Marcus Mariota as a backup to Dak

[Vinnie2u]

Didn’t really follow Atlanta Football. But Marcus always intrigued me from his Oregon Days.. his stats weren’t that bad last year. given the lack of talent in Atlanta. 15 9 88.1 QBR. If Dak is
Injured he can come in and the Offense could keep rolling. I know the naysayers will say we can’t afford him cause we dumpster dive FA’s

Didn't he quit on the falcons last season? I'm good, rather draft a QB or keep Rush

I would bring him is and have him compete for the starting job.

they quit on him and he had a newborn at that time.

Mariota has been dumped by three teams. He is not the answer. Might as well bring in Wentz.

You must not have watched him play. Take it from someone who watched him last year and had him as an fantasy football QB, you don't want him starting. Definitely would be ok as a backup because he can still run

[Risen Star]

He is trash.

So there wouldn't be much drop off.

 

[McKDaddy]

He is what you are looking for as a backup. Fringe starter who can step in and keep things rolling.

 

[thunderpimp91]

If you are going to go out and spend big money on a back up QB, why not just keep Rush? IMO with what you are already paying Dak it makes more sense to go with a budget vet qb on a smaller deal and use a mid round pick on a qb to compete for the backup gig.

Me too

He isn't that guy any more.

 

[Carson]

I really turned away from him after the Washington game.

I did watch him play for Atlanta and he did look pretty bad but I am willing to try anything to move away from Dak.

 

[DeaconMoss]

Im thinking AR-15, Jaren Hall or Max Duggan would be the kind of QB to add to the roster for the future

 

[Coogiguy03]

I BET IF HE PLAYED AGAINST US AGAIN HE'D BE SUCCESSFUL

 

[CATCH17]

Draft a guy. You might win the lottery and it keeps pressure off Dak.

 

[Havic]

Brissett is the best available back up imo and it’s not even close.

He actually played fairly well and Atlanta was better than expected. He'd be a fine back up.

He did damage on the ground as well.
