SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 hmmmmmm Very interesting ....... In lieu of Barkley obviously. If the price is right..... But I think he may get a shot at a starting job in say Denver or someplace where the OLD guy just aint cutting it. Maybe Miami will swing a trade
BigBuff423 Posted October 15, 2019 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 is not better than Josh Allen or Matt Barkley. What do these takes accomplish? He’s a clown? And you are insane if you don’t think he is better than Matt Barkley. But overall, it accomplishes nothing to trade for him.

Josh Allen will be judged on his abilities and his alone, not what his peers are doing. Marcus Mariota appearing to be bad doesn't make Josh Allen look better or make the Bills brain trust look better. 1
whatdrought Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 At first I thought this thread was a "would you want him next year as a backup" which I would probably be fine with... Now I see it's just idiotic drivel. 1

Not understanding the offense? Those I'd agree with. BIG NO to Mariota. Even if he was a FA.

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.

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 ? I believe this person is up to specifications @DC Tom. I was going to say it myself, but I figured you deserved it more as I'm sure you have been patiently awaiting this opportunity.

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

Mariota hasn’t lived up to being a starting qb but Barkley is a dime a dozen backup. It’s weird how he has become so overrated here.
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted October 15, 2019 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?

He also struggles to stay healthy.

It's that I think Mariota is absolute garbage, and have thought that about him since Oregon. He's been dealt a bum hand in Tenn (I believe a different OC every year he's been there). But I never thought he was anything special, or even that good.
BillsfaninChicago Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 No and even the thought of it depresses me.
