Mariota likely to be cut

You'd think the Patriots would jump all over this. 

They might, though word was they were talking to the 49ers about Garoppolo and we're told he wasn't available.

Speaking of the 49ers, Trubisky going to the Bills means they don't get him and they're still in the market for a backup.

Looks like they are kicking the tires on Flacco

Meh, this is post draft garbage diving kind of signing. No reason to do this now. 

IDK about that. A lot of that depends on what we plan to do with Teddy. If the plan is to jettison him come hell or high water, I'd probably look at Mariota now if he is affordable. At worst, huge boost at the #2 QB.

Man if we are going Turdbustky then why not another rando? I get the 'maybe we can make it work' aspect but I don't see a reason to jump yet. There will be some vet available post draft.

Plus once we pick up a QB we won't get jack for Teddy. I'm hoping a 5th is out there somewhere but I'm more than happy with a flat cut.

I think it just depends on what the overall plan is. If it is "Watson or bust" then there isn't a rush. If the plan is "Anyone but Teddy" I could see a reason to start looking around.

If it was 'Watson or bust' before prodays are done we have much bigger problems.

I don't mind the looking but we should wait until we address the Teddy scenario. Once we make the first move then the dominoes start falling. Why put ourselves in a corner over a backup level QB?

With our current roster and cap, we can't sign anyone really, let alone an actual NFL QB.

Everyone is all excited about Deshaun, but I'm baffled at how anyone expects us to fit him.  The Texans surely don't want Teddy with Tyrod already in house.

If I was the Texans' GB, I would pull a page from the NBA and tell the Panthers they would have to pay me to take Teddy off their hands with more draft picks. The Panthers have already made the blunder of letting it be known Teddy is not good enough for them, why would anyone with a lick of sense be willing to trade for him? The best option when it comes to Teddy for any team that might be interested is to wait for the Panthers to be forced to cut him and sign Teddy for cheap without giving up anything else.

It depends on the overall plan. I guess we will see what the overall plan is. Hard to say at the moment.

I have no idea, some conflicting readings and known dead ends going in different directions. It certainly isn't boring.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
