Damn. Marcus Mariota had a bad day.

10 completed passes. Sacked 11 times. He’s excused if he doesn’t buy his OL Christmas gifts this year.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

11? Whoa. The record for team sacks in a game is 12.

That’s a bad O line stat but Mariotta isn’t the answer. He is terrible. We have drafted so badly at the QB position. Locker>Mariotta

And it makes it worse when you look at all the high draft picks TN has spent on OL and receivers for the last 5 years.

Whatever the case, I think Mariotta has a place in the league, but I’m not sure it’s as a starting QB. He has serious trouble staying healthy, and even when he does, he’s just never seemed to be able to take advantage of his physical strengths. He’s quick, but he doesn’t make particular good use of his speed, and he’s got a decent arm, but he has serious trouble with accuracy.

This offseason, the front office is gonna have to decide whether they’re going to prepare for another direction or double down. Personally, I’d cut bait

 

[TBone.sixpack]

I’d cut bait too. He is usually good for 7-14 points for the opposing team. We have serious issues on offense. They are hard to watch.

You can add the Titans to the list of teams that might make a run at Dak after 2019 if he doesn’t re-up with Dallas. They are gonna suck hard next year too, no matter who the QB is. That line is still likely to be a huge question mark, and they have no weapons whatsoever in the passing game outside of Corey Davis. Walker will likely be gone too, and Dion Lewis will also be 29 years old with a fairly extensive injury history so he may be gone too.

So, they might as well roll one more year with Mariota and Gabbert and let the chips fall where they may. Get their QB in free agency or in the 2020 draft, focus on improving the OL and sprinkle in position players between now and then.
