The very best of Mariota to 4th overall bust Kyle Pitts


Recommended Posts

If you attended games in person you would have seen Pitts running wide open down field all game. This video only shows the times Mariota actually saw him, but for each of these times there were 2 or 3 that Pitts didn’t have a defender within 3 yards of him down field.

It’s was disgusting when I realized just how bad it was. If you just watched games on TV you wouldn’t have noticed it.

It's just people who still believe JF should have been the pick or the ones that want to use hindsight to take Parsons.

Mariota should be shunned by the league for bailing on the Falcons. His terrible play should be enough but as we all know some desperate team will sign him.

Our season could have legit looked way different if Mariota had hit on about 50-60% of those passes. Those were all big time plays with scoring potential. And then when you look at our record and see how many of those games were one score games....

Whoever we end up with at QB (fingers crossed for Ridder), can instantly give this team a huge boost if they can hit the deep shots with some more consistentency.

Oh, and for the "AS can't scheme anybody open" and "AS can't call a passing offense" crowd...

Mariota couldn't even hit Pitts on a WIDE TF OPEN shallow crossing route on TWO separate occasions. I know for a fact that Ridder can at least make those throws, because I've seen MyCole Pruitt catch and run with those routes when Ridder was playing. Now imagine Pitts who can run a 4.4 completing those routes from Ridder with an ocean of space in front of him. I remember Julio used to run those routes for 75-yard TDs when Shanny was in Atlanta.

Don't remember the game, but there was one where Mariota was missing just about everything. He missed a wide open out route to London and London had a hard time hiding his annoyance. Threw his arms up and slapped his legs with a blank stare and just walked off. 

Here's a mind blowing stat: nearly 40% of London's yards and 35% of his receptions came from just the 4 games when Ridder was the QB. Mariota was that bad.

Sorry? Whatever humor you see in that **** completely escapes me. 🙄

i gotta admit, in the context of them showing the clips one after the other, I too found it so ridiculous and inexcusable that all I could do was laugh.
