This is why I cant be too tough on him for that 1st half. That shyt changes up a game plan.
However, the OC still has dudes running wide open so any QB would take that.
That is true but his passing is still garbage for certain routes. You can also see that he has more straight ahead speed. I argued with folks when Matt Jones came out that because he ran a 4.4 was not the same as a dude who ran a 4.4 but could change direction. It is like Vicks 4.2 it wasn't that he was fast it was he could maintain speed and change direction on a dime.....same with Barry Sanders.

Marcus Mariota speed is overrated and will not be a factor in the NFL.
