Roch Jim Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Watching this game today gave me such a sense of déjà vu. Marietta is Tyrod 2.0. I liked Tyrod, really appreciated that he was a gamer. They're both mobile, capable of avoiding sacks and running. They are both careful, maybe painfully so, to avoid turnovers. Neither had a strong arm, and neither seems capable of 4th quarter comebacks. They are .500 qbs., which can be fools gold . Buffalo finally realized that to make a leap forward they had to cut ties. Wonder if Tenesee will reach theat conclusion as Mariotta's contract comes up next spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Mariotta is not afraid to throw to receivers that are not "college open." Tyrod wouldn't make a lot of throws that Mariotta did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuckyBoys Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 very close Titans keep spending draft capital on talent around Mariotta but he's just a mediocre qb who needs things to go just right to win. Most of their smarter fans figured it out a few years back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I did not like Tyrod, he did have a strong arm and his deep passes were right on the money sometimes. His problem is that he played his game to safely and way too conservative. But I think that’s because of the way he was coached and Rex Ryan trying to be Lou Saban by committing to the ground game too much. And trying to have tyrod be joe Ferguson and constantly hand off to Lesean. We should’ve moved on from him in 17 he was terrible that year I think he only threw for 2,000 and had only 12 TDS , thank god McCoy still had enough juice in the tank and that are defense showed up that year. But I can definitely see the comparison with the 2 although Mariota has had an INT problem his last 3 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo44 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 No, the comparison is not even close. Taylor was a God awful pathetic loser of a quarterback. Mariota has shown much more than that during his time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincec Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Why? Because neither one throws many interceptions? Mariota is certainly better than Taylor and they don't really play much like each other, IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tell them go back and re watch footage of that season. We made it because of McCoy and our Defense and Andy Dalton I don't understand the fixation, but to each their own. It seems a bit....weird. Tyrod was a QB who's play regressed as his speed slipped and teams figured out how to gameplan against him. Definitely not a guy you want starting long term. Other than that, he was a decent bridge QB for the Bills and was at least competent. For different reasons, Ryan Fitzpatrick isn't a long term starter, yet the sentiment seems to be the polar opposite. Again. Seems odd, but I'll leave it at that. The Bills are 4-1 with their only defeat a 6 point loss against the Pats in which they had a chance to win. That's where my focus is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilton Bills Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I really don"t get this thread. Comparing Marcus Mariotta (1st round draft pick starting qb) to Tyrod Taylor (not sue of later round pick and not sure if in the league) Hello.... no comparrison. Replace the name bar on your jersey to Barkley and get over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norcalbillsfan Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Mariotta is the exact reason I'm still a little hesitant to go all in and say Allen as our franchise. The titans thought they had their guy no question he just had to clean some things up and develop. And they absolutely love him in Nashville, class act and hard worker. But he seems like the tyrod curse, just good enough but nothing more. And in my opinion that's worse than a flat out bust with your #1 pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't help when you replace speed with bigger, slower WRs who does not fit what the QB does well which was the long ball. Team was not built to QB's strengths as he was never going to be the long term answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've invested in receivers.. in the line... running backs.. etc. Not to say that they have all been hits - but that offense is consistently stuck in the mud.

Mariota is basically the worst case scenario. At this point in their respective careers, they were roughly equal. Allen has a much higher ceiling, but a lower floor. Mariota hasn't progressed much at all(if any). If Allen doesn't improve, he'll basically be Mariota. There's a chance Allen will improve, and we've already seen that Mariota will not. Would make no sense to prefer the guy who's proven he won't get better. Edited October 8, 2019 by LSHMEAB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCofNC Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I'd say its more like Mariota = Tannehill and I'd say there were more highs with Tannehill. Mariota is similar to Tyrod in that he is a mediocre starter that will move to a bridge/bench role sooner than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
