With pick #2 of the 2015 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans select: Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon

"***tonne of other wrong things"

 

Wrong.

Mariota played well in 2016 and I was completely on board outside of his fumbling issues.

Then he fixed his fumbling issues but forgot how to throw.

So... if he plays well, I'll be all in.

 

I'm not denying he looked like dog doo for the majority of the 17 season but when he started to say F Robiskie and Mularkey and called the plays he looked like the 2016 QB we expected. But as a whole the entire offense from the O Line - RBs - WRs were all bad. I'm just happy those clown arse coaches from last season are gone. I can't wait to see the new offense.

 

I was excited going into the 17 season. Really expected, based on what we saw in 16, for the offense to make a leap forward.

When I saw that scheme unfold, it just enraged me. Complete malpractice.

But Jrob did the smart thing and flushed those coaches. I am excited to see what we can do this year. Davis started to show flashes toward the end. I believe smith and Taylor can be useful pieces in a dynamic offense. Henry and Lewis will be a killer 1-2 punch at RB.

I fully expect to see a dramatic increase in offensive production this year. Have to be patient though. It won’t get ironed out overnight. I could easily see some early season hiccups. Really sucks that conk will likely miss time too.

We wasted an entire season of growth and development. Hopefully we can get it back on track though.

 

Mariota talks new head coach, new offense, new contract ahead of fourth NFL season

 

Looking back i'll be the first to admit i was wrong. I wanted to keep Mett at the time and draft Leonard Williams. That would've been a terrible mistake and thank goodness it didn't happen. GM Webster picked Mariota and the rest is history......



Mariota Accomplishments In First Three Seasons 2015-2017


Mariota led the NFL with four 4th quarter comebacks and five game winning drives the most of any NFL QB in 2017.

Mariota's very first game gained a perfect passer rating of 158.3, making him the first quarterback in NFL history to attain a perfect passer rating in his first regular season game. Mariota became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw four touchdown passes in the first half of his NFL debut. He is also the youngest quarterback to reach the perfect passer rating in his first game as well.

 

Mariotas been good and seems like the real deal for NFL QBs, but I also wanted Williams and still think that pick would have been solid.

This list of accomplishments though is just very anecdotal. Very specific, “not really” records.
This is a big year for him though. If he repeats last year, a lot of people will turn their doubt meter up (more than those that already have).

I like what’s he’s done though. I think he breaks 3500, 25 total TD and runs for another 400 or so. Hope my numbers are low.

 

The biggest thing is, with the coaches we had last year, he had no chance of coming close to those numbers.

 

Mike Mularkey - unemployed
Terry Robiskie - back to WR coach
Dick Leau- retired

Tells you all we need to know

 

Mularkey will bounce back, probably just needs time to miss the game and he'll land on his feet.

Robiskie back to being a position coach is most telling. And leBuea is 900 years old, he should have been retired ages ago.
