Rookies 1st Media Practice

when have i hoped for him to bust

 

Mett has legit supporters even into his 6th loss. He showed a few high end intangibles.

Mariota gets nut swingers by the hoards just from oregon.

 

i dont even know where to get straw fool

 

How much sinking are you willing to watch if that is indeed what really happens? 5-6 games or the entire season. I hope he succeeds now, because I really don't think a QB competition is going to take place. So if MM sinks, how long do you give him?

 

I'll give you fictitious stats for each week of the season and you tell me if you bench your QB during the season or let him play the year and go through his growing pains?

That would be a 3-13 season with roughly a 57% completion percentage, about 3700 yards, 26 TD's but 28 INT's. Do you let him play the whole season or maybe bench him after he starts 0-4 with 3 TD's vs 11 INT's? How much suffering do you accept from your rookie QB? Are you expecting him to be Russell Wilson in year one or let him go through his growing pains and stay with him hoping there is a light at the end of the tunnel (though no guarantee)???

 

Spoiler

you gave it away with the 3-13

but I agree. If you start MM you ride him unless he cant go

 

Mariota would have to play historically bad to not get two full years to see what he can do.

 

Yup, and while I don't see him being amazing, I don't think he'll be that bad, sure hope not anyway! Wouldn't have been my pick, but he's a Titan and I'll fully back him and hope for the best at this point.

 

If my QB is 0-4 with 11 INT's, his tail is sitting on the bench and maybe I am questioning the decision that I made to start him in the first place. However, I do see your point.
