This trade is getting roasted everywhere I look, which I don't really understand at all. We gave up a 4th next year, what does a 4th round pick really matter? You get a fringe starter there if all goes well.

Most people who are not Titan fans do not watch the Titans very often. So I'm not surprised people are just looking at this like "Tannehill sucks, why would anyone trade for him?!?"

The backup QB position has been an achilles heel throughout the entire Mariota era. Everyone who follows this team knows that, regardless of how your feel about Marcus. I personally am glad JRob is done dicking around with Gabberts and Cassels. And like you said, there is at least some small chance this guy could become our starter. The talent is certainly there.
 
I think this is exactly what Mary needed. Someone to push him.

It's easy to hold the ball too long when you know your spot is safe. Now that we have a viable 2nd option Mary better sling it

I don’t think Mariota has ever had effort issues. Or stopped working on his game. Not sure who you’ve been watching

The writing is on the wall. Unless Mariota has an incredible season, his time as a Titan is quickly coming to an end. Going to be 3 or 4 really upset people in Nashville and a lot of very happy fans.

Mary's parents will be glad to see their son a lot more.
 
People already counting Mariota out and we could have our franchise QB.

Y’all do realize Tannehil was just released right? And y’all are cheering for the outsider who already got the boot over our guy who’s helped get this franchise to where it is now.

Honestly, some of y’all need to jump in front of a train
 
Backup QB has better production even after kissing an entire year with ACL, worse rosters and coaching.

Well...lots of possibilities. Even though Foles has had two good playoff runs and 1 magical SB, his career stats are not in line with the way overblown contract he just got. Same thing with Cousins last year. Get a desperate team and a little bit of impressive playing time from Tanny and who knows.

I think were more likely to get a como pick if we let Mariota walk at the end of this season

Uh, no. Stop for a minute, go back and read what I wrote, think about the context, and then respond.

I don’t need to go back and read it. You said that arguing Mariota is better than Tannehill to any rational person shows he isn’t the franchise guy.

Then I pointed out an example (on this forum nonetheless) where people were saying we don’t need Peyton Manning because we had Jake Locker. I, among many others, were arguing that point. So by your standards that means Peyton isn’t a franchise QB because he was being compared to and argued over Jake Locker.

Just playing devils advocate and showing you that just because someone is arguing that x is better than y doesn’t mean anything - especially on this board. It’s a silly point you were trying to make.

Made up stuff by people frustrated by Mariota. No one has ever had a good argument about his effort.

I do agree with Brave about him slinging it though. Hes going to have to this season. Caution is fine but hes going to have to give the WRs a chance to go up and get the ball.

My critiques of Mariota was not taking off fast enough in the pocket/pocket awareness. And his ball security early on. The fumbles got me more than most of his picks. I think he's definitely improved on ball security and has consistently got better with pocket awareness. Especially at the end of last year. Then he got injured.

My concern is moving on too early from a piece you'll have the longest on your team. Even as Mariota ages he'll still be faster than most QB's. He'll prob never be "slow" if he takes care of his body and avoids big injuries. You never know if he can be better than Watson or Luck until we see him with some consistency on offense, weapons, and a staff that lets him air it out. I think we'll finally get to see that this year.

I think it'll only be an injury that sets him back. I think he's an elite competitor who has the skillset to be an elite NFL QB. If he is, we still need a Tennehill or other top backup because we'll be playing for wins (playoffs) and security if we make it and have an injury. I think we've neglected the backup QB spot too long.

I'm happy with the pickup but tired of the unwarranted hate Mariota gets (not that he doesn't have critiques).
 
A couple of things I'll point out.

Can I just point out that the fact that you guys are arguing over whether Mariota is better than a backup QB, to any rational person, should prove that he is not and will never be a franchise QB. Franchise QBs are compared to the top QBs of the era, not their own backups.

LOL!

So if anyone suggests a comparison of a backup and a starter...the starter is automatically no longer able to be a franchise QB? Funny!

Someone suggested a comparison between the two in a single game. Most backups have 1 good game. The very POINT of my post is to compare one game is meaningless. Mariota is vastly superior...and that's in a bad year for him.

So you haters can chill. Mariota either will or will not get it done this year. If he does, he gets signed and you guys can cry or get on board. If he doesn't, we'll see how Tanny does and then look for a new QB in the next good QB class.

It's gonna get played out one way or the other...so not much point in hating now.
