Please provide a quote of me saying Mariota hasn't progressed.

I think some people needed to pump their brakes after game one when they thought he'd be a Hall of Fame QB after 1 start or something but now that he has 12 games under his belt, we know what we have....and that is a franchise QB.

The OL has been killing this offense for years and until they fix it, our offense will be sporadic at best.

And Mariota not only takes his share of the blame, he takes on the responsibility of owning MORE than his fair share to protect his teammates. For instance, when Whiz was still coach and we were trying to come back and he threw a pass deep down the sideline to Kendall Wright but it got picked off. Mariota acted like it was his fault and said he had to be smarter with the football. But the reality of it was that he made the throw he was supposed to make but because Hunter ran the wrong route, his defender was able to come back and intercept the ball. If Hunter ran the right route, his defender is nowhere near the play and that ball is completed and the game likely has a different outcome. The ONLY reason we knew what happened was that KW explained the route combo to explain his part. He didn't even know Hunter had run the wrong route.

Another example is DGB in the Jags game getting hit in the hands with a pass he deflects into an INT. Does Mariota get on him? No, he just tells him to catch the next one and then throws that deep skinny post to him. DGB rewards him with a nice catch and run for a TD. Ask Mariota about the INT and he'll say something like he needs to place it better or he could have taken something off it. He always accepts blame even when he doesn't deserve it...and that's great leadership.

When we fix the OL, we'll know if we need a RB or not. WR's running the wrong routes, taking the wrong splits, etc, they deserve blame for that. Just as when Mariota makes a BAD throw or bad decision, he should take blame for that. But most fans don't really know when to blame a QB because if they see a pick, it's on the QB no matter the context.

Mariota has made a lot of progress this year and gotten a lot of necessary experience. Unfortunately, we won't really see his full potential until the OL is fixed and we have a solid run game unless we get a Josh McDaniels type of HC who can make this a truly mismatch offense.
