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.
