He wasn't GOOD ENOUGH to take a team all the way, but he was still an above average QB. He was a Cousins, but we obviously needed a Mahomes.
But Mariota is in no way, by any stretch of realistic comparison anywhere near an Alex Smith.

Meh. He was a means QB. He was never going to put a team on his back to win games. But he could take a 6 win team and get you 8 wins or a 13 win team and get you 10.
He was so cautious it was a detriment to the offense. His focus was no turnovers.
Remember he set the 16 game schedule mark of not throwing a TD to a wr.
