prissythecat Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) The Titans should be announcing their choice of starting QB later today. I suspect that they will bench Mariota and promote Talleywacker. Given that I know Mariota has had a following on this board in past and that the claim is he just needs the right coach, should the Bills consider going for this guy? After all , the Bills should be "All In " this season given how wide open the AFC is :p Edited October 15, 2019 by prissythecat 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgotBILLStopay Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I think we are just fine with Barkley as a backup. Now if, god forbid, there is an injury to the top 2, I'd be happy looking at Mariota. He is pretty good but his OL does him no favors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Junction Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Unless Mariota survives and catches fire down the stretch he’s destined to ride some pine or be this offseason “veteran placeholder”. The Bills don’t need either service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) WHY??? No, I stay pat with Allen and Barkley unless something catastrophic happens. And even if it did, who is the Titan’s 3rd QB? Why would they leave themselves in that position? . Edited October 15, 2019 by Augie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 No more than one 2020 first round pick for Mariotta. He and Allen can compete for a starting position next week at practice. This should all work out just swimmingly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 hmmmmmm Very interesting ....... In lieu of Barkley obviously. If the price is right.....

BigBuff423 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I am more interested in building on the team chemistry and what the Bills are doing with their players than trading for anyone outside of a good OLB and / or OT. It feels like the Bills have good depth at nearly every other position OR have young players that *can* be good but need some coaching and time and I don't want to take that away from them because this organic growth of their players is special. The Off-season will have time and money to fill holes / needs and be able to vet the player's character and persona to fit within the organization. Mariota seems like a good person, and I wish him the best, but QB is a big position to put in mid-season and unless you know their fit within the locker room really well, I think it makes more sense to leave it alone at this point.

He has an 89 career qb rating (Barkley has a 68 but he is clearly better!). Mariota will probably get a chance to move to another team to compete for a job and make a lot of money being a backup. but I definitely would take Allen over him right now.

Oh yea you take Allen over him now because the final picture of Allen isn't clear, yet. I kind of think the final picture of Mariota isn't either, he has had some god awful coaching and coordinators. He's definitely regressed under the Meat Head. I think he could still be a starting QB in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Not paying a backup QB that kind of money. A better thread question might be, how many QBs in the NFL would you trade Allen for right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
