Are fewer passes better for Marcus Mariota, Titans?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- There is no steadfast formula for how much the Tennessee Titans ask Marcus Mariota to do, or for how much Tennessee regards as too much for its quarterback at this stage.

But in trading for DeMarco Murray, fortifying the offensive line and encouraging a smash-mouth attitude, the team sought to create a setting where the QB didn't always have to do it all for the team to win.

It's possible for him to be a supplementary ingredient rather than a primary one in a victorious formula.

Mariota has been part of six wins in 19 starts.
