Week 1: Oakland Raiders (0-0) @ Tennessee Titans (0-0)

Yeah from what i'm seeing of this game it's been very well played and entertaining. I gotta say who'd have thought Mariota would transform himself into such a great pro style QB. I'll admit the offense they run there probably restrains him a bit but it gets the job done and he's sharpened his skills considerably from when he was drafted a couple years ago.

Yeah, he's definitely insulated by the system, and his mechanics still leave a lot to be desired. If the Titans can keep this system humming, and he stays healthy he can be very effective. He's like a very light Cam Newton, just doesn't have the overall arm talent to be a QB that can drive the bus regardless of what's available with the rest of the offense. He's smart and fast as hell, and can execute the properly tailored system to a high degree with a little bit of x-factor thrown in.
