Am I the only one rooting for Carr to play Saturday? Dolphins will struggle more vs a mobile Mariota who's out to prove he's worthy of a starting spot for a team next year.

Will be interesting to watch up until gameday.
 
He aint playing with a pulled groin a week after injuring it. The Raider's secondary is garbage and they have nobody to throw the ball to except Waller.
 
This narrative that Mariota is a tougher matchup than Carr is a flawed one imho.

Carr, when completely healthy this season, has probably put some of his best tap on film to date. He has not been part of the problem for Vegas this season.

Now coming off a groin, who knows...

But we should hope Mariota is the QB.

Furthermore, Mariota might have had stats last week. But when rewatching the tape I noticed accuracy issues coming up regularly.

Plus the Chargers have an extremely vanilla scheme in general and did not game plan for him.

If we can stay disciplined in our pass rush and are assignment sound against the zone read this means trouble for Marcus.

He has always had issues when asked to be a true pocket passer.

If we can accomplish this and disguise coverage pre-snap (which the Chargers never do) our secondary should feast.

It's actually great we just played Cam.

Feeling very confident in this one....

Healthy Mariota versus banged up groin Carr is a toss up.

Healthy Mariota versus healthy Carr, give me Mariota on Saturday.
 
I would much rather face Mariota. As our defense has gelled, running QBs have hurt us less. So, I'm always going to prefer facing the lesser passer... and that is Mariota.

If he tries to run on us Elastic Roberts may have something for him.

Who is the back up's back up?
