    There's a lot of them out there.. in college too. No matter how toxic their philosophies are to a team.. they are hell bent on not changing a thing until someone in management mercifully fires them.

    it's a good topic to discuss considering Whiz has burned thru about 9 QBs the last few years...

    I think that mariota starts, period. It is yet to be seen who is best, but I don't think that will matter.

    Mariota starts, good or bad. If mett or cbj starts week one.........heads will roll either for betting the farm on a loser or not being able to coach him up.

    Whiz has been notorious for playing the "QB carousel" game ... but this is really the 1st time that he has been able to "hand pick" his own guy and select him this high.

    I think Whiz and Webster are all in on Mariota, and they bet their jobs on it. They felt like Mariota was worth the risk, and I think it will pay off big for them.

    Of course he would, if it were a total trainwreck.. Not even Manning or Brady would be bench-proof, if they played horribly (they just rarely or never do)


    You'd have to be tanking or crazy to keep a player in that is Curtis Painter bad for a full season, when there is a capable backup.

    The question i should've asked is....

    Will Whisenhunt be tempted to play Mett as starter if Mariota struggles for a certain period of time.

    I do wonder if Mariota struggles does he crank the QB carousel up again and throw Mett in as starting QB......

    Mariota is the starter. Whiz has chosen his fate.

    Mett is only playing if Mariota gets hurt. End of story.

    If Mett does start over a healthy Mariota, Whiz & Ruston will be eventually fired.

    They will claim Mariota has a non-descript injury and is out for 2-3 weeks.......
