    Interesting facts & information on QB, system, & WR issues...... I think coaching is one of the main flaws the team had last year. Mularkey was a good guy. He changed the culture of the team & we needed that badly. However, his system never fit Marcus or the WRs on the team. I don't know much about Vrabel as HC.... I think it's gonna take a while to figure him out. I do feel good about the hires he made at OC & DC though.... They may be more important to the overall performance of the team than Vrabel himself.

    I like Marcus & think he is the best QB we have had in years. We would be absolutely stupid to let him walk.... If we do; there will be teams lining up everywhere to pay this guy. He had a down year for sure. However the system/situation he was in was horrific...... I think our new OC will take more advantage of the players... Not so dead set on forcing the players to fit the old school system we tried to bring back from the dead......

    Looking into some of the franchise stats, Mariota should end up one of the top guys.

    In career passing yards, he’s already #5. (Moon, McNair, Blanda, pastorini)
    #6 is f’n VY.

    Single season bests, warren moon top 6 except Matt f’n Hasselbeck.
    Mariota has #7, McNair #8/9 then moon again.

    No wonder this team never has 1K WR. As a franchise, we never have a QB.

    I love how people read everything into solo stats in a team game.

    If your going to judge a player on solo stats you can’t ignore everything else on the team when judging them.

    With the QB. What were their offensive lines like, how were their rb’s like. Could their WR’s catch.

    We currently have a great qb. If we get the other pieces right, he will be better, if we don’t he will be worse.

    Stats make great conversation pieces, but never give you the full story.

    Just take a hard look at his play/heart in that KC game...Enough said! All while dealing with Mike Mukarkey, Robiskie, and crap receiving....

    lol you told me the exact same thing about Jake Locker and I told you that you were wrong.

    And if Mariota doesn't get better- you've learned nothing and will be wrong again.

    No doubt, you could see in his eyes he had had enough. That fire and determination is going to be exciting when funneled through a quality offensive plan.

    I know regardless of how well he does you will always be over critical of his performance because you were never happy we drafted him. He could take us to the SB and I doubt you would be happy. Yeah, we're going in circles about him, those who support vs those who want a new QB. Lets just discuss when the real season starts and contract conversation gets real. I doubt we let him walk...

    Locker retired.

    And you said we'd regret not drafting Jerry Hughes and a **** tonne of other wrong things so don't act all high and mighty when your MO is predicting players will be bad which is the safest prediction anyone can make.
