Nabbs4u Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 So does Tannehill go full Nathan Peterman vs the Chargers or actually improve that offense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) I don't think we see big improvements... at least not sustained. Edited October 16, 2019 by Dome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not going to go Peterman. Tannehill doesn't suck. Honestly I'm not sure he's going to be much better or much worse than Mariota.

SteelKing728 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Mariota will probably go to Green Bay or the Rams next year as a backup. His days as a regular starter should be over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 He'll get his feet wet against the Chargers before we make him look like a Pro Bower next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His days as a regular starter should be over. Depending on his salary he might be Eagle TBH. Doubt either Studfeld or McCown stick around. It will be interesting though watching Mariota, Winston, Teddy and possibly even Foles playing musical chairs with the FEW teams that don't draft a QB in the top 10? Tua, Herbert, ect....

ET80 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 This actually worries me as a division rival. I don't think much of Tannehill, but I do think he's an improvement over Mariota - which is something that could push this team up the ranks, improved QB play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re screwed, our problems on offense run much deeper than QB. The playcalling is trash, the scheme is, well, not even a scheme, our OC doesn’t know how to make adjustments, our o-line is so far historically bad, and the receivers struggle to separate. And Vrabel is bad on top of it all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are referring just to historically bad for the Titans specifically, in which case I have no idea, so carry on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

43M Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Well, I mean, Chargers just lost to a team starting their 3rd string, rookie UDFA QB....so as long as the Titans can collapse the Chargers OLine...which isnt hard, Tannehill should be sufficient as long as he doesnt make crucial mistakes.

I don't think either of you understand how atrocious our o-line has been. We're on pace to give up 77 sacks. That's more than Derek Carr was sacked in 2002, and would be the most sacks allowed this century. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen a QB with as bad as internal clock as Mariota, he's literally got no sort of awareness in the pocket. Moving to Tannehill should immediately improve upon that figure. Not saying that your OL is good, but Mariota wasn't doing anyone up front any favors. You could clone Orlando Pace into five different guys ...and Mariota would still get sacked a lot.

You sure about that? Tannehill vs Denver: 16 attempts - 4 sacks Mariota vs Denver: 18 attempts - 3 sacks Mariota has his share of the blame, but that doesn't change the fact that the o-line has been historically bad up to this point. Maybe it's not as bad as Houston in 02, but that doesn't change the fact that it's performed as one of the worst o-lines in NFL history through 6 weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
