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.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      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.
