Marcus Mariota? (2 Viewers)

I'll leave it to SP. He'll do what ever he wants anyway.

If you want to keep Taysom in his role or even expand it (and I want to) the Saints have to carry three QBs. You can’t have your only backup get hurt on a STs play. So if Teddy walks and they resign Drew I think it’s a possibility to bring in Mariota unless they draft a guy. There’s talent there and I think Payton excels at working to a player’s strengths. I know he’s looked pretty mediocre in the NFL but you never know. I wouldn’t necessarily be against it.

If Bridgewater walks and Mariota is willing to sign very cheap then it's well worth a look.

So little love for Teddy on this board.

For being very athletic he was horrible at working a pocket and extending plays. He could take designed runs but beyond that he couldn't create with his feet. That should have helped his poor pocket passing. I don't think you can fix that. To even be a good immobile pocket passer you need to read a pocket.

Marcus Mariota: No doubt I'll be a starter again

Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill wasn't ready to talk about his playing future after Sunday's loss to the Chiefs and he's not the only Tennessee signal caller facing uncertainty in 2020.

Bridgey is better than Mariota. I think this thread is about a new backup for Brees when Bridgey leaves to be a starter. That actually equates to “love for Teddy” IMO.

Exactly. This is a "what-if analysis" of Bridgewater or Brees leaving and the Saints not being able to draft a 1st round QB. Who do you get to fill in then? I would like to see what Payton could do with Mariota as a backup, he's still young and has some talent.

Now for some reason if we don't have either Brees or Bridgewater, then you better make sure you get a high QB pick. As we analyzed in another thread, there really isn't a starting quality QB that could be traded for at this point.

Could Marcus Mariota revive his career in N.O.?
For those saying he's terrible, keep in mind that in his 5 years in Tenn, he had to deal with 3 new head coaching changes and 4 new offensive coordinators in that time span. I wonder if the stability of the Saints organization coupled with the genius of Sean Payton could "set him straight"?

I would rather Taysom Hill

What about Andy Dalton? I believe he would do well with our weapons and genius of a coach.

I hadn't really considered Dalton, but I would be open to it. I think he fits better with what the Patriots do, however.

 

[bobad]

His problems are mental, he needs seasoning and a better team situation. He has a problem finding progressions but that takes a good teacher and OL. I've seen him hit 2-3 tight windows in a row, and he can do it on the run. Worth taking a look, he would make a great backup if nothing else.

 

[ShortFuzed9]

I think it's worth a look. He wasn't exactly groomed in Tennessee and given similarities between He and Taysom I think would be a good fit

 

[Nonreg]

I like the idea.

He’s a mobile QB that can throw, just needs time to learn the system. Drew/ Payton are the best combo for turning him around
