For real. Id like to think a fourth. Dude was a starter and certainly showed flashes. Behind a terrible oline and awful coaching staff. He should be worth a third, but id take a fourth. |

I never saw Mariota have big passing days like Sam had, so to me there is just so much value to keep Sam. There is still so much room for growth & improvement w/ him. We saw this same thing w/ Kirk early in his career. |

I would rather have Sam than Mariota, but they are both solid backups imo. Hopefully Maye or Daniels keep either one of them on the sideline. As far as mentors go Mariota obviously gets the edge so if we hit on a quarterback at 2 Id rather have Mariota. If our quarterback of the future needs a year to sit and learn id rather have Sam. |

I guess maybe they want to move Sam to make Drake comfortable and had to sign a(ny) vet QB.

Re: Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread
This is the only signing I did not like. They wanted Darnold, this was probably the next guy on their list as they obviously need a vet to mentor the rookie. I hope he stays in the QB room, I'd feel better with Howell as the #2 which is why I hope they retain him.

Re: Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread
Soon all of the focus is going to be on getting the #2 pick up and running and ready for the season. Clearly Mariota is going to be the backup, wouldn’t be fair to have Sam inactive on game days. Trade him and let him have a shot elsewhere.
Quinn coached against Sam twice last year, obviously he wasn’t overly impressed. |

Yeah but if I needed a starter this year and the choice was Mariota or Sam Im taking Sam all day. The decision on who to make backup is really dependent on whether the second pick in the draft is ready to roll week one. If he is ill take Marcus the mentor, but if he isn’t I want Sam. Obviously the decision will be made before week one, so I hope to hell the second pick is ready to roll or that somehow Sam is our backup. I do not ever want Mariota taking the field really. |

Not by design. What if he starts week one, and shits the bed though? I hate even typing that but it is always a possibility. I believe all three of them will flourish but …… Ideally Sam gets a chance to start elsewhere, number 2 pans out , and Marcus gets to be a mentor. |

Unless the #2 pick is a complete disaster he’s going to play. |

Re: Commanders 2024 Free Agency Thread
He's not, but I really wished he would. Mahomes rode the pine his entire first year and it did him the world of good.
Same with Rodgers, Rivers, Love, etc....
