TerryBoats Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) Maybe we'll draft one, allow Marcus to be a bridge, and let him walk and get a big comp pick. Paying a starter + solid backup is a big investment which will put us around or at elite QB money for a cap hit which isn't even close to worth it.

big2033 Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 After some thought, I think our backup should be a contrast to Mariota. Someone more aggressive. Maybe a Fitzpatrick. In order to see if a more aggressive passer is needed longterm. TerryBoats, and OILERMAN 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see him audibling out of run plays and really fucking the team over with turnovers. I don't see Vrabel going that direction, but I wouldn't rule it out either.

Starkiller Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Maybe Case Keenum... SuperFreak90, and Titans279 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titans279 Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 I would go after Keenum, Bridgewater, Taylor... all the guys who are backups that people squint at and try to see starters. Yeah, they probably aren’t but it’s worth the investment. That’s just the point we’re at with Mariota imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of Vrabel going in that direction, you could be right. In terms of fucking the team over with turnovers ... who cares. If one side of our coin is overly cautions it might help to have someone on the team that's on the other side of the spectrum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a Fitzpatrick. In order to see if a more aggressive passer is needed longterm. Fitz has crossed my mind more than once (actually every time I think about it). Not so much because he such a contrast from Mary (he is), but I feel he always give you a chance when he comes off the bench. Yeah, you might get "Turnover Fitz", but out of all the back-ups that won't demand crazy $$$ I'd be happy to bring him back. Plus, he's super smart, been around and seen all sorts of offensives, and I'm sure he'd have some tips for Mary. That all would also be a positive for a first time OC. The guy could mentor half the Offense and add some veteran savvy to a young OC. ....Or he could totally go rogue gunslinger and dig a huge whole (I think our HC would check him real quick and lock that down). So, I do see @tgo's point, but I still think he's a viable option. If nothing else he's viable for a one year deal that could provide some very entertaining ball while we see if Mary earns his next contract. Sure he could provide long painful alcohol nights just as well, but still better than our current back situation. big2033 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinx81 Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 If Gabbert really isn’t coming back next season ik expecting a round 2-3 QB. Ithink the asking price for some of these guys even as a backup will be too much for JRob to throw down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't draft a QB in the mid rounds if you might be drafting a QB in the first the next year. AussieTitanFan08, and Starkiller 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only draft a QB in the mid rounds if you've got a solid starter and want to develop someone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
