Quote:Uh yeah...  Have you seen the YAC his recievers get?  You see the explosion his RBs get on his scoring drives?  

 

Also, most of the successfull pass plays  frankensence&Myrhhiottas are 1st read throws.  He's not asked to go through progressions unless he scrambles.  I'm just calling it like I'm seeing it.  Yeah, he's doing well, but it's not because he's a top tier QB.  It's because most teams are only now getting their first look at him.  

 

Again, BB5 is asked to do ALOT for the Jaguars than what MM is asked to do.  He's being asked to be a game manager.  BB5 is asked to take the team on his shoulders.  That's a huge difference...  Just saying...

 

YAC: Actually Hurns has 1.5x the YAC of Tenessee's top option. http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/player...AfterCatch

 

RB: Well actually Tennessee doesn't have a more dependable running game. They average only 5 more yards a game on 1 more attempt. Same YPC.

 

WR: Thats a flat out distortion of facts. We have 2 top-15 recievers by yards; TEN's top option has been delanie walker NOT a WR. Delanie has 1/2 the TD's of both hurns and robinson.In terms of explosion, AROB is #1 in 20+ plays, Hurns is #6. Tennessee does not have anyone in the top 50.

 

Give mariotta credit where its due. He's making things happen with an inferior supporting cast. He is producing at a similar rate as Bortles with inferior recieving options, a similar running game and a better line.
