Quote:Marcus looked like garbage against Oakland. He needs to learn to protect the ball. We get Walker and Wright back this week, so hopefully he bounces back. When Amaro (who???) is your leading receiver, you know the receiving corps is [BAD WORD REMOVED].
Sorry I didn't reply sooner.
My take on Tennessee when watching them against the Vikings and Lions is they have good complimentary WRs ( not to mention Delanie Walker at TE ) but they lack a # 1 type of WR.
Though I don't expect them to draft a WR in Round 1 because of GM Jon Robinson's background in the Patriots organization ( the Patriots haven't drafted a WR in Round 1 since Bill Belichick became their HC in 2000 ), I do believe this is a position they will look to upgrade in the 2nd or 3rd Round next year. With the attempt to find the 2017 version of Allen Robinson or some other type of WR with true # 1 WR potential.

Agree. We need a Robinson/Hopkins type of player and agree that it will be addressed next year.

Osweiler appears to have reached his ceiling, and that's at a level decidedly below the other AFC S quarterbacks. As we move forward the real debates will probably center around Mariota vs Osweiler as the league's scrub qbs, and Bortles vs Luck as the league's top qbs. Like Henne, Osweiler is really a career backup qb although unlike Henne he's being paid to start. He's prone to throwing INTs as it seems he'll simply never quite figure out how to avoid them. Bortles has been throwing his fair share of INTs as well, but at least with him there's hope that he's simply still young and will get better. Osweiler can also be streaky with his accuracy and at times can become erratic.
Quote:This is my favorite part.
If Osweiler is close to as bad as Henne.... I'll be happy the tinhorns made yet another boneheaded move.
But hey, eventually having Watt on your roster will get ya a ring... amirite?
May not get us a ring, but it helps to sweep you guys.... every year.
None of us are deluded in thinking Osweiler is a franchise QB, regardless what he's getting paid. He's getting paid the way he is, because our coach thinks he can make Osweiler a franchise QB. Some of us thinks it's a no brainer, most of us are in "wait & see" mode.
Osweiler is not a finished product. He started his NFL education with Denver, now he's with us for his masters. We'll see how it works out at the end of the year, when y'all are watching & waiting for us to screw up in the play offs..... amirite?

2013 tinhorns were swept by us... so theres that.
None of the tinhorn fans think Osweiler is a franchise guy? REALLY? haha, ok.
Osweiler has been in the league for a few years... if he isn't finished, he's pretty darn close to being what he will be.
I can tell I hit a nerve...
maybe in your back?
get your broom ready I suppose.... see if Brocky boy can sweep without your tinhorn MVP.

That's cute. I'm glad sweeping the Jaguars makes you feel good about yourself, maybe in another half decade you guys will be ready to score a point against Alex F. Smith and co.
And your front office gave dude a 70 plus million dollar contract. You and I may not be deluded, but your decision makers sure seem to be.

I remember my first beer...
Brock Osweiler is the worst QB in the division. He is god awful.
Man the clots/tacks/tinhorns are all very sweepable this year...

As an avid Eminem hater...
Ms. Mary Cheetosah played pretty darn well yesterday.
I'm still having trouble getting a good read on mariota. He will have horrible games where you want to look away, then games like yesterday where he genuinely looks the part.
Games like yesterday are why fans are excited about MM. We just need him to string together 3 or 4 games like that.

Yeah when he tears it up in dual threat running and passing he looks pretty good.

As a Jacksonville fan I hope not.
As a football fan in general, I'm happy when a kid like Mariota succeeds. He seems humble and hard working and wants to play the game to win. He's the opposite of Cam and I welcome that

That's key isn't it. I do not like MM, but be had an extremely good game yesterday. They didn't ask him to do much, but when they did, he performed to near perfection. It pains me to say it.
However, this is only 1 game. Like you said, lets see if he can string a few together.
On a side note, how awful is Miami????

Nothing really horribly wrong with their D...our O line just played lights out. Their O line is decimated and the Titans took full advantage.

Osweiler seriously stunk up the field in Minnesota. Mariota had the highest qb rating, although he threw for a mere 163 yards which is a new low this year for the AFC S qbs. Overall, Bortles and Mariota's stats are incredibly similar with the main exception being that Marcus started one more game.
Thanks for keeping this updated. Interesting to follow.

I do appreciate watching this as well. It will be interesting to see how it unfolds, especially if Mariota can string together some good games and Blake can remedy his early struggles as well.

Anyone else think Bortles' stat line looks weird?
