Can't blame him for getting his money. The raiders screwed him out of his big payday so he had to take the bigger offer.

Staffold - evil offspring of Saffold and Stafford?

 

[OldSchool]

Last contract don't blame him at all for getting that final payday. And I think they'll be better than 6 wins if their QB is worth a damn.

The Titans have a good roster. They are just held back by the QB. Don't read to much into pre-season.

 

[CGI_Ram]

Yeah, they got some line issues in Tennessee.

Titans don't give Mariota or Tannehill much protection or help

Marcus Mariota is either ready for the regular season . . . or he's not.

Vrabel pulled Mariota early because line wasn't protecting him

Titans coach Mike Vrabel wanted to see quarterback Marcus Mariota complete a pass on Sunday night.

Titans coach Mike Vrabel wanted to see quarterback Marcus Mariota complete a pass on Sunday night. But Vrabel pulled Mariota from the game after just three attempts, none of which were complete.

The reason, Vrabel said after the game, was that the Titans’ offensive line wasn’t protecting Mariota, and the team didn’t want to risk an injury to its franchise quarterback.

“We want to make sure that we can protect our quarterback — that’s important,” Vrabel said. “It’s imperative that we do that as a staff and we do that as an offensive group. … I wanted to see how the game was going, and at that point in time I thought it was in the team’s best interest and in everybody’s best interest that we get him out of the game at that point in time.”

Mariota’s 0-for-3 stat line, not to mention getting sacked for a safety, doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence. With Mariota’s preseason now over, the Titans need to get their offense on the same page before Week One against the Browns.

We couldn’t afford to give him a contract that was anywhere close to what he was worth. Can’t blame the guy to leaving. I’m not sure we even tried to sign him since we had the younger, cheaper talent waiting already:

 

[12intheBox]

We don’t know if the Rams
Even made him any kind of offer, do we?

When I saw the thread title... I expected to open it up and find out that big Rodg sustained an injury of some kind.... with his named misspelled and all.

Staffold- Saffold--Stafford, evil offspring or "butt baby?"alm:

Mariota and Winston going in the first two picks of the draft is going to prove out to be a memorable fail.

I wish him well. We got the discount price on him last time because the Raiders had buyers remorse and had their doctor get them out of the deal. At least he got to play in a Super Bowl...

I don't remember it a discount. I remember the Raiders getting criticized for overpaying for him. And considering how often he got hut I thought the Rams went out on a limb abit.

Damn. Talk about lettin your dudes know you're pi$$ed off.

I watched UofO and OSU here every week. I thought Mariota had made a lot of improvements his senior year but still thought his game wouldn't translate. Of course I thought Joey Harrington would be a stud.... In my defense, he went to the Lions. Good luck with THAT.

I remember the Rams gave him an exit physical, which was A-OK. Raiders failed him on the physical, and then the Rams re-examined him and again rated him A-OK before he was re-signed. Saffold took the original offer from the Rams which he rejected for Oakland's deal. The Rams knew much more intimately than any other team what Saffold went through surgery-wise and his recovery, and so I don't see it as a risk at all.
