3-plus years and it’s the same ole shite... staring down receivers, getting hurt every game, lobbing passes to no one...

It’s just never gonna click for this guy.

Now he has no offensive line. Thank you NFL for cracking down on hitting defenseless players (sarcasm).

It's weird when scouts just randomly decide that a system QB is a real prospect. It happens every once in a while, and Mariota was definitely one of those cases.

What about Bradford, he's made a shite load of money, and has he played a full season in last 6 years??? And got paid again.

In his defense, the Mike Millarkie/Robiskie offense he was in the last couple seasons was the definition of ‘square peg in round hole’... but this was supposed to be different... and it’s not. All preseason and now today.

The lights never coming on for him as an nfl qb.

Didn’t they have like the best line in football last year?

Conklin is injured and Lewan got KO'd on a cheap shot crack back block during an INT return.

i agree he hasn't developed (i made similar arguments last year when people wouldn't believe me)

but it wasn't b/c of his system in college

Mariota was Oregon's system while he was there. Half the time plays broke down because teams had caught on to Oregon and Mariota improvised.

He made that team look way better than they really were under Helfrich.

Pat Mahomes was in the ultimate “college system”... and he’s put up more TDs and yards in one half of football today than Mariota could do in 2 full games.

I’m guessing mariota would look a lot better coached by Andy reed and surrounded by the chiefs weapons.

I’m probably one of the biggest Mariota defenders around, but there’s no excuse for him to struggle like he did last year and not show signs of improvement throughout the offseason.

I give him a pass on some of the injuries, but it’s definitely at the point where I wince every time he airs it down the middle. His decision making must improve.

He has legitimately gotten worse throughout his career.

Dion Lewis is so much better than Derrick Henry

Then Blaine Gabbert leads a TD drive to tie the game.


Titans will unquestionably blow this, though.

What a deflating loss for Titans fans. This sucks but at least we are used to mediocrity.

Hmm did you watch gabbert?

Saints have 2 QBs available if you have good defensive players to trade.
