    Can you explain why mariota has been much better in up tempo with 3wr sets as opposed to 2wr sets then? If he's struggling with the simplicity why is that he finds success more often with more routes, options and a quicker pace?

    He can't put up any yards on IR. Remember last year? He's barely been touched this year. We have been in every game, and only lost a few because of his turnovers. The scheme didn't cause that. We have won 3 of the last 4, and had the lead against the Colts with 2 minutes to play. We not only protect MM, but we run the ball which eats up the clock and helps keep our defense (or lack of) off the field. This will all come together eventually. When we get a lockdown defense that can bail us out of TO's then we can turn MM loose. He will be more mature next year and we will have a better defense. In two years we should have a very competitive team. ESPN is a joke. We are doing what is best for the team and MM right now. When people complain about MM others say he is a rookie. When he has a decent game then people start saying we aren't using him right. Can't have it both ways.

    You're back a little early after a win, way to quote the entire article.

    im saying this article is dumb because our offense isnt and shouldn't be designed to maximize mariotas fantasy value but to maximize the chances of us winning actual football games. And im here win or lose child please

    Wow i had no idea ppl would discredit an entire article because fantasy football was mentioned. It still correlates with real life. Its the same thing as bringing up stats to prove a point. Its not always going to paint an accurate picture of what actaully happened but often times it does. In this case an assessment of our style of offense which creates smaller opportunities for Mariota to maximize his abilities is about right.

    We only win when Mariota plays great. We have lost a few games with great performances from our RB
