He's not as good as Mahomes but who is? Look at Geoff when he was under Fisher we all thought he was bad. Mariota took a team that had won 5 games over 2 seasons and won a playoff game in his 3rd year, and with not a lot of supporting cast. Dude has heart, it was his stiff arm on the Jaguars that got him into the playoffs and it was a block by him that helped seal the playoff win against KC. The game against Houston he had 1 incomplete pass and 2 TD's and they still got blown out, that's crazy. In the words of TO " That's my Quarterback  " |
Being the best QB out of a bad bunch doesn't mean you're good. Again, none of the things you're saying aren't things you couldn't also say about a handful of other average QBs who had various flashes in the pan during their careers. The numbers are the most objective way to look at a player, and the numbers say Mariota is below average in most passing categories.
