How soon can they get out of it and at what cost. All unknows at this point, so need to speculate. Let it play out. Of course you let it play out. We're asking what the team should do if he doesn't play at a high level. Let me ask you ... would you want what Miami did after Tannehill had a solid contract year? With his middling talent? What did that do for the franchise? Honestly, who cares about getting a "good deal." With QB it's not about the money. If he's mediocre your team will stay mediocre, so who cares about how he helps your salary cap? Edited July 15, 2019 by big2033 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Mariota isn’t good enough on the field to be worth paying him like he is a top tier QB you need to find a new one. big2033, and OILERMAN 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats may be the only thing that's similar. I think some of Marcus' problems have been situational. I think some have been mental. I think we get to see a exactly what his ceiling is this year. That won't make the contract decision any easier though. I can go along some, I don't think we see his ceiling. I don't think we have to see him play to what he can become, but he has to give you a feeling of comfort when he gets behind center. That's our guy and he's going to run the offense to near it's potential. Make Corey Davis better. Have Humphries playing at least as well as he has been playing. Show proficiency in hitting backs coming out of the backfield. He draws a lot of attention when he takes off, start beating teams with his arm when that happens. Don't get hurt.

They will look at MM performance and the cost to keep him. Then they will look at potential replacements and the cost to acquire and keep them. The chiefs, cards and dolphins won't be a factor. You do realize I was responding on how idiotic that Dalton comment was? Edited July 15, 2019 by wiscotitansfan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let it play and then you will have something definite to go on instead of abstact speculation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has an amazing year he's only getting franchised.... Because we've seen it's not his norm Sure, him being under contract would be due to 2019 but his whole resume matters a lot on what we do with him Edited July 15, 2019 by wiscotitansfan titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is elite in 2019 he will be re-signed. If not then he probably won’t be. The problem is if he is “pretty good”. How much do you pay a QB who is “pretty good”? Maybe you franchise him and give him one more year to prove it, but I don’t think they can give him a big new contract based on “pretty good”.

There’s a very real chance that they could keep Tannehill as the short term starter if they let MM go after this season. I said right after the trade that one of them was likely to be starting in 2020.

People have made it complicated because they think there are all these unforseen factors that affects his play versus the other top QBs. Take all the excuses away and like Andrew Luck put shit together and go out and play and put up numbers like a franchise QB. Easy.
