Dang. This guy is smart.
I’ll start my rebuttal here with w/l are not a QB stat.Read again, I'm talking about his first 5-6 seasons when he looked like trash. From 2005-2010 he peaked at a 5-5 record.
Mariota is giving me strong "Alex Smith 5 years in" vibes here, where you have a guy who at least has the tools to be an OK player just goes through an endless parade of offensive coaches and weak rosters in a short period of time and comes out a mess.
Mariota hasn't played with a single good wide receiver, and the guys that left all looked like scrubs on other team so it wasn't just the QB. Walker is like a B+ player who usually starts like 10 games. The pass protection has been atrocious 2 years running. He could very well be a lost cause but a stable organization might have actually developed him into at least a plausible NFL starter.
Maybe he's a good reclamation project for another team like Alex Smith was with Harbaugh and then Reid.
Like they lost a close race.So how do the 17 people who voted that he will turn it around and get a new contract feel now?
How do you know that's a coaching issue and not a Mariota issue? I seriously doubt the coaches have been instructing him to play like a scared little biatch and take a bunch of sacks.They either let Mariota be himself by scrambling and running or they play Tannehill.What’s to be lost by him getting injured now?
All this don’t run and take a hit and don’t throw it unless it’s a 100% certainty safety 1st stuff is killing the way he should be playing!!
At this point - going off the QBs we've had over the years, including McNair - I'm almost convinced this organization doesn't want to develop players, much less QBs.How do you know that's a coaching issue and not a Mariota issue? I seriously doubt the coaches have been instructing him to play like a scared little biatch and take a bunch of sacks.
We'll feel completely different about the offense when we have a QB who can pass.It is very hard to deny the FACT that Corey Davis looks like an entirely different player when Tannehill is the qb. Both in last weeks game and the preseason.
At best Mariota is the hobo version of Alex Smith. I would say the poor man's version, but even that is too far of a stretch.I think its an insult to Alex Smith to compare Marcus to him. Just sayin
Then Art must be Robiskie's toilet paper?mariota is dollar general alex smith
Good lord. You guys try so hard to be dismissive of an opinion that does not adhere to the board narrative.
Alex Smith is a mobile guy who excels in the short and intermediate passing games while struggling with the deep ball. Is it that far of a stretch to say Mariota will end up being a solid but unspectacular QB?
The reason I "worry" that he will be more Alex Smith than Aaron Rogers is because the solid but unspectacular QB is the worst kind to have. Good enough to get you to the playoffs but not good enough to do anything once you're there. Good enough to make you want to extend his contract, but then you're stuck in NFL purgatory. A tease that maybe you'll get over the hump, but in the end you just end up spinning your wheels in the first round of the playoffs.
It wasn't an insult to Mariota, but to say that I am "sold" on him would be an outright lie. I am hopeful.
Who would of thought it could get worse than Robiskie.Then Art must be Robiskie's toilet paper?
Disagree. I’m not sure MM is better than smith after his leg fell off regardless of HC or OC. MM is just flat out broken.Give Mariota Andy Reid and he's better than Alex Smith.
