What he did this season coming back so soon because they told him they needed him probably meant more the FO and staff than his struggles.

IsntLifeFunny Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 I sure hope he gets the speed rushers figured out. They’ve eaten his lunch for two straight years anytime he didn’t have help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to load up for 2020 when we are drafting a QB in round 1. The accumulating of draft assets for 2020 is one thing I will be watching for this offseason, if JRob trades back in the draft or trades away a player or two for 2020 picks instead of 2019 picks it will be very telling about how confident they are that Mariota will ever get that long term extension here.

What does his 5th year option number have to do with this? They haven’t exercised it and won’t until May.

I was trolling a bit for a while about cutting Marcus, but the point is there’s simply no way he’s even close to deserving a big contract, even if he has a decent 19. That’s why I would sign him now if he’ll take the deal at around 20 a year with team options similar to the Kaep and Bortles contract. If we aren’t looking to draft his immediate replacement in the draft this year then that’s the move imo. As ive maintained the worse thing to happen for us as a franchise is for Marcus to have a solid year, get a 26 million + contract with a ton of guaranteed money, and then go right back to being injured and inconsistent. If that happens we are missing out on a very deep and talented QB pool in 2020. These 3k seasons aren’t going to cut it. I think he could be money in the playoffs, but we have to get there first. It’s a tough position, which is why I understand they’re just going to let it play out, but that’s a dangerous move if he blows up and demands a huge contract. Tough to say what to do, but I honestly think letting him just play out the fifth year option is a bad move unless we are picking a QB round one this year. Hopefully I’m wrong.

Hopefully I’m wrong. That recurring nerve/stinger issue probably rules out any chance of any type of long term deal this offseason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, but then what’s the plan? Hope he has a good season so we can pay him more than he’s worth and miss out on the 2020 QBs? It’s a tough spot.

headhunter Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Of course it has to be a nerve issue in his throwing arm. Just our luck. I have a hard time believing that its gonna heal on its own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number is the average of the top 10 OTs.... That’s what they would have to pay if him they choose to exercise the option. Same concept as the franchise tag. My point previously was that the 5th year option and subsequently what they’ll have to pay him long term could be unaffordable and may really exceed his value to the team, so they may have to think about trading him. He’ll need to have a pro bowl type season this year to justify that number or to earn the lucrative extension that he’ll demand.
