from the vikings game tonight...


there you go abc, this one is about mariota, feel free to cry about it
Real interesting stat this one.

1 - Can only assume this stat means win/loss against a side with a winning record, at the time of playing them. Not end of season or some other obscure definition.

2 - Further proves we, as a team, play better against good sides, and get dragged down to the standard of poor sides. E.g Thump the Patriots last year but lose to the Bills.

3 - And this one is a bit of a stretch but fits a narrative that I like. In these games against winning teams, we no doubt would of played a bit more no huddle, play-action type football, which IMO has always been MM's strength and has been under-utilised big time.

i would assume so otherwise the total number of winning teams played would have to be a lot higher, i'd think
 
It's weird, but "winning percentage vs teams with winning record" is not the only seemingly important stat that Mariota looks good at.

Adjusted Yards Per Attempt is considered by many to be a better metric than passer rating for QB's

Mariota's Career Adjusted Yards Per Attempt is 7.16 good for the 18th best OF ALL TIME in the NFL, higher than Mathew Stafford or Andrew Luck.
NFL Adjusted Yards per Pass Attempt Career Leaders | Pro-Football-Reference.com


If only he could pass the eyeball test, which tells me he is mediocre, with great inconsistency, sometimes playing like a super star, sometimes sucking badly.

P.S.
My favorite metric for examining QB's is ESPN's Total QBR.
(I favor this metric because it both considers situational stuff like down and distance and score of the game, AND takes QB rushing/fumbles into consideration. And yes, it is flawed, like all single metrics, but its better than anything else i have looked at.)

In this metric, Mariota looks quite average.
In Total QBR for his 2nd, 3rd, and 4th seasons. (I ignore rookie year, because, well, rookie)
2016: 13th best in NFL
2017: 13th best in NFL
2018 20th best in NFL

Why did he get worse (according to QBR) in 2018? My guess, and its just a guess, is Delanie Walker. He had Walker in '16 and '17, not in '18, and as the touchdown catch yesterday shows, Walker really makes a difference.
 
The real best QB don’t meed to go by adjusted metrics or other super limited categories of success. The best QBs also happen to be at the top in your basic Yards, TD, and TD:INT ratio before jumping in, but still also near the top, comp %, rating, or QBR.
 
very interesting read.... abc not gonna like this one

Marcus Mariota should survive as QB for the Titans in 2019 | NFL News, Rankings and Statistics | PFF

even with his epic fantasy stats (as some here say), tannehill was trash last season, basically

The 2018 season was by far Tannehill’s worst yet, earning an abysmal 45.3 overall grade — nearly 30 points fewer than his 2016 mark. Coincidentally, Marcus Mariota is coming off his highest-graded season yet, putting up a 76.8 grade.

Mariota earned the 17th-best overall grade, while Tannehill stumbled to the worst mark among 38 qualifying quarterbacks. In the same vein, Mariota had 13 big-time throws to 10 turnover-worthy plays. Tannehill, perhaps to no one’s surprise given his grade, was the only qualifying quarterback to have 10 more turnover-worthy tosses than big-time throws, with his 8:18 ratio.

Then, there were the major discrepancies.

One of those was the deep ball, where Mariota was far and away the better player. He completed 14 of his 34 throws targeted 20 or more yards downfield, but six were dropped — tied for most in the NFL. That led to an adjusted completion rate of 58.8%, best in the league.

You’ll have to scroll down that list a bit to find Tannehill — all the way to the bottom, in fact. He ranked 35th with an adjusted completion rate of 28.6% on deep throws. Only twice in his career has he managed to bring that rate above 40%: in 2012 and 2016.

I have no issue with Tannehill. I like him.

But that last quote was the complaint of my friends who are dolphins fans.

Thought the guy was completely worthless throwing a deep ball. I even saw a couple of games where he was nowhere even near the WR when throwing bombs.

They also said that Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, and Andrew Luck were tier 2 QBs , Alex Smith is an incredible deep ball thrower, Tyrod Taylor is a top 10 QB, Tom Savage was just as good as Watson, Brett Hundley was just as good as Aaron Rodgers, and Mariota was absolutely horrible when he threw 45 TDs to 19 INTs in his first two years, and much improved during his 24 TD 23 INT stint. See any problem with their grading system?
 
Tannehill threw 8 TDs over a 3 game stint last year. About as many as Mariota threw in 13. LOL!
 
I just can’t get over 13 followed by 11....That’s insane. It’s amazing we made the playoffs and then damn near did again.....

This right here! If he was a good QB he'd still be in Miami. I don't see the appeal he brings just because he makes some good throws against scrubs during preseason.

That's nice. Look at the stats. 24 TDs 23 INTs

Watch Josh Rosen PS highlights. And you'll see a guy getting beat to hell due to an unforgivably bad o line. That's been RT's life, whileas Mariota has had much better lines and has been worse

It’s the Mettenberger syndrome all over again.

Looks good against scrubs in preseason = must be great
