Hogs Haven on Marcus Mariota

Mariota's MCL sprain and turnover history limit backup QB reliability.

Marcus Mariota, ranked as a Tier 1 'Get You Through a Month' backup QB, is characterized as a Tyrod Taylor 2.0—a former competent-enough starter who has spent years as a somewhat-mobile, oft-injured backup. Mariota relieved Jayden Daniels multiple times last year before suffering an MCL sprain that forced the Commanders to turn to Josh Johnson. The source notes that Mariota threw an overtime interception to lose a 16-13 game to the Dolphins last year, which doesn't help his 'bad situation' or 'heady game manager' arguments.
