You need a veteran backup, if you're going to have a rookie QB starting day one. I'm fine with that signing for that reason. Hopefully Mariota won't have to take any meaningful snaps.

Sam barely has a full season under his belt. If you're going to have a high draft pick QB, you need a vet back up to help with their upbringing.
