Ranking the Top 5 Titans quarterbacks of all time
By Ryan Heckman
4. Marcus Mariota
Similarly to Young, Marcus Mariota is a bit of a "what if," himself. Another highly-touted college quarterback, coming out of Oregon, some thought Mariota could end up being one of the best quarterbacks in football at one point.
His dual-threat skillset was as exciting as anyone's coming into the league, and actually provided some excellent stretches for the Titans over the years. Back in 2016, there was a stretch where Mariota accounted for at least three touchdowns in four out of six games, but notched multiple touchdowns in all six, going for multiple touchdowns in eight-straight games, in fact.
That was, by far, Mariota's best season as a pro. It came in just his second season, where he finished with 3,426 passing yards, 26 touchdowns and only nine picks. He also added 349 rushing yards and two scores on the ground.
The former second overall pick back in 2015 finished his Titans career with 13,207 passing yards, good for fifth all-time, 76 passing touchdowns, 44 interceptions, 1,399 rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns.
