It’s not like we’re sending him over the middle in traffic. Even Tom frickin Brady has been given a couple opportunities to catch the ball and he has a 0 in athleticism.
Shh... let it go.

He obviously has zero understanding how football works.

Amd mariota is athletic enough to be better off out wide. TANNY doesn't need to leave the qb spot

Tanny used to play WR. Mariota being athletic doesn’t make him a WR.

If I’m a DC, I’m way more concerned about THill as a WR and Mariota at QB than I am wasting the time bringing Mariota in to play WR. If nothing else, I’m less concerned than if a regular WR was standing there. THill is capable of being a regular WR as proven by the 3 years of college playing the position.

And let’s not overlook that we’re talking about maybe 2 plays a game.

Everyobe knows at one time he played wr and obviously hed be much better at that than mariota. Mariota sucks. But put mary out there to be the decoy and let the guy who can throw pass
 
It’s just smoke and mirrors so the pats have something extra to plan for. That being said I’d bring in Mariota and line him out wide on 3rd/4th and short situations as a decoy instead of bringing in a wr just to give the d that extra half second of hesitation.

Why take a real weapon off the field to get cute?

The idea of mary at WR does not amuse me

Decoy?
1/1 for 24 yards.

He can throw the ball for a play or who knows, even handoff. Mariota is not a decoy at QB, he’s a step down.
Mariota at WR is nothing more than decoy. You’ve just taken 11 players to play 10.
 
I say we go for the double screen. HIke it to MM, who screen passes to Tannehill, who then throws cross field to Henry who curbstomps his way 75 yards for a TD.

He’d be just as much of a weapon as any other wr lined out wide on a fourth and short run play. I’m not saying to run a pass play for him.
 
Dude. Being a hater is dumb.

Mariota wasn't "crying on the sideline". Come on.
I doubt Mariota cried, not in his character, and they certainly wouldn’t have given a crap the other 10 games, so that wouldn’t make sense now.

The other point is I bet THill down to Mariota at QB is less of a step down the THill to Mariota at WR.
THill played WR, Mariota didn’t.

You know how parents in little league would try to fight the coach if their kid cried and didn't play... Get it.

The fairies got a hot trigger finger today.
 
I'm all for Mariota going out there to run some RPO stuff here and there. That's his thing.

I don't think both of them being on the field at the same time makes any sense. Mariota is a QB. He runs and moves like a QB. I don't think anyone is ever going to look at him like a wildcat threat, and having two QB's on the field while we actually have threats at WR for once is dumb.

I guess it just wasn’t a good joke.

Good call though throwing out the insults after a weak “joke” even if it doesnt apply.

But the point is that he could throw to THill for him to throw again. I don’t see Davis, brown, or if hump is back, that they throw all that well.

That’s all part of the set up of having 2 QBs.
 
Mariota ran a 4.52 at the combine.
Other notable players:
Henry: 4.54
Dion: 4.57
AJ Brown: 4.49
Corey Davis: 4.53
Tajae: 4.55
Tannehill: 4.7
Adoree: 4.42
Byard: 4.51
He's certainly not the fastest, but hes not too far off.
sharpe running a 4.55 was surprising 2 me.
 
I think you don't fool anyone with MM taking a snap and RT out wide. He's either going to pull back and take the bckward pass so he can throw the bomb, or he's going to run a route. Unless we are confident he can run an excellent route to burn one of the safeties, it's not worth it. Yeah... it's just not worth it.

You just explained they need to keep a safety focused on him which takes a player away from a Henry handoff or at least off another receiving target.

It also keeps the LB still to figure out pass or run. Similar to play action and against a zone D, could leave a target open

It is almost unbelievable that a guy who has dedicated his whole life 2 being in shape is as bad an athlete he is. Im 30 and haven't worked out in 15 years more than a random day here and there and I could make him look like a toddler.

Thats not even including my excessive drinking.
