Baltimore D was savage today against Tennessee...a week after Mariotta looked bad against us, he looked worse against Baltimore...10 completions, 11 sacks, 0 points. At home no less.

 

I dont know what has caused him to regress so badly the last two years but he is becoming a marginal at best starter in the NFL now...

He sucks.  Bust.  Etc...

 

Maybe but how did he play relatively well for 2 years?? If you are going to be a bust as a QB it usually happens from the start not starting in your 3rd year...

Has he ever been good? I don't know, from my lazy eye test he has always been bad to average. 

 

He is in that Tannehill class. Good enough to waste years on, but not good enough to win anything.

First 2 years he threw 45 TDs against 19 INTs.  Last season plus first 6 games this year he has 15 TDs against 19 INTs. 

 

That is a pretty terrible turnaround. Same number of INTs, 30 fewer TD passes.

You're right. Those numbers the first two years are way better than I expected.

He looked pretty decent early on.  Better than I expected.  I think the injuries have gotten to him over the years.  Just can't seem to stay healthy.  Wears you down mentally.

This has always been my take on him, too.  I would add Bortles into that same group, and maybe Winston, too.  They are just good enough that their teams can not afford to let them walk, but they always come up short in actual games.

While we’re on the topic of grossly overrated qbs, how about Deshaun Watson? Looking like his shooting star is coming down to earth a bit.

 

Watson will be fine. He sucked yesterday in the 2nd half but the Texans offensive line makes the Bills line look all worldy. He still made some nice throws yesterday - but ultimately the Bills hassled and rattled him and forced him into mistakes because they got there so often.

 

On Mariota - he is playing hurt at the moment. The plan was to sit him then the backup got hurt and he is back in. His confidence has really dipped the last 12 months. His first two years he had the best redzone numbers in the entire league..... but a combination of low confidence, poor receivers, a stalled running game and a succession of injuries have really worn him down.

The need for quality OL men is getting scary.

 

Yep. The standard of OL around the league is frankly atrocious. The number of teams that don't have a need on the offensive line can be counted in single digits.

I think you'll end up seeing Derrick Carr and Dak Prescott in that group too.

Let's develop our QB by hiring a defensive minded Head Coach......

 

Mariota is a good QB, but much like us has nothing but quality defensive coaches surrounding him.
