    Trading him for Bortles has the added effect of us playing 2 games against Jax's backup... Or we could just wait a day and pick him up as a FA.

    Mariotas first 2 years were about the same as Cams average stats. So I guess at least Cam is consistently mediocre. He's always around 20-22TDs and 12-15 INTs.

    You're telling me you'd be happy with Mariota being the same statistically in year 8 as he was in year 1 and 2? And only have 3 winning seasons in 8 seasons? Nope...you'd be calling for an upgrade at QB.

    "Average stats". lol you're really picking and choosing to try to spin this. Let's stick to apples to apples. How do Mariota's average stats compare to Cam's average stats?

    Yeah, "always" around 20-22 except the 3 out of 8 years he wasn't. One of which was 35 TDs (plus another 10 rushing).... something that Mariota hasn't even begun to sniff.

    Perhaps but the question was "Who would I rather have? Mariota or Cam." The answer is Cam.

    And most of those teams fan bases would trade for mariota. People are never happy with what they have. Don’t believe me? Go to their forums....

    For 3 years I was a HUGE Mariota fan, sure that with the right OC he would flourish.

    This year brought me back to earth.

    I really like ESPN Total QBR, it rates the whole impact a QB has on the offense.
    Mariota contributes a LOT with his running, so I ignore any metric which does not take that into account.

    How has Mariota done in this metric vs other QBs in his 4 years?
    2015 26th ranked QB (not too bad for a rookie)
    2016 13th ranked QB (Just the sort of improvement you look for in the 2nd year)
    2017 13th ranked QB (At the time, I blamed the lack of improvement on the OC)
    2018 20th ranked QB (I no longer think so highly of Mariota, I hope I am wrong)

    I said average stats for Cam, because if you look, they're pretty close to the same every year except that one...as I said AROUND 20.... I didn't give exact numbers because I thought we were all smart enough to understand my point that his numbers are pretty close every year outside of that one year.


    He had 24 TDs twice and less than 20 a few times... That's why I said *AROUND* 20-22. That one season he did go above 24...I'll give you that if it makes you feel better. But I think you know what I meant.
    Ok, that's fine. I would have loved Mariota to have consistent stats like that...My point was, everyone here would have been ready to boot Cam after year 4 if he was still the same QB from year 1 with 1 winning season in that span.

    A lot of people weren't happy with Mariota first 2 seasons....so the last 2 certainly didn't help his case.
    Personally, I wasn't a fan of the pick but the first 2 seasons made me think he may have it but after 2 terrible seasons and all the injuries it's looking like he may not be the answer.

    The only guy on the list I would trade Mariota for would be Wentz. However, if I could pick any current QB, it would be Mayfield.

    You guys need to be real about this list, no team will trade their starting Qb besides Jags, Dolphins, Broncos, Giants or Bucs. Looking at those teams, thats no upgrade to trade for.
