Posted August 18, 20231 yr Terrible player. Thank sweet Jesus we didn’t trade half our roster for him back in the day. The sooner he is off the team, the better.
August 18, 20231 yr This is really looking like a bad signing by Howie. Dude looks totally washed. 5 mil of wasted cap space if this is any indication. Anything happens to Jalen we may not win another game unless Howie can find receivers that can jump 7 feet high to catch his passes.
August 18, 20231 yr '' Mariota's changing the play, browns are crowding the box '' will be stuck in my head until our first win this year.

August 18, 20231 yr Tanner McKee has outperformed Mariota for a 2nd game. Time to give the kid a start with the 2nd String and see what he can do with better players. McKee makes the scrubs look better especially when they actually catch the ball. Mariota should be battling book for the 3rd spot.

August 18, 20231 yr He has not looked good at all. However I think there is a danger of overreacting to practice/pre season games. He has plenty of experience in the NFL as an adequate QB. Hopefully we don’t need him. The good news is that McKee has looked pretty good so far if he continues to struggle and we do need a backup.

Meh, it's a one year deal with no cap implications beyond this season. He's sucked in the preseason, but it's not like it's a crippling multi-year deal, and 5 million is about the going rate for a backup QB with starter experience. That said, I hope, if we're unfortunate enough to lose Jalen for an extended amount of time, we see McKee instead of Mariota.
August 18, 20231 yr They're screwed if Hurts goes down regardless. Most teams would be cooked in the same situation and it's rare you have a Nick Foles sitting there in case of emergency Are there any cap implications if they cut Mariota? Does it free up space or is it a dead cap hit @paco?

You can do a lot worse than Mariota as your 3rd QB. I don't know how much he provides in the QB room from a vet perspective and after the way he quit on the Falcons I imagine it's not a hell of a lot
August 18, 20231 yr It could end up being a situation where Mariota is the game day backup and McKee would be the guy if Jalen was going to miss starts.

August 18, 20231 yr would be nice to see McKee play a little more and have some better weapons at his disposal... Mariota is too fire and ice..and since SOMEONE had to bring it up: Nick Foles is a Free Agent 😃
August 18, 20231 yr Nick Foles is done. He isn't coming back. Mariota Blows. I would feel way more confident in Tanner McKee stepping and getting the job done. Strong arm and accurate. He will only get better.

Tyree Jackson would have caught the passes that Calcaterra couldn't.
August 18, 20231 yr Mariota sucks so bad but he's not going anywhere. Thank God McKee looks like a player.
