    There are much better videos of Mariota.

    That one highlights some the struggles hes going to have in the NFL.

    Was just pointing out how well he did in his first game, not on his best game or his worst.

    Im not a Mariota hater. He just has so much to relearn that I am pessimistic about him being able to. By everything I have read, I would give him better odds than most "spread QB's" I have come across. The transition is just so difficult that most cant make that jump.

    I would love to be proven wrong but just from what I have seen, we are getting a rookie in the biggest sense. He has a VERY long way to go.

    Alz listen man, if Moses could part the Red Sea, then Mariota can lead us to the promise land.

    All it takes is faith my friend, you just have to believe. Dig deep into the depths of that big red thing pumping in your chest and believe.

    Believe...

    I have to see something to believe. He will have all the chances in the world to show me something the next couple years.

    I watched everything I could find on him. I have not seen enough to make me believe.


    I like Mett. He can read defenses and had proven he can make those hard NFL throws. Even after reviewing him so much that i have some plays memorized, even he didn't get to the "convincing me" part. All he would have gotten us another year.

    It would help if I actually believed that this is the guy that Whiz wanted. I still believe this was a front office pick.


    Maybe I'm missing something. I'm definitely no better than anyone else with a set of eyes. I just have not seen it in Mariota.

    Regardless of system, the dude balled out of his mind and he apparently picked up the Oregon offense so fast, that's what helped him win the starting job.

    Atleast we didn't reach this time taking a garbage college QB expecting him to have better results in the pros again.

    Anybody know if his Instagram is real or not?

    He didn't have one, but as soon as he got drafted there was a Mariota account that was created and claimed it was real, but the 8 pics that were uploaded looked like it was taken with a potato.

    I commented saying "Is this account real? because it looks like the pics were taken with a potato"

    He blocked me lol

    really, this is the guy you want to be the face of our team???

    What starting position did Mett ever have to win??

    Mett was never and is not our future. Yea there is a good chance Mariota might fail, the odds are stacked against him, but im more excited about this upcoming season than I have the last 4.

    It's Mariota's time now, so sit back, get a nice cold beverage, some popcorn and enjoy the show.


    Worst that could happen is that he fails. On the bright side of that Whis and Co. would most likely be out the door with him.

    i dont care what stupid pictures they take if they are good.

    only people who dont see his talent are titans fans who have an overly emotional attachment to his starting record. if metts not in our future plans he will be elsewhere, and itll be very interesting to see the careers of mett and mariota unfold
