    Besides, Mariota is being coached up by THE BEST!

    Mularkey is a QB Whisperer!

    Jason Michael coached the powerhouses Chad Pennington and Kellen Clemmons! That one season... over 10 years ago...

    Oh ****...

    Or just a good run from a decent QB ala 2012 Ravens. Their D was around 10 for the year which is good but I wouldn't consider them "elite" and Flacco that year had 3800 yards 22 TD/10 INT. Again, better than average by a little but not what I would call "elite". He just had a great run at the right time and nothing about that roster really stood out as all-time greats but they were able to put it together for 1 year and win the trophy.

    This is possible for just about any team. My point in general is that too many people put a SB trophy entirely on the QB for some reason when that is only a piece of the puzzle and there absolutely DO NOT have to be "elite" (which separate argument, gets tossed around waaaay too much) and the D does not HAVE to be elite, just good.

    I've yet to see a bad defense win the trophy but I've seen more than a handle full of marginal QB's at least make it to the SB and a few win.

    Right, but in order to win consistently you have to have an elite QB. And that should be the ultimate goal. Winning one Super Bowl is nice, winning multiple Super Bowls is the measure of true greatness.

    I know this was probably meant to be rhetorical but their running game wasn't particularly great.

    Hillman 863 and 7 TD
    Anderson 720 and 5 TD

    As a team they ranked 17th in yards, 12th in TD rushing.

    Either way, they had to be good when it mattered to make up for their terrible QB play.

    As a matter of fact, when looking that up, I thought I would see much better numbers but that only proves how really, REALLY good that Defense was.

    I didn't say it was ALL execution and not scheme or coaching.....just those specific things I listed. I said the scheme is far from perfect.
    Rams turnaround explanation?.......I don't watch enough of them or know the team well enough to give any answer other than a guess....and saying "all coaching" is any easy way to do that. I do know that Goff had the deer in the headlights look last season. He would have had that no matter who the coach was. He progressed better and faster than Mariota. At least enough to look that way....he went from gawd awful to good. He had no where to go but up.

    My point is that realistically......everyone should have seen last year that, even with improvement, we were a couple of years away.

    Disagree on multiple fronts here.

    A) I just pointed out the 2015 Broncos and 2012 Ravens that the QB does NOT have to be elite to win.
    B) The ultimate goal is to win THIS year. Doesn't matter what year it is, THIS year is the one that matters. As a fan, sure I want to win more than one, but they have to win one to work at getting to two.

    I agree. But I don't think he is "told" to lock onto Davis.
