What About Mariota?

Why don't we kick the tires on Mariota?

 

Looked good in limited time this past season. With our improved offensive line and (hopefully) healthy CMC, he would be an extension of our running game and we would have more creativity on offense

 

Maybe sitting behind Carr has done him some good. If we aren't convinced any QBs in this year's draft are the answer, why not give Mariota a one year prove it deal to see what he can do?

Worst case, he sucks and then we can find a better QB in 2023!   He's a FA, and if he can be had for cheap, then I say pick him up!!  Can't be any worse than Darnold

He honestly wasn’t too terrible at Tennessee. Didn’t play to where he was drafted and couldn’t stay healthy. Backing up Carr a few years and getting healthy may have done him good. I wouldn’t be against it. 
Cross at 6 would give him a nice OL and we have some weapons for him in CMC, Moore, Anderson etc…

No thank you. We don't need an older project QB. We already have Sam who at least is still on the 5th year of his rookie contract. Draft Pickett.

    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
    • I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
    • I think Ottawa and Edmonton force game 7.  Although I feel stronger about Toronto failing than I do about Edmonton getting it done again.
