Marcus Mariota Looking "Better Than Expected" at OTAs

[LT Profits]

Maybe his transition from the Oregon offense to the NFL will go smoother than many (if not most) predicted?

Marcus Mariota reportedly impressed with his "arm strength and confidence running the offense" at OTAs.

Beat writer Jim Wyatt admits Mariota has been "better than I thought he would out of the gate." Added Wyatt, "He's not yet close to embarrassing himself." It's good news for a quarterback the Titans are pulling out of Oregon's spread offense. Mariota will offer low-end fantasy QB1 upside if the coaching staff builds a system that minimizes his weaknesses and amplifies his strengths. Of course, you could've won a lot of money betting against Ken Whisenhunt the past few years. Whisenhunt is 3-25 over his last 28 games as an NFL head coach.

Safe to say the Zach Mettenberger era is over in Nashville.

Was pretty well done as soon as they decided not to trade the #2 pick

[Auto Donk]

can't stand anyone coming out of lsu..... glad to see the guy run outta the league

[Wrigley]

its amazing how many reports come out of OTA that players are doing above normal never here any on how they suck

[Cross]

Potential such a stupid word.

[mpaschal34]

That franchise is jinxed....therefore he will be a bust.

Why bother posting something about a local beat writer who is basically saying Mariota isn't worse then what they already had. OTA and Minicamp reports are as useless as they come, wait till they get on the field. BTW LOL at his being a low end QB 1, who ever said that has no E'fing idea about FF, Mariota will finish stat wise 20-32, That's not a QB1 it's a low end QB 2...

Wait until he gets hit

Who was Jacksonville's QB last year? I thought he was young and showed some promise on a bad team.

[Otters27]

I don't think Mariotta will be a bust. You can count of him to work hard and stay out of trouble. Plus he has good football IQ

[ramones951]

I guess standard coachspeak is newsworthy now. Don't worry LT, rotoworld.com works for us too!

Blake Bortles was a dumpster fire in his rookie year.

I doubt much was expected from him at all.

Blake Bortles was a dumpster fire in his rookie year.

Look who was on his team offensively: no one. He had 1 decent receiver (Shorts), and a some really shitty running backs.

Wisenhunt's QB's stay in the pocket, I'll be curious if he forces Mariota to stay in the pocket, if that is the case he won't come close to sniffing those running yards, MAYBE TD's, but IDK yet, would need to see him play, so i wouldn't touch any future stat bets..

That's about where i would have them

From what I have read they are trying to cater offense more to Mariotas strong points
