Mariota missed open guys and absolutely stared down Hump nearly every play. His last pass to hump should have been picked as he just stared him down over the middle. I get it that he had drops as well, but come on... Mary looks like a rookie still. I have no idea what Tannehill would like with our true starters, but I seriously doubt he would look worse than Mary.
Exactly. Mary looks uneasy in the pocket, Tannehill didn’t. I don’t care who was on that field, that’s a fact jack.
 
Wow, you have gone off the deep end now. He did NOT get points on the board.

Now you are using hypotheticals and maybes to try to boost that crap qb.
we were on like the 20 yard line, if we were not in a preseason game we would have kicked the fg and scored instead of going on 4th. this is you being dense again
 
He is the better qb, because he is the better qb. He still isn't what I consider to be a "good" qb, but he is better than Mariota. None of this is based on last night, this is their careers.

Once again, listening to national sports shows, they trashed Mariota and praised Tannehill. Only people defending Mariota are the same 5 people who will go down to the last breath defending him.

Good news is, the same homers will be creaming all over themselves about the next starting qb we have and forget all about Mariota.
So you can't like both players, gotcha.
On the other hand, I can and do.

Go Titans!
 
Didn’t watch a play... preseason is a joke and a scam....college doesn’t need preseason, even high schoolers only play a preseason “jamboree” game.

No, the big college teams usually make sure they have 2 or 3 cream puff teams on the schedule. I will say I hate preseason games.

Ahhhh okay...So now it’s simply Mariota doesn’t get enough time...Okay, got it. When is the last time Mariota (with plenty of time) drove downfield like that twice? I’ll wait.......It doesn’t happen often. It’s preseason, I get it, but stop the madness.

Dude, his point was to compare the first series of both. Mariota had one and drove down the field—should have ended in a field goal. Tannehills first drive was a three and out. If MM got another drive to develop some rhythm who knows.

Bottom line is any comparison based on such a small sample size from preseason is ridiculous. We know nothing based on last nights performance. It couldn’t be more irrelevant. If you see the same in the regular season than by all means compare, but not yet.
 
It does matter when you’ve seen the same thing for 4 years and it seems as though nothing has changed. Time will tell, but it doesn’t make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Criticism is certainly warranted here....

Mariota looks uneasy even when he wins playoff games bro . Hes always unorthodox, it’s preseason, glad we have a good back up but we all need to chill with the qb bickering. At this point we all sound ridiculous. Just my opinion.

It doesn't matter. Unless Mariota came out with 3 long passes ending with a TD and Tannehill threw 6 INTs.....these arguments from a faction of people here were going to happen.
1st (and only) drive vs 1st drive - completions and movement vs 3 and out.
Ryan T is a good QB....he should be, as a former starter. Glad we have him.
 
To assume he would have got 2 smooth drives and touchdowns is also foolish. We won’t know, but we will in time.

Lol it could of been a real possibility especially because he had a big drop from Taylor in that first series. Another series probably could of helped him get into a rhythm. It’s not like he’s incompetent and not capable of doing it. C’mon JR you are tryin hard as hell to be somewhat fair to Mary but you just can’t help yourself lol.

Mariota had a drop from Jennings because he floated the ball out of bounds . If he had thrown a better ball, it likely would have been caught.
 
Vrabel got his 1st preseason win last night which I didn’t know. Forgot that the Titans last year went 0-4 and never put up more than 17 points. I know it’s preseason and means absolutely nothing but I’m sure to the coaches and staff it’s gotta feel good to start off with a win.

I’m sorry man, I can’t...5 years in, he needs to be better. I know I’m being critical and hard on him, but it’s chit or get off the pot time. I need to see more brother.

Jennings was the guy, mixed up those two. Better ball? sure. but the ball was definitely playable. No different than Taylor’s drop from Tanne. If he threw it out ahead of him probably would of made it easier for him to catch which Tanne admitted. Both balls were catchable.
 
Mary's mechanics are just so bad. There was a throw last night to Humphries where he didn't step into it at all, just kinda flicked his wrist. He's always had bad footwork, but it's like he doesn't even try to fix it - or if he does try to fix it, he reverts back to his bad habits when the pressure is on.

You are not wrong here. Of course it is sh!t or get off the pot time. Very few here would disagree. But to take one drive in the first preseason game as and indicator of anything is just ridiculous. Did MM look uncomfortable? Maybe. But he has looked comfortable many times in the past, has had huge games, etc. We have all seen it. The issue is consistency and staying healthy. This is his last year to show both—so I will let things play out more than one preseason drive before I start calling for a change.

Did Jennings drop the ball, or did they rule he didn’t get both feet down? Either way, he caught the ball, then hit the ground. Taylor let the ball hit him in the chest and didn’t even use his hands. Definitely different situations.
 
Just went back and watched. Tannehill looks like a real NFL QB. Entirely different throwing than Mariota. No floating. Has touch.

Said it before, and I know the team has to see what Mariota has-- but I fully expect him to replace MM by about week 5.

The boo-birds will be out if Mary plays like last year and with a capable backup, the team will be forced to play RT.
