Here at Music City Miracles, we love Marcus Mariota. He’s dealt with bad offensive schemes, he’s overcome various injuries, and he has an upset postseason win against the Chiefs in his resume.
He may have thrown 13 touchdowns to 15 interceptions, but Mariota was still a huge reason why the Titans went back to the playoffs for the first time since 2008. The only thing working for him on offense was that the pass protection was good; The scheme and play calling were atrocious, the receivers couldn’t constantly create separation (and even when they did, there were drops galore), and the Titans had the audacity to keep DeMarco Murray as the starter over Derrick Henry when it was clear Henry was the superior back.
