Marcus Mariota Three Year Career So Far.....

Mariota does not have the ability to stay healthy because he is simply not durable. Without his scrambling ability, he is a marginal QB. As we noticed in the playoff game aginst NE, once Mariota hurt is quad he was virtually ineffective.

At 100% Mariota is a solid QB. The problem is he is usually never 100%. He is just not built for the NFL.

Bottom 10 QB is kind of a meaningless distinction in 2017-2018.

As long as you didn't have the Browns or Broncos QB situation then you could compete just due to the relatively weak nature of the QB spot this year.

There definitely seems something fishy about Tenneesse's coaching. Matt Cassel has been pretty awful even by his standards when he has gotten the opportunity.

Well, they have to decide this offseason IIRC being that it's after the 3rd year. That's the way these 5th year options work if my memory holds. Also eligible for an extension now if they wanted to do that for some reason.

Yeah, you're right about the option. The Bears declined the 5th year option on Kyle Fuller this past off-season, going into his 4th year. Wound up biting us in the ass, because he had a breakout year and now we're going have to tag him or pay up in a big way.

Pretty doubtful they give Mariota an extension. Probably pickup the 5th year option, and give him two seasons to try and get something going with the new HC.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

He just needs a QB guru for a coach

 

[Born to run]

With the right coach and scheme, Mariota will be a top 5 QB

 

[The Q]

I wouldn't be opposed to Tenn moving on, but it would basically have to be in a deal to land them Darnold. Otherwise it's just not worth it.

But just not sure what he is yet, and really don't have to have to pay him the stupid money it takes to keep a QB these days

 

[The Q]

There needs to be a rating for funny but too close to home.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

I figured it would go one of two ways. I'm glad someone saw the humor in that.

You hit the nail on the head. The coaching is terrible at least the offensive portion, As far as defense and special teams those were alright this year.

You could tell from the first game this year that the offensive scheme was shit.

Oh, yeah, pretty doubtful unless they are irrationally confident in Mariota. I was kind of giggling when the Raiders gave Carr an extension knowing the shitstorm that was coming.

 

[MIKE75]

A lot of these are fluff stats. Like catching his own pass, or leading a 95 yard garbage time TD drive.

Even the passer rating and rookie TD thing. As passing stats have become so bloated/inflated over just this past decade.

The red zone numbers are impressive.

Mariota is not yet a bust. However, he was downright poor this year and showed signs of regression. Doing so against the 30th SOS in football.

Mariota struggles with his reads/progressions, which is a symptom that effects many single-read spread college QB's.

He tends to look really good against sub-standard D's, and consistently get shutdown in a big way against the better ones.

Next year is the final one of his rookie contract, and it's make or break.

He has definitely regressed this year but a lot of it was the outdated 1980's scheme which was pure shit and completely predictable. There were several times this year where for whatever reason they changed things up and Mariota would play great but then the staff would revert right back to the shitty scheme.

His first two seasons he had 9 games with 100 passer rating/multiple TD’s only Dan Marino,Russell Wilson and Kurt Warner had more in their first 2 seasons at QB. Thats pretty good company.

As of Thanksgiving Day 2016, Mariota is the first QB in modern NFL history with six four-TD performances in his first 22 career games. No other QB had more to start a career.

Sure Mariota didn't do too well this season BUT his first two seasons he did very well thats simply the facts.

That 95 yard TD drive at New England was in the first quarter and the first points scored in that game.

Mariota had four 4th quarter comebacks and five game winning drives the most of any NFL QB in 2017 so he can play and has what it takes. This does not include the second half comeback at K.C. where he led them back from 18 points the largest deficit ever for a road QB in the postseason.

Also the team has improved each season Mariota has been at Tennessee. First year was 3 wins.,Second year improved by 6 games with 9 wins.,Third year 9 wins and made the playoffs.

Agreed.

His first two seasons Mariota played very well. Last year due to shit scheme he regressed.

The coming year his fourth will tell us a lot.

He was okay his first two seasons. I would certainly not come close to saying he was great. He had one nice run during the 2016 season.

I do not buy into him. I'm sorry, I just have seen nothing which tells me I should.

The rookie TD's and 4 TD games thing means very little. IMO. It's nice, but like I said... this decade, old passing records are just falling apart year after year. The numbers these QB's post nowadays are so inflated compared to what was being put up in the days of a young Marino or Warner. 4 TD's were so rare back then. Only a few per year. Now? There's a few per week.

I agree that he needs to step up and prove something in 2018.

 

[mrwallace2ku]

I've seen several who think that Mariota isn't any good or some go as far as to say he is a bust. Overall he has done a good job in Tennessee and there is no denying that the recently fired head coach put Mariota in an ill fitting scheme that didn't take advantage of his strengths whatsoever.

probably why @HammerDown sold the place...

[MIKE75]

The records Mariota has set or broken in only three seasons of being QB 2015 through 2017

Have to be a good QB to do all the things below in just three years no doubt.

With better coaching in 2018 more records will be set or broken..........
