Riggo'sRangers Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Pretty sure the new and MUCH improved front office have a better bead on the Mariota event than any of the conjecture we have heard through the media, or otherwise. They know what is going on, and what went on. I trust them without reservation. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball Security Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I’d rather have Colt McCoy than Mariotta as the backup QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody should be above reasonable critique/criticism. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably need to get younger at CB, but the depth chart is so unsettled in the secondary, and a ton of teams need corners. This is going to be difficult to fix. I’m a fan of Fuller, but wonder about his fit in this D. I also think some combo of younger/cheaper/short term deal might be a big part of the calculus - IIRC, he’s one of the higher ranked FA corners.

tmandoug1 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Maybe Mariota is going to be Sam's backup and we are trading back for a kings ransom and getting Alt! Is it still possible! Lol. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, We're going to get HAUL for that #2 I never thought we would be moving on from Howell, BTW Now back to my Cardboard Box and Wine!

KDawg Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I hope some of you have parachutes for the leaps you’re making. Us signing Mariota is a sign that we’re not drafting a QB at 2? I’m not saying it’s impossible… but that’s a bit of a stretch. 11 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably going to get one last big deal, and I get the preference for cheap short term contracts this year. But it's going to be hard to fill in our corner depth chart because of the level of demand for the position. Might be someone in the second round of the draft for us, but you never want to have to rely on the draft to put out roster fires. It forces reaches and rookies almost never actually fill in as good starters for the short term anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogofWar1 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I don't agree with the assessment of Mariota as a runner and I certainly don't think it moves the needle for anyone in the draft. Mariota's high water marks for rushing we 85 rushes and 438 yards, and during his TENN time he was rushing 60ish times for mid-300's yards. Compare that to Lamar Jackson whose low water marks were 112 rushes and in a different year 695 yards. Moreover in Mariota's 2 years starting in Tenn he threw 450ish times. Jackson threw 450+ times once this past year and has been consistently at or below 400 attempts the rest of his career. Sure Lamar is a better player than Mariota but their play styles seemingly differ a great deal. Ultimately I don't think it signals anything really. Mariota is a mobile-ish QB so really he could fit either of the two guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyHolt Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I hope Chicago gets screwed by the market for Fields quickly drying up, presume because they are asking too much. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redskins 2021 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Mariotta will be fine as the vet back up. We used a 5th on Howell need a fourth back at the least. Still need the OT, other the NE guy none have signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooka Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 1 minute ago, RandyHolt said: Pains me to see every year GMs think its imperative to bring in a failed QB to show the greenhorns how to fail under the guise that it is providing stability or whatever. I would rather have a former QB as a OC assistant or QB coach. Seems like a waste of 5M to me. I'd rather go with 1st or 2nd year QBs as backups and tank vs Mariota pressed into duty and eek us to mediocrity and a ****ty draft pick. They might see value in Mariota on the practice field, running the scout team and prepping our defense too. Or maybe he was just the next QB down on their list. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatteredFanSyndrome Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 The only signing I don’t like is Mariota. Like nothing about him as a player and don’t really find the whole veteran presence thing to be of much value. $6M guaranteed feels like a lot for him. Why not just roll with Howell, who is cheaper and could potentially surprise if he had to play? I see no point in dumping Howell for a ham sandwich. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetMeSeeYourWarFace21 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) Come on Peters, sign someone else soon, so we can change the conversation around here. Not tryna read about Marcus Mariota all day.

The Consigliere Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 19 hours ago, Tress Is The Way said: Austin Eke is still out there, I'd definitely try to bring him in Dude showed every sign of being utterly toast last year. The RB age cliff is a thing, he passed it, and then you just have to wait for the bomb to go off, as it always does, it happened for Ekeler last year. Don't get the signing at all, but I suppose it's a spackle stop gap because this rookie RB class sucks. Probably a decision to give the new QB 2 adequate floor RB's, but Ekeler, again, totally looks toast. So? I don't really see the point here, at all.

The surprise playing well is the problem with Howell. He very capable of causing a Qb controversy where he play great for four weeks and they don't want to take him out. If they draft a qb really high it has to be his team. Edited March 12 by Redskins 2021 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar1156 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I don't think this necessarily means Howell is gone. It could be a true competition for the backup job in training camp. He's not that good. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
