It's one game.....obviously, if he throws 3 TDs per game, it would be dumb to nitpick. But I don't think it's nitpicking to point out that he was ineffective for 3 quarters and it took a dominant defensive effort to keep us in the game. It's the first game, and plenty of QBs did worse. We're just going to need production from more than PA .

How many QB’s average 3 TD’s per game over the whole year?
 
He throws for 250yds+/- and 3 TD's and you talk like that's average?

So what's your definition of a 'good' qb? Or list the qb's in the league who are 'good' qb's in your mind?
I thought it was a good game by MM BUT,
250yards is avg (appx 4K on the dot 16 games)
3 TD passes was well above avg, he’s on pace for 48. That’s way better than 11 (or 13).

Drew Brees didn’t have 4K yards passing last year.

I agree with everything you said and while 4K yards has become much more common I wouldn’t say it’s average just yet.
 
Well, I’m a proud MarryFairy, but I didn’t see anything that said sign me to a big fatass contract. It was a decent performance, but there was plenty of room for improvement, and we have to remember what’s at stake here. We’re talking about the future of our franchise for the next seven years. Hopefully, the rest of the season sees improvement by leaps and bounds, and 3tds is great, but I’m not going to be crowing until I see consistency, which hasn’t been his strong suit over his career. I’m still in his corner. I still believe he can pick up from the trajectory he was on before all those injuries piled up. I’m just saying we could tone it down a bit. We don’t have to make a mountain out of molehill. It will play itself out in due time.

He had 3992 in 15 games and ranked 13.
Only 4 QBs played 16 games and didn’t reach 4K.

And 248 YPG would have ranked 20 right above case Keenum.

It was a good start.

I just don’t understand the sentiment around having to sign Marcus to a huge long term contract. What other team is going to be bidding for his services on a massive deal?

Why would the Titans bid against themselves? Doesn’t make any sense to me.

This. It was a good start. But it’s super early. I thought given the pressure he was under he did very well. Can he do it regularly? We will see.

Look at what an average contract for a starting QB in the NFL is versus rookie contract. We’re talking 20+ million per year. That’s a huge chunk of cap and he’d be an idiot not to want more than that. We just need to know he’s the guy.

I understand that but it doesnt have to be a long term deal.
 
It seems that the NFL just cannot recognize how dominant the boys were and how well they executed in all areas of the game after a win like Sunday. It is all about how poorly the darling Browns played. I know that Beckham had a once in a lifetime catch, but sheese!!

Baker Mayfield, Browns struck by harsh reality in blowout loss

Par for the course. I am really not that surprised.

Most everything I've read has been pretty accurate. Giving credit for the Titans defense playing very well and the offense being balanced and effective. I've seen several articles opine that perhaps they had been hyping the wrong afc playoff hopeful.

Fact is, the browns did play like crap. 180 penalty yards, a safety, three picks (should have been five). Do we best them without all that? I don't know. But we played better and we won. That's it.

Bingo.

Marcus played well. Given that he was under pressure virtually every snap, very well. He stood in there and largely made the plays. And he did not fumble, throw picks, or take dumb hits or sacks.

If he plays 15 more of similar caliber, sure, let's talk contract.

I guess it’s possible for it to be a short contract, but is it plausible? As nice and personable Mariota is, he will want money. FO’s want value. This is generally what leads to lengthy contracts. I don’t think he’d be any different than any other player in that position.
 
Short contracts with guaranteed money are in vogue

But that’s what I’m saying what other team is going to be bidding. Marcus and his agent can ask for whatever they want but they won’t have much leverage if there aren’t other teams interested.
 
Gil Brandt...

America's Teams...outside of Dallas of course

1) Cleveland Browns


The Browns are poised to become football's Horatio Alger, living out a gridiron rags-to-riches story. Two years ago, no team was as destitute as Cleveland, which became just the second team in NFL history to finish a season 0-16. Fittingly, the leader of the Browns' renaissance is Baker Mayfield, a former walk-on who rose to become a Heisman Trophy-winner at Oklahoma. Mayfield will be joined this season by another bigger-than-life superstar, trade acquisition Odell Beckham Jr., who ranked second only to Tom Bradyin jersey and merchandise sales between March 1 and May 31, according to the NFL Players Association.

There is something American about the passion the Browns fans in the Dawg Pound display despite having endured an extremely dire existence since the franchise's return in 1999. I know it's only anecdotal, but I can say that, after years of receiving hardly any calls about the Browns while hosting my radio show on SiriusXM Radio, I now receive almost as many such calls as a I do about the Cowboys. General manager John Dorsey has a done a great job assembling the most talented Browns roster in two decades. Now we need to see what first-year head coach Freddie Kitchens can do with it.

The rest....

If nobody else is interested, then he played poorly or had another injury.

I’m trying to see it. You seem to be saying that Mariota will have a good season but nobody will want him, therefore his price tag will be low. Maybe that will happen somehow, idk.

If he plays well enough that the Titans want to resign him, there will be many other teams willing to pay him. That said just tag him. I'm sorry but if he does have a solid year, I want him to show me 1 more before giving him 100M+.
