Titans bench Mariota in favor of Tannehill

BREAKING: Titans Bench Marcus Mariota, Will Start Ryan Tannehill

 

[Anointed One]

It's about time... He's been holding this team back for the past few years...

I find it fairly impossible if not ridiculous to believe that Marcus Mariota is still starting in this league. Even this site and Google give me a spelling error when I type the name.

He looked promising his first year but never got any better, likely regressed. Too bad that Dolphins and Redskins exist though so there's no shot at top draft pick for a new QB

So long as there's teams drafting guys like Baker #1, there will be talent later in the draft.

The top two in that draft class are likely headed for back up roles...not bad money...don't get hit much, normally can last 5 or 6 yrs backing up easily...making $2 to 3 mil per.

I saw where Mike Golic Jr had the perfect take on Jameis Winston; he's the new Ryan Fitzpatrick. He'll be a decade long backup that will get into the game and have a small stretch of games where you're like "Wow. We could make this work. This could be the place it works out". Then he'll go back to throwing a bunch of INTs and you're like "oh yeah, he's that"

Could see this coming from a mile away when it was announced Tannehill was signing with Tennessee. No way was Mariota starting the whole season.

Yeah...as inconsistent as Mariota has been not too hard to see that coming. Tannehill is not the guy, but he did bring starting credentials.

TN is in a tough spot...the roster is good enough to be 9-7, or better, but not good enough to win a playoff game, and not bad enough to land another thought to be franchise QB in the draft.

this probably signals the end of Mariota as a starting Qb in this league ...... he had many chances.

The headline may as well say, "Titans decide to go for broke, and punt season for hope of better draft position". Starting Tannehill isn't any kind of formula for winning.

Mariota looked like a bust from the get go. Not sure why anybody took him as high as they did.

Sorry, bro. Bengals getting that #1 QB

 

[wazzu31]

It’s not too late for him to be much better Kordell Stewart.

He was overhyped in college too. Choked in big games, doesn't surprise me. You can never really truly tell though but this kid had something about him, plus not much of a leader...looks like he is done finally

Herbert is the same way, another epic QB bust to come from Oregon.

 

[kburjr]

You take 25 sacks in 6 games and the bench is the only safe place for you.

Six in one hand....

Not what I meant. I thought he would be a bust before he was drafted. Thought the same thing about Vince Young who also looked good his first year.

Not that I'm an expert, I also thought RG3 was the real deal. But injuries had a lot more to do with his situation.
