If we're in the Mariota business for real we could use a dedicated thread.
Craziness....
I hope Chip Kelly gets uber fleeced after all this.

I just dont see it happening...think this is smoke. FO is probably giving some media peeps some false info.

I'll slit my wrist if we draft another spread run first QB. Probably a smoke screen.

I agree. This Skins-Mariota stuff is either smoke or pointless fodder for the 24 hours news cycle.
The league has caught up with the spread QB who cannot read defenses.
IMO Jason Cole is right when he says that most folks would prefer Bradford to Mariota:

One thing PFT points out, if Scot McC shows up to Oregon Pro Day tomorrow then maybe this has legs. Keim isnt shooting this down, saying this is McC call, not Bruce/not Jay's. You know who's gonna be the most pissed off owner ever if this would happen..??
RG3 would have to be moved immediately as well.

Yep, also because now we (potentially/maybe) burned our 1st round pick on a QB instead of a pass rusher that everyone wants.

SM has to do his due diligence and I'd expect him to be there. The Redskins are trying to get more value for that 5th pick.

I think this is us stirring up trade interest for the No. 5 pick. There isn't many quarterbacks and the jets pick behind us. Seems like it would be one of the spots you may need to jump to. I'm not sure which team would think about it anymore but I still think this is fodder

Hmmm, interesting...Clayton just said that Snyders has been pretty much hands off since the Shanahan days (Sheehan asked him how they could get rid of RG3 and pick Mariota with Snyder).
If the team had made some OL acquisitions (i.e. Bulaga), I'd be okay with this. We're not built right now to support a rookie QB.
