They could opt for another vet with less limitations than Tannehill or Mariota, I'm pretty certain they are drafting one because even if Mariota is around, they'll need a backup who isn't awful.

ctm Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 RT is likely to want/accept a 1 year prove it deal to increase his market value. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT can be had cheaper and he's more inline to be a bridge starter/back-up. I don't see MM going from highly drafted franchise QB to that role, it would be awkward. Then the question comes down to how things play out. Do they trade up a ton of capitol of move up like teams have done recently, Wentz, Mahomes, Goff etc........

Mariota Wouldnt/shouldn’t stay to groom a guy... though that would be super funny for the people who say he’s a beta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both sides would need a clean break. First of all MM doesn't even have the basics and fundamentals down himself, you want an older vet for that role. He's either being groomed to be the franchise guy or he has no real use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Mariota is as dreadful as you and big say he is (bottom 5 QB) and JRob has no ties to him then why would we bring him back. It would only make sense if a poster was covering their ass.

He's either being groomed to be the franchise guy or he has no real use. Seeing as how RT has been just as inconsistent in TC/practice, that doesn’t exactly make sense. Only thing that resolves here is that RT is a vet and has seen a little more success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing that resolves here is that RT is a vet and has seen a little more success. How much stock do you put into that? Local media has been doing everything they can to undermine RT while celebrating everything Mariota does (charting his practice "stats" while not giving any context, such as the majority of the throws being short and the # of times he didn't even attempt to throw the ball). They did the same thing after the preseason game, saying that Mariota was fine and shrugged at RT, while we could clearly see who looked better. They seem to be trying to sell Mariota to the dopes as they have been doing all off-season, cherry picking ways which make Mariota appear to be better than he is.

Just because there are a bunch of QBs in this draft doesn't mean we'll force ourselves to draft one if we don't feel like it's a generational talent. Especially if we're left with the 4th-best choice. The Dolphins and Chiefs held on to mediocrity for years waiting for the right opportunity.

If you want a chance at an actual franchise QB you have to pay the trade up price. Sign anyone else you basically know what you're getting (and it ain't a franchise QB). The odds of a QB succeeding who wasn't drafted at the top are very low. It'll be a fun season. If MMRT can play pretty well we could make some noise this year, but also we might be making big moves for a new QB in the offseason. rns90 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
