How about we cut Mariota and sign Philly’s own Matt Ryan?
Mariota looked really disinterested in football on that QB documentary and has looked disinterested and untalented since camp opened.
Matty Ice isn’t starter material, but would be an upgrade.
Anyone?

He didn't look too good in Indy.

From what I've read that "didn't look too good in Indy" could still be better than we've seen from Mariota in pre season.

Problem is money. Ryan will definitely want more than any other backup. And, honestly, can he run this type of offense? He has never been very mobile and he's even less so now.

Problem is Rick, I don’t know how many capable backups there are that can run this offense.
Have many more conventional QBs that are available.

Also, I'd rather not put too much money into the backup position. I mean, if Hurts goes down, odds are the season goes down no matter who is the backup. Spend that money on other positions of need.

3rd Stringer has looked good.

There's no question that Hurts has all the makings of difference maker. But I think it's also about the coaches and their ability to reinvent the offense if needed. Like Doug did with Foles. There's not going to be another Hurts or close or else he'd already have a job. They have a top OL and top receivers. I think a guy like McKee could possibly trump Ryan's experience with having a purpose, but I hope Mariota manages to be good enough. I think Ryan's too old.
