We all know (except Gut) that Mariota is not getting resigned. That’s a given. But if he wants to play out this season he better bring it tomorrow. Another clunker tomorrow and it’s impossible to trot him out there week 4. The receivers have to be getting tired of this crap. They never get looked at beyond 10 yards (even when they’re wide open) unless it’s a 1 read design shot play. It’s getting ridiculous.

The Jets would need to make a move THIS week. Some fans think they can contend for a playoff spot. I seriously don't! Gase has all the power so he will make dumb moves if he wants it. But it's not a smart play for the Jets. What's their best case scenario? Trade for Mariota and then he comes in and lights it up for them in a different offense, doesn't get hurt, and elevates that offense for 6-8 weeks and then Darnold comes back with very little experience and immediately lights it up?
That's a lot more wishful thinking than fans here hoping Mariota improves here.
That'd be silly!
Of course, if you want to get rid of Mariota and are hoping he gets traded...Steelers, Saints, and Jags lost their QB's too. If Mariota rips up the Jags and Minshew is bad...Mariota and Adoree for Jalen?
I'm frankly surprised we haven't seen the Giants trade Eli to the Jags!
Everything in my post is common knowledge. You’re the only one on this board who doesn’t believe it. And I’m fine with that. This thread is littered with GIF’s of 8 missing wide open receivers. And even more examples on Twitter that aren’t hard to find. And if you think the WR’s aren’t getting fed up with it, then idk what tell you.
Oh I’m not married to any scenario, I’m just positing a possibility in response that there ARE scenarios out there in which Mariota could be moved.
In my mind it’s simple now.
1. Mariota improves the remainder of the games gets a very minor extension.
2. Mariota doesn’t get an extension (injury or otherwise) and hits the market end of this year.
3. Mariota gets moved and Tannehill finishes year.
4. If #3 and we make playoffs, Tannehill gets extension.
Tannehill being here is a reflection of JRob’s confidence in 2-4 and lack of confidence in #1.
Mariota did clock the ball on 3 and 2 w/ 16 seconds left. OL didn’t have anything to do with that.
So let's play it out. The 2nd down play was a 7-8yd passing play and from snap to spike took 17 seconds. So let's say instead of spiking the ball on 3rd down, we run the slants play then for a similar 7 yard gain and we don't get a chance to spike the ball since there isn't enough time left. At least with the spike, Smith had an opportunity to dial up a play that gave us a shot at 10-15 yards and got us out of bounds for a realistic fg try. Why run slants there when there isn't enough time!
The playcalling the last 8minutes on offense was not good. Especially the 2min drive! The first play of the two minute drive was a 4 yd pass to DW who wasn't close to the sideline. That also ran off about 17 seconds. That's bad playcalling and bad clock management by the coaching staff.
But those play calls were all made by the QB, right?
As I said, plenty of blame to go around. I don't have as much problem with the spike as I do that the playcalls were bad and the spike was useless since it didn't result in a better playcall. You don't like that and some of Mariota's other play during the game, I get it and agree as I said in my assessment of the game. But there was a lot of players making mistakes. We need 1...maybe 2 plays to be made and had about 15 chances to make them. No one did on offense, defense, or special teams. And throw the coaching staff in there as well!
Was he told to do that from the coaches? I don't know but I was so mad about it. There was so many coaching blunders by Vrabel in that game. What is it about divisional games that makes him tighten up and lose his aggressiveness? Should have not punted it away and went for it on 4th on the 2nd to last possession.Mariota did clock the ball on 3 and 2 w/ 16 seconds left. OL didn’t have anything to do with that.

Oh ok. Gawd I hope he just wakes the F up and starts slinging the ball like crazy.He was not. Mariota said he decided to do it. He also said it was the wrong thing to do, so at least he owned it.
He won't look at them. They've been posted and @Gut is like helen fucking keller.Everything in my post is common knowledge. You’re the only one on this board who doesn’t believe it.

I'm happy he understands it was wrong. I just don't like the fact that in year 5, he's still making those kinds of mistakes.He was not. Mariota said he decided to do it. He also said it was the wrong thing to do, so at least he owned it.

Just stop it. The LB was shot out of a rifle and Humphries had to stop his momentum and catch Mariota's Charmin soft lob. Humphries has been one of the leaders in YAC before arriving here. If anyone could have evaded that defender, he could have. There was no chance. You're losing credibility as you continue to point the finger elsewhere.
Well, you're obviously wrong in discussing the ones by Herndon. Why bring in more? They're all over Twitter of him taking sacks, missing reads, he missed an open Walker on the first pass of the game...Wow! Is that all you have to make your point???
That’s funny! I’ve already discussed all the plays Herndon had on Twitter from the last game. So obviously I’ve looked at them. Have you?
When all you have are insults...you’re not winning any debates. So put up a play and let’s discuss it if you’re so sure you’re right!
Mariota even said it was a bad decision on his part. I don’t want to debate it, but the summary is this. You spike on 3 and 2 rather than having a quick out or even a design run to the sideline for 3 yards and you spend MAYBE 5 seconds. You either have 4 and 2 with 10 seconds or you have 1 and 10 with 10 seconds. The latter you get a chance to advance the ball further before the kick. With the latter, if you fail to get the 1st down, you have another shot at it to get the first and advance the ball.
Spiking it on 3 and 2 was the wrong choice. And Mariota even said so.

If you can't see it, helen keller it is.
The missed tackles is what pissed me off most about this last game , Mariota’s lack of accuracy was second . If we get another quarterback be it Tanne this year or someone next year I sure hope they’re a can’t miss Mahomes or Watson type because qb’s have different flaws . We could get a downfield thrower who throws picks in key moments . Great qb’s are kinda rare , we need to figure out how to win right now and stop being so negative. I swear I feel like these hateful vibes probably been affecting this team for years and this is the worst I can remember. Even worse than the Whisenhunt era. Lol
