Well duh. The football people know Mariota's not really that good. He shouldn't have even been a first rounder if we're being honest about his skill set and background.
what are basing this off of besides your armchair GM abilities?
The "football people" thought he was good enough to be drafted 2nd overall and by all accounts he was highly coveted and would not have slipped past the second pick even if Tennessee didn't take him.

You are a fricking idiot. Mariota was graded 1st round his sophmore year.

Basing it off of the fact that he never had to make more than a couple of throws where the receiver wasn't 10 yards open.
Also basing it off of the fact that his completion percentage drops to ~55% when throwing to his second read.
Also basing it off of the fact that Oregon QBs have sucked arse in the NFL.
I think Tennessee ownership wanted Mariota (not coaching) because he's not really the type of QB that Whisenhunt prefers.
There have been plenty of examples of players picked in the top 5 that have been train wrecks. Then people after the fact said they should've known better because all of the red flags were there. This will be one of those cases.

I like Mariota and don't hate the pick, but Mett seems like a better fit for that offense. He reminds me of Alex Smith where you know he can be a solid starter down the road, but is he a guy you want at #2?

Mariota had one of the best down field throw percentages in cfb. Can you back any of this drivel up?

lol tough guy here. Clearly the Titans think Mett sucks or they wouldn't have drafted him second overall and turned down a VERY lucrative trade offer(s) in doing so.
If the guy went to Ole Miss you'd be in here crowing about how he sucks and what a tool he is for sporting stupid goatees.

With no one close to his receivers. That won't be the case in the NFL. We'll see how it turns out, but he's set up to fail with that OL.

Let me get this straight...he threw 55 percent to wr down field that were covered while in the pocket? Oregon led the country with 38 frosh TDs with never starting the same 5 OL once. Mariota was our savior.

This seems like nothing more than a convenient talking point for you that has no truth to it. It's not like Oregon is cranking out top notch receivers every year.

I said ~55% when throwing to his second read. That was reported in an ESPN Sports Science pre-draft segment. Seeing as every game he'll have to make several checkdowns that's pretty significant. There are no Washington State defenses in the NFL.
Winston/Mariota Sports science
And that's a college 55%. It could be worse in the NFL. But hey you're a fanboy, you'll probably just say ESPN's lying.

I have seen Mariota for 3 years. We had more injuries to our OL last than any other year in 3 decades. We had an all new wr core and a true frosh Rb. Mariota didn't set his feet after the 1st read because it was Run, Mariota, Run. He masked a ton of deficiencies.

Mariota can run all he wants but this is nfl speed as well, I don't think it'll be easy out running the defense then finding a guy 30 yard down the field wide open every time.

Maybe a bit strong worded there?

I'd say he has a great arm and no mobility and I'd say the Titans are fricking retarded for drafting a QB #2 that has this many question marks when they have so many other areas of need they could have filled with one trade down of that pick.
And Bisonduck, please throw all Oregon QB stats out the fricking window. That system is very unique and effective in college, but is NOTHING like a pro system. Oregon stats are inflated every year because how great the system is. He didn't have a bunch of anticipation throws, extremely tight windows and rarely ever had to check down to #3 and #4 receivers.
Mariota is a big, strong, smart, athletic, QB that has average arm strength and no experience in a pro system. He is a good pick for a team that has everything in place besides QB. He is a TERRIBLE pick for a team that has a decent QB and a high school offensive line.
ETA:
I don't htink Mett is Tom Brady. But he is a decent QB who can make all the throws and had a solid rookie campaign. AND HE'S CHEAP. The Titans have too many damn holes to blow a #2 pick on a QB with question marks.

Deficiencies the Titans also have, but he can't run away from them in the pros.
