falconsd56 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 The only thing that Mariota should have been throwing after that game was the Gatorade bottle to Ridder to make sure that he was hydrated at as he was working with the first unit. vitaman, Peteshweddy, Falcon fan 4 ever and 4 others 2 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Doktor Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Hard to grade any offensive player when your QB is at best ineffective. Frankly, all our receivers should get Mulligans. gazoo, TheUsualStuff, dyrtysouth2000 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazoo Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 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.

Falcons_Frenzy Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 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.

ATLskinjob Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 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. falconfreak1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.11 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 9 hours ago, JD dirtybird21 said: This is what we get for taking a TE at 4 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.

dirtybirds233 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) 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.

YungFalco Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Those twitter comments are horrible, like good lord, Pitts was great two years ago when he had a competent QB, but I guess they missed that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I think Koo could have kicked the ball to PItts more accurately than Mariota throwing it. Skin doc, ATL_CasinoNino, PokerSteve and 18 others 5 2 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
