You changed the goalposts son. I won’t even bother.


But thanks for proving Mary never out played watson
i never even mentioned watson

and what goalposts did i move? you said you could find a game where brady got outplayed by manziel, so show me it. simple as what you said.

I mean, unless you were just completely full of shit and making stuff up.
 
Well he was responding to the Winston mariota comparison I called retarded saying head to head qb stats matter


That null and voids anything he said

I wasn't. I responded and QUOTED abc's post saying Mariota thinks he can beat 53 guys on the other team himself...which was a poor response to CJ's post about Mariota beating Watson (not Winston) in a head to head battle. I just pointed out that CJ had said Mariota beat ONE player head to head. He didn't say Mariota beat the whole team by himself.

See the problem is, you guys make stuff up and then bash your made up stuff as if we said it.

TROLL TROLL TROLL!!!

So I'm guessing we'll never see you complain about another QB outperforming our QB in a game since those stats don't matter, right???
 
Sorry im not playing a game where you move the goalposts

You're not playing HIS game???

YOU were the one who said you could do it. That makes it YOUR game!!! And since we were talking about HEAD to HEAD qb stats...THAT is what you need to provide!

Have fun!
 
Couldn't find it huh? I wonder at times whether you're really a Titans fan or just someone trolling for reactions. I'm not trying to be insulting, either, it's an honest assessment.

Keep spinning though, if you like. If nothing else, it's entertainment during the off-season.

:whoop:

He just trolls...but he's good at that!

got caught in his own lie lol
 
Why does outperforming another qb matter at all when they play in different offenses against different defenses with different players

Apples to walnuts

So you don't believe in comparing qb stats over a game or a season? Since in either case, according to your logic, they are playing in different offenses and against different defenses with different players, right?

BTW, I'm just repeating back to you what you said above to make sure you mean what you're saying.
 
NE vs Jac, week 2:

Brady: 234 yards, 2 TD’s
Bortles: 376 yards, 4 TD’s

If we’re only basing QB talent off head to head matchups, then Bortles must be the GOAT. You can find stats where inferior QB’s outplay great QB’s all day long. Means nothing. Total body of work is all that matters at the end of the day. 24vs23. Make all the excuses you want lol.

No one is ONLY basing qb talent off a head to head matchup. Try keeping up!

HE changed the goal posts? A good try at misdirection...but he just asked you to put up (find where Manziel outplayed Brady head to head)…

...you make a claim...but then won't "bother" to prove it.

I see.
 
Uh...we have a damn good team that is ONLY held back by Mariota?

How was our run game most of the year? Great? Good? Poor? It was poor most of the year. So poor Derrick Henry was questioning himself why he was so bad and why the coaching staff had to go with Lewis more. You might wonder why Lewis was poor considering he was excellent in NE. Perhaps because our vaunted OL was playing horribly. Conklin was terrible all year until Kelly replaced him and played well. Spain was so bad he got benched. Kline was so good we didn't want him back. And Jones was so good he gave up the most sack of all NFL OC's despite the fact that we threw the ball fewer than most teams.
Yup, the OL was not great for the first 2/3 of the year. But don't for one moment sit there and tell me that a lot of those pressures that Marcus got were not his own fault. I sat in the stadium for the entirety of probably the worst game I've ever seen in professional football when we played the Ravens. Some sacks were quick pressure by a good D play or a blown block. But just as many or more were Marcus seeing the rush and his play completely breaking down. And that went on all season.

And the run game was not great in the first half of the season. That was the part of the year where we went 5-6 and 1 of those wins came with Gabbert starting. What did Marcus do during that time to elevate the team? He got us a big win against the Pats and somehow pulled one out of a hat against the Eagles. Those were awesome! Now if he could only do that on a consistent basis we'd be in business.

But the only thing that actually got this team in the win column and in the playoff hunt was not Marcus, it was the OL and run game finding their legs. That's a problem for Marcus. This is a team game, yes. But there's a reason the QB is the most important position on field. With the way the cap, FA, and the draft is set up, you can't just go out there and build a juggernaut team that's just missing a QB. This isn't college, you can't be Alabama and Ohio State and recruit the best talent in the country and win in spite of your QB. That position is the one spot that can make a major impact on every game and differentiate your team from everyone else. Marcus doesn't do that for us right now. We've had 4 years and we're still sitting here arguing if he ever can. That's a problem!
Walker was hurt pretty much the whole year and Smith got hurt just when he started showing signs of figuring it out. CD was our only good wr and even he was up and down. Taylor was even more inconsistent and Matthews quit on the team early on.

Is this the vaunted offense Mariota is holding back?
Injuries suck, but they're part of the game. Does Brady/Rodgers/Mahomes/Big Ben/Brees/Wilson/Rivers/Watson/Luck's games go to complete crap when they lose a receiving weapon? No. They find other ways to get the job done.

Am I saying that Marcus is the worst QB ever, or that he doesn't shine in spots? Absolutely not! He's looked great in some games, and that drives me nuts because it just makes no sense why he looks so terrible in others.
In fairness, Mariota was up and down too. Some games he was quite good and other games he was not.

We added the top free agent OG to play LG and we know they'd like to improve the IOL more. Could be a draft pick...maybe they'd consider moving Conklin to RG and leave Kelly at RT. But that line has been getting a lot of consideration for improvement.

We added the top slot wr in free agency to improve our wr corp and more help is expected via the draft.

And yes, we added a good QB to be Mariota's backup and to push him. And the only reason we aren't looking at RB is that Henry had a monster December and an improved OL should help Lewis get back to form.

The defense that finished ranked so highly was a problem in some big games too! If you watched all the games, you'd know this. Indy marched up and down the field against our vaunted D and we got little Edge pressure from our OLB's (Morgan and Rak). And when Casey was out, we could only get pressure by blitzing ppl up the middle. Our pass rush need help and got some in Landry and Wake...but we likely need more.

I also wouldn't rule out them wanting a true NT given how the Texans ran all over us as did Indy quite a bit though they may hope a better partner for Casey up the middle and more PT for Evans may solve that problem.

This is a good team that had a lot of problems last year. At times, Mariota was one of them. But he was far from the only one and to suggest otherwise is to be the kind of fan that ignores everything except the QB. When we win, it's all the QB. When we lose, it's all the qb.

This is a team sport. We need the whole team to play better and more consistently if we want a championship!
Agree that the OL and defensive pass rush need help. Rak and Morgan were pathetic at getting a pass rush, so hopefully we can get better there. But you're making my point for me that we need better QB play when you point out other teams shredding our defense. At some point in this league, your D can only be so good. We had a top rated defense and even it still got shredded. It will be very rare that you'll ever have a teams D be so shut down that you can get by on scoring 17 points a game. We need a playmaker at our QB position to compete with the rest of the league, and Marcus has not proved that he's it week in and week out.

Not saying at all that it's all on the QB whether we win or lose, but like I said earlier, with the way the NFL is setup now, the QB is the one position that has the most control over whether you win or lose. They differentiate your team more than any other single position. And this isn't a thread about what to do with Henry next year, or the defense. It's what to do with Marcus.

The answer to that question is, he's got this one year left, and if he doesn't show marked improvement, he's out.
 
i never even mentioned watson

and what goalposts did i move? you said you could find a game where brady got outplayed by manziel, so show me it. simple as what you said.

I mean, unless you were just completely full of **** and making stuff up.
The you said it had to be a week Manziel won and Brady lost

Moving goalposts since the original argument was mariota outplayed Watson in a game Mary lost
 
HE changed the goal posts? A good try at misdirection...but he just asked you to put up (find where Manziel outplayed Brady head to head)…

...you make a claim...but then won't "bother" to prove it.

I see.
Anyone can find any week of any qb where they have better stats than a much much better qbs. Hence why head to head stats are retarded

Do we ever say “we’ll at least tajae had more yards than Antonio brown he must be better!”

Cuz that would be retarded right?
 
Mariota needs to become hooked on pain pills and never miss games. It worked for Favre...…………..lol
 
The you said it had to be a week Manziel won and Brady lost
well if you lost and the other person won... you clearly didnt outplay them... seems like that would come with the territory of outplaying

and again... im not involved in your mary/watson debate so i dont give a crap about that.

@CJtheBeast


Mary has never outplayed watson
 
Yup, the OL was not great for the first 2/3 of the year. But don't for one moment sit there and tell me that a lot of those pressures that Marcus got were not his own fault. I sat in the stadium for the entirety of probably the worst game I've ever seen in professional football when we played the Ravens. Some sacks were quick pressure by a good D play or a blown block. But just as many or more were Marcus seeing the rush and his play completely breaking down. And that went on all season.

Everyone gets blame for that game. Some sacks were on the OL - wish played pretty poorly. I think at least 1 was on our rb. Some were coverage sacks where no one was open. Some was on the playcalling for putting us in a position where we're sending 5 guys out and we can't protect well enough against a 4 man rush. And certainly some of them are on Mariota who said as much. Sometimes he couldn't find anyone open, other times he tried to run away from the pressure and simply couldn't. It was a rough game all around. But again, is that ALL on the QB? Mariota should take his fair share of the lumps but I don't see anyone calling out the other players who contributed bad/terrible outings...is the point.

And the run game was not great in the first half of the season....where we went 5-6

Isn't that like 2/3's of the season?

What did Marcus do during that time to elevate the team? He got us a big win against the Pats and somehow pulled one out of a hat against the Eagles. Those were awesome! Now if he could only do that on a consistent basis we'd be in business.

You just answered your own question. He elevated/helped us win some games when our OL was terrible and our run game was about as bad as it could be. He came in and played hurt against the Jags and willed us to a win. Philly's, Chargers, Dallas, NE and Houston in wk 12. Late when Henry was in beast mode they didn't need him to do a lot and he was still playing hurt. I think if he was healthy and had that run game and that OL, we'd see more of his best. But as you said, and I keep saying, he needs to be consistent with it this year or he's gone.

it was the OL and run game finding their legs.

So wins earlier in the season when the OL and run game are bad...don't count?

That position is the one spot that can make a major impact on every game and differentiate your team from everyone else. Marcus doesn't do that for us right now. We've had 4 years and we're still sitting here arguing if he ever can. That's a problem!

As you mentioned earlier, he HAS done it in games...so why do people keep asking if he CAN?

Mariota needs protection...all of them do...but we haven't been good at doing that. Those other QB's also have pro bowl or all pro caliber weapons, Mariota hasn't except for Walker who was hurt all year. Even when you get a Mahomes, he has two huge mismatch weapons and a good ol to protect him. All qb's need help. CD is a good start. Humphries is a nice addition and upgrading the line should be huge though I think we probably need one more piece. But again, the question is not whether he's good enough to elevate us and win games for us, the question is whether he can do it consistently!!!

Injuries suck, but they're part of the game. Does Brady/Rodgers/Mahomes/Big Ben/Brees/Wilson/Rivers/Watson/Luck's games go to complete crap when they lose a receiving weapon? No. They find other ways to get the job done.

Sometimes they don't play well either due to injuries...but a lot of those guys have more protection and more help.

He's looked great in some games, and that drives me nuts because it just makes no sense why he looks so terrible in others.

That's why he needs to be more consistent or he'll be moving on.

But you're making my point for me that we need better QB play when you point out other teams shredding our defense. At some point in this league, your D can only be so good. We had a top rated defense and even it still got shredded.

What that should tell you is that ratings only are indicators. You need to look at the whole package to put things into context. And I'm not making my point for you. If Indy takes the kick off and marches 90 yards down the field...shredding our D, what does THAT have to do with our QB? That's on our D! And part of that shredding is their run game beating our D badly.
 
Anyone can find any week of any qb where they have better stats than a much much better qbs.

Apparently not since we're still waiting on you showing Manziel outplaying Brady head to head. Repeating the wrong thing will not make it become true...no matter how many times you say it.

Do we ever say “we’ll at least tajae had more yards than Antonio brown he must be better!”

No...we don't. But IF AB had 195yds receiving and 2 TD's and Sharpe had 200yds receiving and 3 TD's...it would show us that Sharpe CAN play at that high of a level...which was MY POINT that you keep mangling!
 
ROFLMAO!!!

I know logic and reality goes over the head of some...but sometimes...sometimes...someone's perception changes when they see the logic laid out instead of just repeating someone else's garbage.

Thanks for the laugh!
I like your positive attitude, I'm sure some will but there are those that would rather b*tch and complain.

Looking forward to this season!
