Falcons QB Marcus Mariota has left the building(leaves team after being benched)

[C.Biscuit97]

Is the guy that oblivious to his crappiness? They literally won’t throw the ball to 2 top 10 pick players because he was so bad.

 

crazy part is if they had even an average qb, they might have won that division. I’m interested to see what DR does.

Why?

 

Career earnings of $76.5M. He's playing journeyman vet duties to help bridge a team. Wife has a new baby, and you're told you're benched. I'd probably stay home with the family too.

Maybe after a few weeks with the family, he will regret that brady style. 😈

Oh my! This could affect FF!

Honestly, falcons receivers can’t be any worse without him

Remember when McD benched Tyrod in favor of Nathan Peterman when we were in the middle of the playoff hunt? 

 

Yes per recommendation of OC since P5t5rman could run his offense but Tyrod could not.  That stance likely cost him his job.

But at least Peterman threw the dang ball

To some throwing to DBs is better than not throwing to them but to each his own.

Since Tyrod refused to throw the ball we will never know.

Such a great, but perfectly Billsy, season. The one year we're not trying to win so we can grab a QB next year, and we break the drought and make the playoffs. 🤣

something to ponder - if we would’ve won that playoff game @JAX, would we still move up to where we did in order to draft Allen?  Would he have fallen to whatever spot Beane was comfortable trading up to with, say, the 26th or 27th overall pick?

Amazing, a QB who never threw the ball.  Did he bribe someone to get the stats for throws he got?

Tyrod was certainly not risk taking but the exaggeration does not strengthen your argument.

Go back and watch some of his games and tell me how many times you say "Throw the ball, throw the ball."

What a great teammate...was told he was being benched and got up and left the building apparently. Has also not given the team or coaches any indication of if or when he will return.

He's getting benched because he has sucked. Dude has made Kyle Pitts invisible in the offense before getting hurt after he had 1000+ yards as a rookie TE.  That's unacceptable.  It would be like Mahomes making Kelce invisible in KC's offense.

Unless there are extenuating circumstances this is a poor decision on his part.

You blame the QB if the player isn’t open or dropping balls?

[Airseven]

Mariota was a one year stop-gap QB. They’re in tank mode now. This is all fine.

[Ramza86]

Dont really understand what he is irate about.

 

Was it not obvious that he would be replaced by the rookie as soon as the team is out of contention?

 

Did he need to be told that?

 

Lol
