Smack Mariota: Pick a Side

It'd be worse than giving Michael Griffin a long-term deal as a reward for not holding out.

 

@VondyP you're the leader of the Mary Fairy cult.

 

Ouch. I forgot that one... extending Mariota would be equal or worse.

 

I dont fall into this category, but people can also root for him to fail because we get a replacement faster (possibly).
Right now that’s only Tannehill, so I’m not sure how much rooting anyone should be doing for that scenario.

 

Bet.
Mariota doesn’t get benched without injury.

 

That does bring up the point of market value.
Say he plays marginal again or gets hurt again, I don’t think he’d be able to get $30 mil anywhere.

Is he ousted from the league?
Or more realistic, signed as a backup somewhere for much cheaper?
The possibility of him staying then still seems like a real long shot.

 

Bet he does.

Boo-birds will be the end of him.

That's the problem with having a backup that is as good and potentially better. Fans will waste no time turning on the starter- no matter how "good of a guy" he is.

 

what part of that was difficult for you?

Your boy is soft. Everyone knows but you.

 

Won’t happen. He’s not getting benched without injury.
Has nothing to do with being a “good” guy.
Fans also won’t boo if the team wins, so the D and Henry still have the opportunity to bail him out.

Dude threw 11 TDs last year yet was still the “preferred” QB at seasons end. Did anyone that was at the games remember hearing any Boos for Mariota?
