Smith will go to the #1 role 

 

Stocker to #2

 

do we roll with Firkser and promote Cunningham or seek trade?

 

i can’t believe Walker...

They probably look to see who they can bring in.  The larger problem is which way they go with Mariota.  They could try to develop the team and find a QB.  Teddy is on a one year deal.  I don't know about Tyrod Taylor.  He could have easily won with the team we have today.

Smith is actually a pretty damn good replacement for Walker

It's time for these kids' balls to drop.  Plenty of young players come ready to contribute nowadays, many out of the blue. Young players all over the league drafted all over the board. The 90's are gone, the days of learning slowly are over.  Real contribution is expected in the first contract.  It's time for them nut up or shut up.

 

Smith has the skillset - it's time to contribute. Same goes for the WRs and Mariota too.

Except for the whole blocking thing Walker can do that Smith can't.

Walker is usually detatched from the formation anyway, Stocker plays inline. I really don't think much will change. It a downgrade but not a huge one

Walker is critical to running outside zone and in general in 3WR sets from a blocking standpoint...

I noticed several running plays before Walker went out where the two TEs on the field were Stocker and Smith.

He is Mariota’s security blanket.  It’s huge in Mariota’s Head.

So now Mariota will start throwing for less than 200 yards and have more INTs than TDs? 

 

Like I said, Smith will fill in fine

You missed my point.  The only time Mariota throws with authority from the pocket is to Walker.  I agreed Smith isn’t a huge drop off.
