    Sure QB’s always get offers but it doesn’t mean they are big offers or even starting QB offers. Teddy Bridgewater is a prime example.

    The NFL is different now. Most teams either have a vet QB or have drafted a QB they are going to ride with for a few years.

    The only legitimate teams right now that you could argue would be in the market for Marcus would be Dolphins, Bengals, Colts, & Bucs. 3 of those teams will most likely be picking in a spot where they can get a rookie in this loaded draft class. Even the colts may be able to grab a rookie there are so many of them this year.

    What is your purpose for only signing him to a 5 year deal except to give us cap problems faster?

    Most qb deals don’t allow you to get out for 3 years without taking a massive hit so the only thing that will be different is you’ll blowup our cap in year four and then you’ll be at the same place as you’ll be at the end of this season except Mariota will have all the leverage.

    Put him on a 10 year deal and you can keep his cap manageable for longer. And if he doesn’t play well...you can get out about the same time so I see no upside to a shorter deal unless you think you can get him for a cheaper annual value.

    You keep saying how many other teams will want him? Clearly there will be teams in need of a qb. But what’s your answer to the flip side? Suppose you try to low ball him or annoy him Orr someone makes him a better offer and he leaves and we’re picking at 25 in round 1. Who’s gonna be our starting qb in 2020?

    NFL contracts are all about the guaranteed money. A short term deal with low guarantees.

    That’s my entire point. I don’t think we are going to have many other teams bidding against us. We aren’t low balling him. We just aren’t offering a long term deal. Not many other places he can go unless some people retire. Loaded QB class coming out and teams are going to want a cheap rookie deal to help rebuild over paying a QB tons of money.

    If he leaves we can sign Tannehill to be our starter.

    Offense was tailored more towards what he can do tho. Especially in the red zone. Which is a good thing overall. He’s a bottom tier QB for the most part, not many things are going to change.

    You see Denver last night? Flacco looked bad so Denver may be a landing spot. There are teams with aging vets; Steelers, saints, chargers, Patriots, and teams like ours that might not be sold with their guy. Teams like Bears, jags, colts, bucs etc. He has shown glimpses and abilities to win NFL games and it's known in the league no favors were done here in TN to help him grow with all the coaching changes. There will be teams if he isn't signing here.

    Mariota didn't look better than Flacco.

    You keep asking about specifics going into the next offseason and there really just isn’t any way of knowing all that yet. It hasn’t played itself out yet. But even average QB’s get contracts. We know that. Look at Foles and Flacco. If Mariota plays well, there will be suitors. Why are we debating this?

    Picture me sipping some MacCallan's 21 scotch and playing some sorrow violin song for you.

    We know you're mad and so bent MM8 played good and we won. It's just eating at you he didn't have any picks or fumble. Your man-crush Cossell has nothing to say and your idol Tanne only registered negative yards on the stat sheet! LOL

    If only he had played good... He looked like rolled over dog poop most of the game. With a few good throws over the course of the game.

    ''He was composed,'' Vrabel said of Mariota. ''He got us into all the right plays. They were pressuring, and some of those things weren't easy. It wasn't perfect. He will tell you he missed some throws, but he competed.''

    that basically sums it up, nothing positive to say so "well we told him what play to run and he told them in the huddle" great work Mariota.
