I am referring to the franchise in General. They screw up fan relations, drafted Mariota, hire a Coach that has an awful record, a inexperienced GM, draft a WR from the MAC with a top 5 pick. It's entertaining to say the least.
That poster rips the Titans for everything possible even when, clearly, it's patently wrong. I think Mariota is really good but if he's not someone's cup of tea for some reason, whatever. By the way what a coincidence that a Pac 12 "running" QB in Locker flopped and was replaced by another Pac 12 "running" QB. (That was the biggest myth of that draft class/college season, the idea that Mariota was a running QB.) Wonder where the bias comes from? If people want to hang onto Mike Mularkey's past records (even though the best QB he ever previously had is Ryan freakin Fitzpatrick) then, fine I guess. I disagree with the premise but if someone thinks a small school player shouldn't be drafted that high, I can understand the thought. Where I "draw the line" and stop giving credibility to someone is when they hate on Jon Robinson. It's just lazy. He's "inexperienced" but he has immediately turned the franchise around with aggressive and productive moves. And I'm sure it's no coincidence that he spent years in New England being one of 5 or 6 people personally handpicked by Belichick to be in the Patriots draft room on a yearly basis. He was single-handedly responsible for drafting Gronkowski. Anyway, ripping the GM just seems lazy and uninformed.
Most comparisons were to Johnny Football before the draft.
Their systems were similar in college, so they played the relatively same style (although Manziel ran for as many yards in two seasons as Marcus did in three, so advantage Mariota) but it's wildly obvious Mariota is a far superior actual football player. Very little comparison to be had after the college days ended. Marcus fumbles quite a bit but other than that he has progressed in just about any way you could ask a young QB to do. Pretty laughable.
Well a lot of people were questioning the pick when it happened but now it seems just about all of them have accepted that it was the right one.
I'm only barely conscious of the NFL's existence and even I know that this is a ludicrously absurd comparison.
Yes there is!!
If by "just showing improvement" you mean showing undeniable improvement, then sure. If by "that they want to win" you mean hiring an in-demand GM that turned down other teams before signing with the Titans and then implementing his Patriots mindset into the organization by doing things like letting go of guys who don't buy in like DGB and Kendall Wright, sure.
I was going to ask why the Preds seem to get a pass and the Titans don't
