Marcus Mariota was expected to be Jalen Hurts’s backup after signing with the Eagles this offseason, but the 29-year-old’s performance vs. the Browns on Thursday night didn’t do much to instill confidence.

The quarterback started Thursday night’s game and completed 9 of 17 passes for 86 yards and one interception and was sacked three times. He drew the ire of fans particularly with a few throws that were seemingly way off the mark.

Sixth-round rookie Tanner McKee played in the second half and performed well, completing 11 of 19 passes for 149 yards and a touchdown.

Fans and media didn’t go easy on Mariota during the game on Thursday night on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. Here’s some of the social media reaction.
