Instant analysis of Marcus Mariota agreeing to terms with Raiders

March 17, 2020 by Titans Wire Leave a Comment

On Monday night, the Las Vegas Raiders and Marcus Mariota reportedly agreed to terms on a contract, ending his tenure with the Tennessee Titans.

While Mariota certainly had his fair share of struggles in Nashville, there is reason to hope that things can get better with the Raiders in Las Vegas.

Let’s break down why this was the right move for both sides.

What happened in Tennessee?

There are several answers to this question.

On top of dealing with injuries and not having a lot of talent around him for much of his career, the Titans also saw a revolving door at head coach and offensive coordinator during his five-year tenure. That’s a difficult thing to overcome for any young quarterback.

It really wasn’t until 2019 that Mariota had his best supporting cast, and even then his offensive line performed as one of the worst in the NFL in the six games he started.

It also didn’t help that Mariota held on to the ball for too long and missed some easy throws, which only exacerbated his problems before getting benched.

Overall, Mariota just looked like he had lost his confidence and simply wasn’t the same signal-caller we saw in his first few seasons in the NFL. We’ll see if a change of scenery helps to change that.

Next: Will Marcus Mariota start?
