Just shut him down. Playoffs are out of reach, and let’s see what Mariota can do for a couple of games.

He actually looked pretty good last night having not played a snap for over a year. But I get that kind of thing can happen when a defense has prepared for a completely different type of QB.

Agreed he needs to be shutdown. We will be officially eliminated on Sunday, and playing Carr does nothing for us. We can play Mariota for two games and see what we have, because he was rather impressive against the Chargers. We could end up recycling him for a 4th Round pick or so, or even a possible QB controversy if he balls out of control, and uses Ruggs the way he is supposed to be used.

Should just not risk it and shut down for the year. Season's over and I'd rather see how Mariota does these games. 

Not for trade bait either. Backup QB is somehow still terribly overlooked and if you have a guy that can step in and do well in the system you do everything within reason to keep him.

It's not that serious if it's only a 10-14 day recovery time. Groin pull are very similar to hamstring issues and those usually have a 3 week-ish timeline for recovery with NFL medical staffs.

A normal person pulls their groin/hammy and it's a 5-8 week recovery IF you don't reinjure it

Mariota has a noodle arm and has no down field accuracy. He can run around so people will overvalue him bc that's what happens with athletic QBs. We need to hope Carr can recover for next season. Our offense was on point majority of the season and if we had anything that resembled a defense, we'd be in contention for the division.

Maybe he's improved his downfield accuracy a bit, or can improve? He made an awesome deep throw to Waller in stride in the game against the Chargers.
