Mariota gets injured often and with that offensive line, I don't see this being a great move.

I'm not sure why they felt the need to have a quarterback. I guess Marcus gets a paycheck to give the opposing teams someone to hit.

You really wanna throw a rookie QB behind that line?

Was hoping we would go full troll mode and get Kaepernick for a year.

Now this is a fricking win on all fronts. If Kap wins, we all get to have a fun season. If Kap loses, a lot (and he would), we could tell the wokesters to shut the frick up.

Mariota’s deal has escapability after one season. It's in Year 2 that he can make $12 million more than he'll made this year - which is $6.75 million deal.

Mariota has ties with Falcons coach Arthur Smith, having previously worked with him during their time with the Tennessee Titans, and in theory, the QB could be around in Year 2 to collect that pay day.

Yikes. Well, I guess it's on him then. If he has a good season, awesome, make that money. However, if he has a bad season or average one at best, guess ATL cuts bait.

Only QB I would take at 8th is Kenny Pickett.

The 2 worth a top 15ish pick will be gone by pick 8.

If you think this is anything more than a bridge QB... you need to relax.
