    One of the biggest issues I see with Mariota is that when the pocket starts yo collapse around him at all, he always seems to bail and run back and to the outside and never really makes a play on the run. He needs to learn to step up in the pocket and let those pass rushers run by him so if he needs he can take off up the middle. If he starts doin this it will help him with his passing and our entire offense because he will have a lot more opportunities to use his legs.

    I'm seeing way too much pressure coming up the middle leaving him no where else to go. I feel most teams take that approach so he'll stay contained.

    Beat me to it

    Pressure up the middle is too much to climb the pocket, he'd just walk into sacks if he did

    I dont know If I fully agree with that. Pressure comes from different angels not just the middle, but Mariota does a bad job sensing it at times goes into the pressure more often then not. He really needs to fix that. Wilson is a master at it, I believe he has been one of the most pressured QBs in the league.

    Hate to break it to you but Mariota isn't Wilson, and probably never will be. Mariota is too big and stiff to pull off half of Wilsons moves..

    Ppl like to classy mariota in the same category as Wilson and Tyrod Taylor as scrambling qbs but he just isn't that. That however doesn't mean Mariota has an issue feeling pressure in the pocket. I think not making many plays outside the pocket is by design.

    Wilson is probably the most elusive QB in NFL history. Probably a hot take, but I haven't seen anyone like him at avoiding pressure.

    It would be nice to compare Marcus to him and wish he could do that. But those are just intangibles he doesn't have.

    A lot of times mariota will leave the pocket way to early and roll out only to throw it away. He needs to step up and move around in the pocket and take off up the middle when things break down. That's not hard to do. Hell even locker and Vince could do that. Mariota just bails. He's an average game manager qb at best.

    Before you continue to talk out of your ass please show us the proof of Mariota consistently missing an opportunity to step up in the middle of the pocket to avoid pressure
