Mariota Hasn't Thrown A Pick In Camp So Far

@JeffDarlington

I haven't watched Titans in person, but I just texted with Titans vet to see how Mariota is coming along. In three words? "Looks damn good."

Meanwhile, Winston threw 3 in his first 5 attempts.

Then he's learning more.

Why does this matter???

Because the media needs their johnny football, tebow, mariota stories to carry them until real football starts. He's nothing more than this years cinderella story. How have the last few of those worked out on the field?

Sooner or later he'll throw one.

Why Aaron Rodgers throws a ton of interceptions in practice, and doesn't care - Yahoo Finance

VY had his moments but didn't put in the work. Locker flat out sucked.

Mariota will be better than both.

I seriously don't get the Mariota hate some have. He is a nice kid, he put up numbers, he led his team to the title game. Why the hate?

If you blame him for losing the title game you are a moron. Did you see his receivers drop balls? Did you see what Bosa was doing to his line?

But I guess you'd rather have AJ McCarron since he won a title?

Nice kid who really doesn't look to be an NFL QB. Maybe his makes it, so far Russell has.

SUPER BOWL????

SUPER BOWL????

LOL,who said that???? I like Mariota think he can play but i don't think anyone is talking about titles yet.

 

[Southieinnc]

Mariota hasn't thrown a pick yet but Tampa Bay threw a pick - a draft pick!

 

[Tgann69]

He's saving all the picks for the regular season.

He went without an interception for the fourth straight practice, and he’s now the only quarterback in camp who hasn’t thrown an interception. Unofficially, Mariota is 49-for-73 (67 percent) in the combined drills after four days. While drills obviously aren’t the same as game conditions, he’s still off to a pretty good start. Also ESPN reporter Kuharsky never praises the Titans so it's quite something to see him say Mariota has done well.

Some will marvel when a QB isn't throwing picks in camp — Mariota — I hear alarms going off.

.@PriscoCBS Promise you it's not because he's dinking and dunking or being overly careful. I'm not one for fast praise. He's been golden.

this is the same as winning all your preseason games =it means nothing

Honestly, for a rookie QB who is learning EVERYTHING about his new offense, this is a pretty impressive feat. It's not like the Defense isn't trying and I'm sure if he was not taking his chances when they were there the coaches would be tearing into him. I'm not saying this will continue, heck looking at the Titan's schedule I don't see more than 5 wins MAX, but I do think he's a lot better than many of the doubters were predicted and they are terrified of being wrong.

Correct i didn't see more than 5 wins max on the Titans schedule either. But after seeing how Mariota is ahead on everything and doing as well as he is i think it is safe to say there might be more wins than that.

Lol your right it don't mean shit as far as wins or losses but they are trying to show the guy is better than your average everyday rookie QB.

I'm pulling for the kid, but, honestly, there is only so much one player can do. He doesn't play on defense and from what I gather they aren't very good. If Marcus can't get on the field he can't score points, plain and simple. If he can stay healthy all season and the team wins 5 games I think that could be considered a big step forward for the organization.

There's the very real danger that even if Mariota was NFL worthy getting his shot on a team with lots of suspect pieces around him and something less than an established staff/system that his career could still end up in the drink over faults not his own.
