  • Only a few of these are even mediocre. He’s a rookie and in most metrics he’s 2nd only to (presumably) Stroud.

    Against any and all NFL QB’s yeah he’s mid - but in 4 games with almost no preseason/early season reps homeboy’s already as good or better than Tannehill, and he’s getting killed even harder.

    Biggest drawback I see is him not being mobile even though he clearly can, but how can you blame him for not feeling a rush that’s coming from every side. The odds he’s going to get run down in the backfield if he doesn’t stand in there and fire are high, so you trade some late down efficiency for actually being able to get a play off.

    I think he’s been solid as fuck for a rookie. Had he started earlier in the season and had any kind of protection I think we’d have a duel for OROY between him and Stroud.

    The kid is special and I think we’re all just holding our breath to see if he takes the next steps or gets mud-stomped and loses his stuff due to freak injury. Wouldn’t be the first time that’s happened in the NFL by far.

    If that happens it really is Mariota 2.0 all over again. Let’s all hope it doesn’t.











  • It’ll be interesting to see what happens with Malik based purely on the fact that you can carry a 3rd QB now without eating a roster spot.

    He’s got 2 more years left on his rookie contract and he’s only costing us 1.2m per season. Even if we go out and sign a quality vet to back up Levis next year, Malik doesn’t really have to leave unless we really just need that extra 1.2 million.

    I doubt we keep him if we can get a good backup, and there’s still a chance he might go somewhere else and develop into a decent QB. He’s just not one now and that’s probably not happening here. Unless we get a dream draft that stacks the team with rookie talent leaving our cap space wide open again, he probably gets cut or traded next year.



  • I think a case could be made for Earl Campbell as the greatest Oiler ever. He’s definitely the face of the old franchise in most people’s mind.

    As for greatest Titan, it’s hard to pick between McNair and George, but it has to be one of those two for me. They’re basically a set, like salt and pepper shakers. Hard to imagine one without the other.

    McNair had an MVP, but George had an all-time beef with Ray Lewis and saved Derrick Henry’s career. I think I still give it to McNair. I’ve never seen anybody play quarterback quite the way he did. Cannon for an arm, country strong, and able to put the whole team on his back. He’s definitely the toughest SOB who’s played in the modern era, so nod to McNair.
