NFL: Quarterback Power Rankings
By Kit Anderson
- Marcus Mariota
Mariota and the Titans should be set for a playoff appearance if he can stay healthy this season. With a stacked roster and a talented young quarterback both Mariota and the Titans are trending in the right direction.
Mariota is an example of the new breed of quarterbacks that are slowly starting to take over the league. He can take over the game with his legs or sit back in the pocket and pick apart the secondary. The hard ending to his season is a little bit concerning considering the severity of breaking a bone.
Whether or not it will affect his play this season is a valid question and may be a concern early on for the Titans. Regardless, long term Mariota is one of the better quarterbacks in the game and if healthy is set for his best season as of yet.
One interesting side note is the amount of talent that the AFC is going to have gunning for playoff spots. It will be interesting to watch how much longer Tom Brady can hold off the young talent that will at some point believe it or not manage to catch up to one of the greatest to play the game.
