I don't think NFL teams/GMs are that short-sighted. I'm not sure a good game against what is most likely a bottom 5 (maybe worse) team is going to fool anybody and suddenly have the phones ringing. There's 4+ years of tape on the guy at this point.I honestly think if he has a great game, JRob is shopping him. Sell high ya know.
Should we shop Mary b4 he gets injured and gets us nothing this offseason?
Hes still owed 18M on the year, that may be too rich for a QB needy team. But if we keep him out there hes 100% going to hurt himself
That’s if they consider Mary slightly better than tanne... and if they don’t, no difference.
Don't totally agree with that. It could just mean they aren't ready to throw in the towel on him... yet. Even if they think Tanny is the same or perhaps even slightly better than Mary, they can't just give up on the dude after 2 weeks in a contract year. And I say that as a staunch believer that Mary is NOT the guy.If MM plays they clearly believe he’s the best option for 2019.
And it will all be because of the media.
I think Mariota knows what's at stake here.
Fortunately Mariota plays pretty well on National TV.

If we get more performances like last Sunday though, he could definitely still get yanked.
Generally speaking, I think you're right. But this is a tricky situation with Flota. Major, major decision incoming. Like the biggest one I can remember for this franchise in a long ass time. It's also possible Vrabel has been ordered from above to let Flota have this season. Or at least a fair shake at it.Idk maybe so but the Titans have given their time to Marcus. So I don’t think they feel obligated to do so this year. Unless Vrabel and JRob don’t have their mind made up on his future here.
Vrabel strikes me as the kind of coach who is going to play the guys who give him the best chance to win every week. I don’t think that excludes the QB, but I could be wrong.

Vrabel sounded done with Mariota in his PC. A reporter referenced Mariota's comments about needing to get rid of the ball and not taking sacks , and Vrabel said, "Sure, if he feels that way". He reassured the WRs that they weren't going to continue to be as uninvolved as they were against Cleveland, and Mariota said, "Hold my beer".A great game against the busted jags is hardly going to make a difference imo but it’ll be just enough to get him a few more weeks... I guess
Which is the entire problem with this qb.
He won’t have much trade value. Just like I was trying to tell people in another thread. There won’t be many teams bidding for his services this offseason.

I don't believe their mind is made up (Amy/Jrob's anyway). If it were I think he'd either be extended already or Tannehill would be starting right now.
Certainly not worth a #1 if that’s what you mean. But I could see a 3rd or 4th plus 6th for a QB rental team like Jets.
That is what I was implying. Or potentially Jrob telling Vrabel. I would Amy isn't a meddler. But lots of owners can be meddlesome when it comes to major QB decisions.Fair points but I don’t think Amy is telling Vrabel or JRob what to do when it comes to roster construction or playing time. Not sure if that’s what you were implying or not.
You think they play Mariota over Darnold? He’s supposed to be back in a couple weeks. Not sure I’d want my team trading a 3rd rounder for a 2 week rental.

He’s estimated to be cleared to practice in 5 weeks and that is IF his course shows improvement. That doesn’t mean he’s ready to play. He’s lost conditioning with mono and he’s at risk for a spleen rupture until nearly all inflammation is gone.
So yeah, I could see them giving up a 3rd plus the money for a 8 week rental. Darnold is the guy for sure, so I wouldn’t see them extending Mariota at all. I can see Mariota going down the Bradford career path but on a cheaper level.
Seriously? You dont understand how in a hurryup offense like that, that does not give the defense time to change their personnel or move people around so they are forced to run the same defense as the prior play?
I am embarrassed for you. Also this >< close to putting you on ignore. The ridiculous spinning of reality is starting to get too much to handle.
