FF makes a good point here. JD is a mobile QB that has improved in taking less-impactful hits as compared to the first Tampa game. However, with that said, a better backup that could run the offense should be a priority for WHEN, not if, JD gets nicked.

Mariotta was the only concern I had after after yesterday's game. Not asked to do anything of import, and did less than that. A little insurance at this point would not be a bad idea.

Yes agree. It has been a pleasant surprise, even more so than how great JD already is.

Mariotta is coming off an injury, which why it was probably nice that he got some snaps. He was probably shaking the rust off a bit.

Re: Month Straight of Victories Post-game Thread

Mariota is a 'more than serviceable' QB2. Ideally, we don't see him on the field much this year, but that was a great opportunity to get him some snaps.

The way JD is playing, no one is going to come in and do what he does. There will be a drop off at that position (obviously). However, if DQ can get Mariota some game snaps when these opportunities arise, that will help.

Re: Month Straight of Victories Post-game Thread

I'd rather Sam Hartman be QB2 and keep Mariota as essentially a 2nd QB coach for the young guys. Mariota just isn't very good.

I am pretty sure Sam Hartman is 4th on the QB depth chart behind Driskel.

Marcus is much better equipped than Sam to come in - in a pinch, and move the offense.

If there had been a true QB competition, then Driskel would be the backup QB.

Why? Because of his career 58% completion percentage or his 1 - 10 record as a starter?

Don't think so. Sure, he looked fairly good in the preseason vs 2s, 3s, and dudes currently stocking the shelves at Costco, but the sample size is there to understand who the better QB is between Driskel & Mariota.

Re: Month Straight of Victories Post-game Thread

The thought of JD not starting is such a hideous, nauseating thought I don't want to think about it. Kid is such a stud. Sure a plan is in place if necessary. I see arguments for all the backups honestly.
