Marcus Mariota | QB | Age: 26
Some are willing to give Mariota a chance because of his age, potential and the fact that he dealt with a new offensive coordinator in just about every season he played. Those factors do bode well in an argument for Mariota, but Colts fans know better than most the type of quarterback he really is.
Oft-injured and inaccurate for the majority of his time with the Titans, Mariota might fit well in the West Coast scheme of Frank Reich. Mariota doesn’t like to push the ball downfield and when he does, he’s inconsistent as a passer. He often drops his eyes when evading the pocket and while he’s tabbed as a mobile quarterback, he rarely puts up consistent rushing numbers.
Mariota might be a nice project for a team that already has a starter in place, but the Colts are still figuring out who their quarterback is. Best not to sign another one that brings just as many question marks.
