So he could shadow box them on the sidelines? Why not have a tablet like every other backup and work on the game and be helpful. Not stand there like a moron just listening to plays.
Lol. I don't know what he was doing or thinking. It was Just a guess.
It really is a good guess because I am sure that is what he would say if asked, but every other clipboard backup uses headphones.
Always assumed Mary wore his helmet because he didn't want people to see his face.
Yea thats what I thought the whole time whenever he did that
Why not just grab a headset like a normal backup QB?
For some reason I really dont like that the first thing people that know him personally say about him is how great of a guy he is.
I wouldnt say that about anyone I hold close to my heart or just respect as a person. Id describe why theyre great people. Like they make me laugh or they get the hob job done. Or they live up to their word, or something else besides "hes such a great guy".

I think "great guy" pretty much implies a bunch of things --- humble, considerate, reliable, thoughtful, unselfish, etc.
Your examples don't make people "a great guy" in my opinion. In fact, if you were asked about someone and responded with your answers (what is a hob job?), I would assume you were being polite and thought they were a total crapbag.
Yea I dont really try to be humble on purpose so..
Do you describe ppl as great guys?
Not on purpose, but probably.
But if I was asked about someone that I think is a total piece of garbage, I'd describe them with one of your examples.
"What do you think about my boyfriend?"
"He seems to be good at his job."
"So do you like him?"
"Uhhh, he makes me laugh."
Why would you take that stance on people you dont care for?
Someone asks me about so and so and I dont like them Id just tell you Im not a fan.
There is no reason to upset someone if your opinion doesn't really make any kind of difference.
Situation matters but in general, I do this too.
I think Mariota was a pretty shy person which is why he wore the helmet. He pressers seemed to coincide with that too.
Doesn’t make him any less a “great guy” just the unfortunate truth is being a great guy doesn’t do much for the profession.
Interesting tidbit from PFF : On passes that were thrown 20 or more yards downfield, Jackson has allowed just 12 of his 48 targets to be completed, with 22 forced incompletions mixed in.
Meanwhile, AJ gets a top 10 rank...

Michael Thomas, Tyler Lockett among 10 best pass-catchers of '19
Catch rate: 61.9%. Expected catch rate: 54.7%. Difference: 7.2%.
A breakout rookie who too often was overlooked nationally, Brown ripped up defenses with his combination of size and speed. Remember Ryan Tannehill's league-leading passer rating? He can thank Brown for much of that, as Tannehill and Marcus Mariota compiled a combined passer rating of 127.6 when targeting Brown, the best mark of any of these pass-catchers. Teams afforded him 5.3 yards of cushion off the line on average, but they also learned that pressing Brown can get them beat, too. The receiver faced the third-highest press rate (38.3 percent) of these 10 pass-catchers, yet still managed to catch 52 passes for more than 1,000 yards. In fact, defenses blanketed Brown, who faced a greater tight-window percentage than any of these 10 players at 33.3 percent of all targets. He was only open on 25 percent of targets and rarely wide open (9.5 percent), helping explain his positive catch-rate difference. Brown won with size, strength, drive and desire in 2019. He's going to be a nightmare for opposing defenses in the years to come.

Is anyone on this site still in the Mariota train?
pretty sure the Oregon fans have already shut down their accounts here and moved to LV.

Honestly, until things pick back up... who can say for sure.
I hope some of those bandwagon fans stay on for the team, itself... that's how you build a fanbase.
Thats not the point. He isnt a good player that DOES NOT mean he isnt a likeable or a respected guy. Again he claimed that you cant call someone nice just because his time here was not that good. That takes nothing away as far as how good of a person Marcus is. Also, theres still alot of people who wish Marcus was still a Titan and theres still alot of people who believe in his potenial [wich I dont and it sucks because I thought he was throwing dimes in 2016], and had potenial to be a good starting QB in the league.
I suppose chance warmack, bishop sankey, Zach mettenberger, or the countless other guys not good enough to keep could have been nice guys too.
Just don’t see any defense of them like you are with Mariota.
