Their message board will be in meltdown over how they should have taken Mariota over Winston, and how they're doomed as long as Lovie if their head coach...

By no means did I expect these types of performances from them game one, but of the two, I always felt that Mariota would have been the better pick of the two QBs.

Opening drive for Winston in the second half - 2 sacks and ended needing to convert a 3rd & 42 - the guy doesnt look ready to start in the NFL. Poor footwork. Poor decision making. If they hope he's their guy, it's going to be a long time away. Even Blaine Gabbert was better in his first game...

The fact they passed on a guy who looks like a young Aaron Rodgers for a guy who looks like poo will only make their pain more enjoyable over the next decade or so.

Indeed. Mariota is looking good out there, and he is proving the analysts who questioned his ability to play from day one wrong.

And this game is making me wish I hadn't left Mariota and Sankey on my bench in favor of Tannehill and Miller! :( :D

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.

      If the Canes don't bring back Tyson Jost or Jack Roslovic, is Tanner Jeannot an option? https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2025/06/senators-expected-to-show-interest-in-tanner-jeannot.html
