I found our QB, and it is not anyone you would think....

My hope with Mariota is that some teams don't consider him a fit for their Offense. While he has taken strides forward as a pocket passer this year, he's not ready to play in a traditional style Offense. Teams who are not running a Chip style read option type Offense won't be able to expect much from him year one. Not every team has the coaching staff needed to switch over their Offense to accommodate that style of play. To take a player like Mariota and try to make him into a drop back passer doesn't make much sense unless you plan on sitting him for a couple of seasons while he learns. Teams today don't really sit 1st round QB's like Green Bay did with Rodgers ... so maybe he slips into that 5-10 range where we can make that move up without having to sell the farm.

My hope is an injury that drops him in the draft.....awful I know, but it's our only shot.

What do you guys think about Garrett Grayson, QB, Colo.St.?
6-2, 220. Seems to be pretty accurate passer with some mobility.
Probably a 4th/5th round prospect.

I have to think 2 years is enough to decide if Barkley is a capable backup. At this point he either gets bumped to #2 or he is gone.
