QB Marcus Mariota, WAS (4 Viewers)

[Jakey]

I can't think of another backup level QB that managed to start for so long.

Ryan Fitzpatrick made a 17 year career of it.

Good call

Fits as a starter 59-87-1
Mariota as starter 34-40

The Athletic's Bo Wulf writes Marcus Mariota "is probably the best bet" to be Philadelphia's No. 2 quarterback.​

"If the goal is to find a No. 2 quarterback who would allow the quarterback-inclusive run game to continue being a big part of the offense," Wulf writes before landing on Mariota. Mariota was also a Titan when quarterbacks coach Alex Tanney was still in the league as Mariota's teammate. It's a plausible move that makes sense on its face as the Eagles will need a new No. 2 to replace impending free agent Gardner Minshew.

Eagles signed QB Marcus Mariota to a one-year, $5 million contract.​

The deal is worth up to $8 million with incentives. Mariota has strong ties to Philly — Eagles TE coach Jason Michael was Mariota's offensive coordinator in Tennessee and QB coach Alex Tanney is a former teammate. Mariota replaces Gardner Minshew as the backup to Jalen Hurts after starting 13 games for Atlanta. Adding Mariota ensures the Eagles will have one of the better backup situations in the league behind Hurts, who missed two games last year.

Despite Marcus Mariota's preseason struggles, Nick Sirianni isn't open to QB2 competition

 

[General Malaise]

He was, uh.....ungood last night.

 

[RenegadeRoy]

After watching The Quarterbacks, it just seems like this guy doesn't really care about the game at all or at least doesn't anymore. Just zero fire.

NFL Network’s Eric Edholm believes Marcus Mariota might not make the Eagles’ 53-player roster.

Rookie QB Tanner McKee has made a compelling case to be Jalen Hurts’ backup this preseason, and his solid play has been noticed by Eagles coaches, including Nick Sirianni. Mariota, meanwhile, has continued his disastrous play from last season in Atlanta. It’s difficult to imagine the Eagles would be comfortable starting the fading veteran if Hurts were to miss time again in 2023. It’s a situation to monitor for fantasy managers in deep superflex formats.
