Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Mularkey is really angry over how the media covers quarterback Marcus Mariota. He claims that the media is only focusing on the bad stuff and not all the great he does.
“Nobody ever talks about how accurate [Mariota] is with some of the throws that he does make,” Mularkey said. “All [the media] keeps asking are about the throws he doesn’t. There’s a lot of good throws that he makes every Sunday in very, very tight window throws.”
Here is the thing. Mike Mularkey is just sticking up for his quarterback. It is his job. Part of the reason why he is there. Had he just discussed how “correct” some of the media takes might be, his gunslinger would hate his guts forever.
At the same time, the media's job isn't to write pro-Titans propaganda. Furthermore, it is fair to question some of the QB's play. It isn't as if Marcus Mariota has been Drew Brees since entering the National Football League.
What does make this slightly more laughable is that this is coming off a four interception game by the quarterback. I don't exactly know what Mularkey was expecting in the aftermath of such a brutal performance. Even if the media were being paid by the Titans to create a positive spin, there isn't a heck of a lot to do with his performance to make that so.
Nevertheless, this is not a huge deal. It would be a much bigger one had the coach turned on his quarterback instead of protecting him.
