Mariota vs Carr - Does it matter?

[marino2duper73]

After watching Carr all season, then watching Mariota vs Indy, I'm starting to wonder if Mariota will be a bigger challenge than Carr.

Carr stays in the pocket, which bodes well for our blitz packages. Mariota is much more of a threat to extend plays, as we saw last week.

Thoughts on how to gameplan for Mariota?

Carr is more accurate has a better arm.

Mariota can scramble he's kind of like Cam but a little better in passsing.

Mariota seems to leave the pocket early sometimes. He did that in Tenn and Oregon

I think thier defense is so bad it doesn’t matter.

Tua breakout game coming up this week.

Doesn't matter as long as Miami brings it's A game.

Carr constantly checks down too. I think Mariota is more prone to make a crucial mistake.

We need to contain Waller the TE & also play good against there Wr's...Agholor is basically there only weapon on the outside. I do wonder if Ruggs is coming back from Covid against us.

Arizona? KC? Cincinnati?

Arizona? KC? Cincinnati?

I’m talking major breakout game. Like 400+ Yds 3 TDs

Arizona? KC? Cincinnati?

Arizona has a good secondary.(Baker,Peterson +Reddick has been a beast for sacks)

KC has pro bowlers on defense.

My concerns are Mariota and Waller. Waller is a beast, Rowe will have his hands full.

don't think either one can handle our Defense right now. doesn't matter if it's Carr or Mariotta on their end or Tua and Fitz, our D & Special Teams continues to win games for us.

Rowe did not match up well against Kelce but also Van Noy was injured that game. Lets see what happens against Waller with both healthy.

Carr is over-rated to hell and an emotional yo-yo who occasionally plays well (at some point Gruden will probably say enough). I actually think that Mariota is potentially more dangerous with his ability to run. Marcus is effectively playing for a job somewhere in 2021. He needs to play well to show what he can do when given the opportunity. He's actually the sort of backup QB that Miami could consider, especially with the Tua - Hawaiian - Samoan heritage connection.

Mariota I think will be more difficult to defend, as we struggle more against dual threat QB’s than pocket passers like Carr. That said, I do think Mariota might be more prone to turn it over. I think I would rather face a hobbled Carr than a healthy Mariota, but both are beatable if we keep the intensity up.
