you're still THAT committed to Marcus effing Mariota, you've got some personal crush issues. Dude is trash.

I tell y'all this time and time again... you're being too loyal to a trash player. Takes y'all years, literally, to finally understand it.

 

I wouldn't crown Tanny the starter by any means, but I'd damn well like to see a fairly open camp competition and preseason. I'll be interested to see what each does with their chances .

 

Those LINKS tho?

 

Now we got tanniehill do we still draft a qb this year in like round 2-3? Do I want us to extend tannihill and be the starter after this year if Marcus flops. Not really.

 

Also is Mariotas recovery gonna be still happening in week 1 since we signed a higher class of "back-up qb" than we're used to.
