Marcus Mariota is Terrible

The Browns Board

  • Dumbass.

    Titans were not willing to listen to trade offers.

    He was not available - it doesn't matter what the Browns would have offered.

    If you think otherwise, you're wrong. Deal with it.

  • I would have loved to get Mariota, But like they said, it was impossible.

  • He clearly wouldn't have helped the Browns.

    Clearly. You guys are geniuses.

    One guy dude, let it go. You're starting to sound like a lot of the other posters around here.

  • If he plays like that all year I will sack up and admit I was wrong. We should have tried to trade the farm so to speak. There should be plenty in line with me if he continues to play at the level he showed today.

    In the all important dress rehearsal game #3, didn't we score 17 against the Bucs one half?

  • I think the point is: if you're Tampa right now you have to be wondering. They're booing Winston who looks like he needs time to develop. I thought Mariota would be the project and Winston the more NFL ready. Wrong!

    No matter: both these guys will be fine.

    As for us: Manziel will need to play before I say anything. I need to see more.

  • Wow, Mariota hung 42 puts on the Bucs.

    Aren't they the defending Super Bowl champs?

  • I remember hearing the same about RG3 from Skins fans.

    It's pretty dumb to create a thread like this based on one game.

    You need to see more? Let me tell you how it will go, standing in the pocket for about .3 seconds cause he can't see over the line, a bunch of fumbles cause he thinks holding the ball with one hand is good enough, toss in a few interceptions and that's a world class performence for ole Johnny Cocaine

    Tampa blows. We'll see how he does against our shitty defense next week.

    You're an idiot. He was about the only bright spot today.

  • I don't pretend to know what this post means, but last I looked the Titans took Marcus with the 2nd pick of the draft, which they and they alone possessed. Are you saying that the Browns should have offered an RG3 / Ricky Williams like bounty to jump up to #2 to take the QB?

    Not sure what Marcus has to do with the Browns.

    The point is less that we could have gotten him and more that an overwhelming majority here believed him to be a gimmicky QB who wouldn't translate to the NFL.

    The reason for this shitty "evaluation" was based more on what RG3 couldn't do rather than what Mariota could.

    So, all in all, the point is that most people here are shit evaluators.

    Fair enough

    Sure did beat us, though.

    And the likes of Rodgers, Stafford, Flacco, Brees, Roethlisberger and Newton weren't able to drop 4 TD's on them last year...they must all be schlubs too.

  • Before we anoint Marcus as the next Montana, let's all remember the image of RG3 sitting on his butt with both hands in the air holding 1 finger up, on his opening day debut....... Seems like a lifetime ago - ask a Skins fan.

    I like Marcus (I'm a SoCal UCLA Pac 12 guy) and would guess that I have seen him play as much as anyone on this forum, but lets wait for maybe 8 or 9 quarters of ball before we bronze his statue.

    why?......when we can all over react and lose our minds before game 1 is even over????..(not pickin at u D, just using the quote)

    Honestly find it unbelievable how people react instantly when someone has "a" good game or "a" bad game.....

    Should just cancel the season and start the playoffs today since we now know who is great and who sucks....

  • RG3 played a hell of a first year too... And now he is playing safety for the scout team.

  • tim couch is now putting his money behind conner cook i bet.

    right couch?

    then when he blows he'll just pull his neck and hands back from the ground and disappear like a fart in the wind.

    brandon weeden? red headed gun-slinger? LOL.

  • Let's all admit, if Mariotta had played his first game for the browns like he did with the Titans, everyone would have woke up with with dreams last night.

    I never put my money behind Weeden. And I won't put anything behind Cook until I see what he does this year.

    But I did put my money behind Mariota, and he looked awfully damn good yesterday. As I said before, just because he ran in Oregon doesn't mean he can't throw in the NFL.
