I get the point of this article and it's a nice story, but it really doesn't do anything to move the needle for me on Marcus' development. It's not like we've exactly ever had any prolific passers in our history to compare him to anyways.
To have a real discussion about where he's going, you have to compare him to his current peers that are playing in the same environment he plays in. When you do that, it's not a favorable look on Marcus.
This is an aside, but I get really annoyed when people want to act like Marcus shouldn't be compared to players like Rodgers, Brady, Brees, Manning, etc, etc because they are considered to be future HOFers. I'm sorry, but when did Marcus start playing in a different league that those guys aren't in? When did we become complacent to the point where we as a fan base shouldn't want and expect our team to look for a HOF caliber QB?
People love to say he's the GOAT. Well he needs to start playing like it every single play.

Then why doesn't he seem to know it?

He's toomuch of a wildcard for me to bet on. A scenario where he gets hurt and Tannehill retains the job is as likely as the one that you mentioned.

Injuries are his #1 concern. Every comment I have about Mariota has an asteric in it for injury concerns.
If he stays healthy, he will play much better than what we have seen. I just think that the 24/23 stat line to prove he is what he is, is a bad argument
Even if the stat is a fact.

If he's on pace for another 12 TD season, he'll get pulled before he gets a chance to improve on that number . So if he stays healthy and that isn't the case, he'll definitely surpass it. But 12 TDs is such an unbelievably low number for a starting QB, it's really difficult to bet on any QB failing to surpass that

No. We can.

We can beat anyone. The problem is you have to beat three or four good teams consecutively to win a super bowl. Mariota has been too up and down for me to see that happening.

You put QB standings. I figured I’d post some relevant stuff.

It’s 2 consecutive years worth of production, regardless of reasons why. Like it or not it’s very relevant. If it wasn’t 24/23 it’s almost guaranteed Mariota has a long term contract signed and all question marks are gone.

The article looks at his first FOUR years...but you can't?
Guess that discussion doesn't fit into your bashing, so let's take a look at the last two years...since that's all you want to talk about.
But first, a correction. You said he has an 85 qb rating? Close, it's 89.4! And you wonder why we keep pointing out things you guys make up or get 'wrong.'
Then you say he's regressed for the last two years...? REALLY?
So did Mariota improve last year over 2017? YES! In your given context of only looking at the last two years. His qb rating went up 13 points. His completion % went up almost 7%. His ypa went up .5 yards. His TD % went up .4% and his INT % went down .9%. So he improved since the previous year, right? Or did he regress from the previous year...as you claim?
For those who are willing to look at all 4 years of his career will see that 2017 was simply a down year for him statistically. He had his lowest qb rating of his career at 79. In the other 3 years, he's in the 90's (91.5, 95.6, 92.3).

You are hilarious! You make a claim he's making a point and ignoring the context. And in your next paragraph, you draw a poor conclusion based on one stat...while ignoring all context!!!

Huh?
We traded a 2020 4th and 2019 7th round picks for a 2019 6th and Tannehill. Future draft picks are considered one round lower in terms of value so a value way of looking at this is...we gave up a 5th and 7th for a 6th and Tannehill. Oh and THEY paid $5mil of his salary so he ALSO only counts less than $1.9mil in cap space this year.
That's a fantastic deal for us! And the point is to have a quality backup in case we get into the same situation we got into last year needing a backup qb to play decently to get us into the playoffs.

So...are you saying that if he doesn't put up stats like the top 5 QB's, we should dump him and try again for a HOF qb? How many years do you give a QB to hit those numbers? 1, 2, 3, 5?
Of course we shouldn't stop looking for a Hall of Fame QB, but you don't need a HOF QB to win the SB and your odds of drafting a HOF qb are quite low. So the question is, do you throw away your chances of winning now to keep trying to find a HOF qb...or try to win now with solid qb? Obviously, Mariota and others will have to step up to earn new contracts...but where do YOU draw the line? Would you let him go and mortgage several drafts on another 50/50 chance at a 'franchise' qb who is not likely to be a Hall of Fame qb?
