I think the Colts go for Mariota. Familiar with that division

Good for him. I am really curious about money. Could be 5m, could be 12m, maybe more. I honestly have no clue. And it matters for Bills also due to comp pick formula.

 

Don't think they are bringing him in to compete. They are signing him as a starter which means $10M +.

I guess he will have one game circled for sure come 2022…and he’s fed up playing 2nd fiddle.

I hope the Bills have that game circled from that embarrassing performance from last season.

They still have options. Jimmy G would be a great fit for them and be in their price range draft picks wise. I also think they are rumored to be in on Jordan Love which is another solid option for them.

This is a great fit.

 

That said, I don't understand why the Mariotta market isn't hotter than the Trubisky one-- I personally would rather give Mariotta a second shot over MT.

Agree. I will say I'd rather see him with the Steelers than the Colts - as I think the Colts would be a really dangerous team with competent QB play.

Steelers have a better roster outside of QB. But tougher division.

Good move by Pitt...

Interesting.  Makes sense, but didn't see that coming.  I'm very curious to see the financials.  I though the rumors to the Giants was just poor journalism.  If he gets over 20 mil, the Bills and Josh deserve a cut

 

Ha, Trubisky isn't sharing with the $258M man.

 

But I agree it gives the Steelers something they lack - a legitimate starting QB who can play in their offense.

he's dead to me.

You don't understand why the Mariotta market IS hotter, or ISN'T hotter?  By the 2nd sentence, you mean the latter.

 

1) Mariota would be on his third shot, not his 2nd.  In 2020, the Raiders brought him in at 2 yrs/$18M to compete with Carr.  He flamed out.

2) Comparison

I think it shows what my eyeballs tell me, which is that Trubisky is a better player, but YMMV - they're certainly close

[Jerry Jabber]

Good for Mitch. I see a lot of people are bashing the move on Twitter already. I hope Mitch has success in Pittsburgh, just except when they play the Bills.

Probably just the injury concerns. Mariotta I think first play for Vegas last year busted a 20+ yard run and then was hurt for like 6 weeks after it. He probably comes with much more risk with his injury history

I like the fit for Trubisky. I think he could be a competent starter in that offense.

Can’t wait to see the money on this one. No one wanted him last year. He sits for a year and doesn’t play, and somehow everyone forgot his Chicago tape and the reasons no one wanted him last off season. 

 

Difference between a year with five round 1 Quarterbacks and a year with arguably 0.

I don't know about that. I think Indy's offensive line and ability to run the ball are far better than the Steelers. Combine that with a QB that could give them consistent, competent QB play and, IMO, they are the more dangerous team.

Good place for him. Wish him luck, except when he plays us.

 

 

….or we are competing for playoff seeding. Which is almost certainly the case. Maybe we can get Fitzy to be his backup? That would take care of the problem!
