Yeah I get it, we're fans and the first thing we do is overreact. Mariota is a hall of famer and Jameis is Jamarcus Russell. If it were the other way around, we'd be praising Jameis as the messiah. But let's take a step back here and analyze what really happened. Mariota was very accurate, and executed his quick passes to perfection. The Titans gameplan was reminiscent of the Patriots scheme, and it completely worked. Nothing bad to say about a good gameplan that emphasizes its player's strengths, Tom Brady is a legend because his skillset is perfect for that system. On the other side, Jameis clearly made mistakes. His pick six was completely on him, no excuses, rookie mistake. It's clear the lack of protection has been in his head since the preseason and he's panicking, pre-emptively scrambling from the pocket and making throws off his back foot. He's a pocket passer by nature, he needs a secure pocket to operate from. Peyton or Brady would have had similar struggles (albeit no pick six first throw of the game). Once Jameis settled down he was clearly adapting, that pass to Seferian-Jenkins was quick in the face of a blitz, he stood in there and delivered. Jameis needs to learn how to navigate the pocket better under pressure, but the playcalling should be quick throws/screens to compensate for our crap offensive-line. He will be fine, let's accept the fact that he's a rookie and let him grow.The completely unacceptable part of this game was the pathetic play of the defense and absolute lack of concentration (ie penalties). I mean really we've had Lovie for his second year now, with quality talent on defense. Giving up 42 points to a rookie quarterback is f***king embarrassing for a so-called defensive coach who has been in this league for years. I don't care that the offensive scheme was different. Adapt. Look at film during the game and adjust you're playcalling. That's what coaches do. 42 god damn points. Also those penalties killed us, constantly starting from 1st and 15 or 2nd and 20 is atrocious. The coaching staff should be embarrassed.
