He will go to Indy beat out Brisset. Have an offensive line and an OC only to win the division for 10 years straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole thing feels almost surreal to me that we're actually at this point of staring down the barrel of actually moving on from Marcus. I just never truly thought it would get to a point where everything pretty much imploded around him like it has, and he'd be struggling so much. I think there's still a good football player in him somewhere, but I feel like his tenure with the team has just been too tumultuous at this point. It's probably best for both sides to just move on and get a fresh start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTitan Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Gonna fall asleep watching this game and think of how this could have been the guy to give us years of happiness. I'll say it again. We bought a college Corvette and turned him into a NFL SUV/pick up truck. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTitan Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Watching this game. I'm convinced Marcus came in the league at the wrong time. If he would have come in now. A team would have put him in a spread like they have with Mayfield, Murray, Watson, Jackson Tribusky and Mahommes. But he came in and it was automatically can he play in a traditional NFL offense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
615finest Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Just a thought: Maybe just maaybbeee having Henry is holding Mariota back. Henry is a traditional runningback and isn’t effective running from shotgun. Clearly they want to run the offense through him.. Maybe if we got rid of Henry and got a running back that’s effective at running from shotgun(a true 3 down back).. Maybe we would cater the offense to Mariotas strength and the spread the offense out. Just a random thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a random thought So you actually want to get rid of one of the very few good players on offense to continue to cater to a bum? I understand what you’re saying about those two not working together either but you don’t get rid of one player just because the other sucks.

Just making an observation as to why the offense is the way it is and why we don’t play to Mariotas strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny though because I thought Ezekiel Elliott was the perfect back to complement Mariota back in 2016 draft. I definitely wasn't against drafting him before we signed Murray. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Anyone have directions to the all-you-can-eat crow buffet on Mariota? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans0021 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 If last night showed me anything, it’s that a lot of the problems Mariota has (certainly not all, and he certainly has plenty of problems) can still be fixed in an offense that fits his skill set. The dropping of his eyes and hesitancy to throw the ball more than 10 yards stopped once we went shotgun with our three best receivers on the field. He was willing to take shots into tight windows. Even the misses (thinking of the short throw to Humphries, underneath route to CD and back shoulder to AJ) were, at the very least, the right reads. He can be a competent, solid NFL quarterback when we play to his strengths. But he’s not a transcendent talent. He won’t have success in every system. And if the offense of the first 2.5 games is the way we want to play, yeah, we might as well bench him. Because playing a system that makes your quarterback uncomfortable and hesitant does nobody any favors.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
