We basically have to spend premium dollars on every position around Mariota to get him to put up mediocre stats.
Either you just make blanket statements to just try and paint broad poor pictures...or you're seriously mis-informed.
Let's look at the PREMIUM money spent at all the positions around Mariota.
LT - check
LG - NEGATIVE
OC - NEGATIVE
RG - NEGATIVE
RT - NEGATIVE
1/5 on the OL
#1 WR - NEGATIVE
#2 WR - NEGATIVE
#3 WR - NEGATIVE
0/3 at WR
#1 TE - check
#2 TE - NEGATIVE
1/2 at TE
#1 RB - NEGATIVE
#2 RB - NEGATIVE
0/2 at RB
Wow!!!! I can see where you get your info. Of the 12 players playing around Mariota, 2/12 are getting premium dollars and one of those two was hurt all year.
It's about time we brought in some help for him...and we still didn't break the bank. We added Saffold and are paying him premium bucks. We added Humphries...who is NOT making premium money for a wr (there's like 26 wr's ahead of him).
So it looks like we are up to 3/12 players getting paid premium bucks around Mariota. Let's see what he does with them!
But your basic premise was completely wrong!
Look what Brady, Rodgers, Luck, Mahomes does with no names playing WR. Mary needs 4 All Pros to be mediocre. And 2 all pro Tackles. Hmmmm
ROFLMAO!!! Brady, Luck, Rodgers, Luck and Mahomes throw to nobodies? Maybe you've never heard of Julian Edelman or Wes Welker or Randy Moss or Gronkowski...but I HAVE!!!
Didn't Rodgers have guys like Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson and Davante Adams...probably more. Ever heard of them?
You never heard of TY Hilton and Reggie Wayne? They may end up being Hall of Fame wr's!
Oh yeah...and that Mahomes guy has nobody...oh...except Kelce - arguably the best TE in the NFL and the most dangerous wr in Hill!
Yeah...no names that every has heard of except you!
Epic fail #2 for you in this post!
And let's go for the trifecta, shall we?
Who are the all pro players surrounding Mariota? Clearly I'd guess you mean Walker (who was hurt the whole season...so can't get stats outta him), Conklin (who didn't really play like an all pro his rookie season but got voted in. But did he even play like an AVG RT last year? Not at all. He wasn't ok to play and got beat all the time), and Lewan who played very well? Who is the 4th all pro? But clearly you're using this label to mislead as Conklin couldn't have blocked Brave last year and Walker was hurt.
Wow...talk about skewing stats and making stuff up!!! That was a doozy of a post of lies!
