As Texan Fans, How Do You Feel About the Titans Taking Mariota?

If that was true, that's a *huge* offer. Very tempting, unless you feel Mariota is the guy, and obviously they do.

 

Then they would be the Texans, good but not great. It's a gamble on their part but the payoff is potentially much greater.

 

As a Texans fan I've got better **** to do than worry about the Titans making poor draft picks. Its already unbearable enough that I have to endure playing this team twice a year every single year on and on and on. The whole keeping an eye on your division bull**** has turned Jack into a dull boy.

 

Bills and Browns, too

 

Does it matter? I care about my own team.

 

I'm happy about it because I think it's just the Titans spinning their wheels. I'm not a fan of running QB's because they almost never work out long term.

 

Two guys barely old enough to drink as QBs in our division?

 

I have huge doubts about him as a pro QB so I'm ok with it. At the very least it forces them in a re-build phase because even if he does become a top tier qb I think it's going to take a few seasons.

 

Does Mariota even have a personality? He comes off as wooden and uncomfortable in any sort of interview setting. I don't see how a guy who is camera shy and hates the spotlight can be a successful NFL QB. The pressure and media exposure is part of the deal.

 

Dang Moe, you really don't like him! I think he's a little awkward but he will get used to the exposure and will become a decent QB. Not elite, but serviceable.

Not trying to disprove your point about being camera shy (because I mostly agree with it), but I also don't want my QB loving the camera and spotlight.

 

Luck is the only QB that will test us in our division.

 

Seattle is A road map. It's not THE road map. It just happens to be the one the Texans have chosen....or maybe had chosen for them, depending on how you want to look at it.

 

Mariota to the Titans shouldn't even move the needle in win results for them. They're trash on either side of the line of scrimmage. They've got no weapons on offense, and their defense is in shambles. He also doesn't fit Wisenhunts system, and even if they change their scheme to cater to Mariota's skill set, I'm not sure the coaching staff would be capable of making that a success.

The only team that is continually building the right way is the Jags. I don't think Bortles will be much better than Gabbert, but I do think Gus Bradley is doing it right. That defense is only going to get better with time. If they get to building an o-line and run game they'll give Bortles all the possibilities available to him to succeed.

The Titans, I feel have many more seasons as the bottom dwellers of this division. I don't think Wisenhunt is going to turn them around, nor do I think current ownership is headed in the right direction. They have holes all over.

The Colts have Luck, and with him they can get away with a lot. But they don't have an o-line or a rushing game. They have no defense what so ever. I felt like that had enough weapons offensively already, and yet they don't get a tackle or a d-lineman which were HUGE needs.

 

more fresh meat for JJ

 

I think it's THE road map if you don't have an upper-echelon/elite QB to build around.

 

Yeah, I don't know of many other ways to win without a top tier QB other than the way Seattle and Baltimore won, heavily leaning on defense and the run....in fact, if the Seachickens leaned a bit harder on the run game, they'd almost certainly be the reigning SB champs right now, but instead they chose to pass and so the Pats have it.

 

Kinda reminds me of Jake Locker. They tried turning him into a Pocket Passer, and for the most part it didn't work. Hopefully the same happens with Mariota.

 

I think Mariota is gonna be by far the best QB in this draft

 

^^^Simplistic answer with zero foresight.

Of course it matters... Titans are a division rival.
