Actual former NFL head coach Rex Ryan weighs in on Marcus Mariota

Former NFL HC Rex Ryan is becoming a fixture in Nashville after being a constant presence at Nashville Predators games, but it is his praise for Marcus Mariota that has my attention today.

There are so many different ways to look at Mariota. You can look at the leader, the winner, the toughness, and the quiet leader whose teammates and those close to him seem to be drawn to him.

On the other hand you can look at the lack of statistical success, the injuries, the what ifs, and I guess the fact that he has been as successful or more successful than any of the other AFC South QBs since coming into the NFL, wait that last one isn’t a negative…

Anyway, the point is that after being one of the most genuinely beloved players in college football Marcus Mariota has become a polarizing figure.
