” If I’m ever going to be great on 3rd down…. I have to get the ball to Pitts .” ….. Fixed it for you bum

    Ferball

    Lmao

    Odseus

    If only pitts could run routes…

    Gabri Tigner

    Lol dude you was just screaming Qb1 a few weeks ago stop it🤣 y’all kill me

Tigris Dunn

I think what Marcus meant to say was, I will be stepping down so our rookie can take over

    Mark Kamoku

    @Chris HillCalvin Ridley is the example. Look into his reasons of walking away from the league last year to start gambling, now suspended for it. Tom Brady bought his rings, caught cheating many times. Went to court for it. Facts and conspiracy big difference.

    Melatainment

    U are a Saints fan

    Tigris Dunn

    @Melatainment if I was a saints fan I wouldn’t be here now would I, fighting you have the rookie who’s clearly better option start? Bunch of special Ed kids have landed in my comment

    Chris Hill

    @Tigris Dunn or we atleast know what we have or what Atlanta saw in him to draft dude. I get we’re still in the hunt in a crappy division, however imo this season is over. Even if we pulled a rabbit’s foot outta our keister the first playoff game would more than likely end our season making for a deeper draft pick when this team needs alot more help than just at the qb position. Knowing what we have or don’t in Ridder would help moving forward. If everyone’s honest Mariota was signed to start until Ridder was ready or he played so well that keeping him at qb was a no brainer. Can’t stay stuck on the several out of this world plays Mariota makes every game over his inconsistencies and bad decisions. Not implying you’re stuck js. I dont believe Ridder will give us a better chance to win however looking into the future which Ridder was drafted to be letting him start now with no expectations imo would better suit a rookie qb. We’ve had 4 seasons out of the last 12 above .500 hate to throw another season away due to inadequate qb play. When we have 7 games left to get a fair evaluation. Then either draft or free agency sign to help Ridder or go get another qb. Free agency is looking bland last time I looked good o-line help tho.

    My bad we’re on the same page dude you responded to first must must have deleted his comment i dont see it. I thought your response was to your original post. And the person responding was saying whoopty damn doo he’s had one bad game. I stopped reading after that. Lol apologies

    Chris Hill

    @Mark Kamoku tremendous difference in gambling, cheating and rigging the entire league.

ManInAmerica

Arthur, this guy is NOT a quarterback! He is an emergency 3rd string at best. What a screwed up organization. They have a quarterback who played 4 years in college and was way above average, HE IS READY, what else do you need to see???

    Garrett Heffner

    @Plants Health and Taste Still you have to admit that QB is a problem for this team. Recently Mariota has been making questionable decisions like throwing the ball up for grabs while on his back, and his accuracy especially deep is hit or miss. We want to see what we have in the rookie as soon as possible because Mariota is obviously not a long term solution

    Tree

    I agree he’s not a starting QB, but the dude is a very good backup let’s not get it twisted

    Plants Health and Taste

    @Garrett Heffner but we dont see ridder at practice , if he was close to ready Arthur smith would play him , ive seen kenny pickett get beat up behind his line , atlanta’s not much better, dont let ridder get his confidence destroyed , let mariota take the beaten and learn from his mistakes , build the trenches and get a Veteran center for Ridder this offseason

    Garrett Heffner

    @Plants Health and Taste That still doesn’t really fix our problem at QB because we don’t know if Ridder can be the long term solution or not. After all he was a 3rd round pick for a reason. Ideally, we should know if we want to make a move for a QB, draft or otherwise, going into next season

    Plants Health and Taste

    @Garrett Heffner most Great Qb’s arent top 10 picks hell most not even 1st round i dont get caught up in rounds , if hes a baller doesnt matter the round he was picked

John St. Clair

Hey Marcus, go out and kill it on Sunday. And be the winner that you are.

None None

I love Marcus Mariota! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    P.T. Cornelius

    Why? He’s trash. So what exactly do you like?

Westley Holladay

He has to make better decisions and hold on to the ball this is his last chance to be a starter

    Melatainment

    Ok mr Saints fan

    Westley Holladay

    @Melatainment okay cowboy fan

    Westley Holladay

    Westley Holladay

    Westley Holladay

    @SFC Bolted Duck don’t cry

Ontario Smith

We’re still behind you Marcus!!! Let’s go QB1!!! Already!! Dirty Bird’s Fo Life!!

Nick bagnulo

Get it together marcus

Tyler Elms

Go Mariota! Get some big throws and get that offensive player of the week badge like a few weeks ago so the haters shut up for a week.

    Odseus

    Hell Yeah!

Kaimi Haina

Hawks bebeh! Less gooo Braddah Marcus!

JeremyDaMan

MARCUS YOU HAVE WELL BEYOND EXCEEDED EVERYONES EXPECTATIONS!!!!!! LETS GET THIS DUB🅰️

Lettuce Preey Sports

Hiding your QB on offense is a recipe for disaster…

It is OK to THROW THE BALL OUT OF BOUNDS!!!

But plain and simple you’re not the guy…lack arm talent, lack good decision making and lack the leadership.

Melatainment

Real fans support all the players. Everyone who doesn’t are Saints fans.

Melatainment

I continue to apologize Marcus because Atlanta fans are generally pathetic and don’t support the team.

Daily Gifts

Very pleased Marcus, a QB that has the courage to admit his skills need work always helps develop to the ALL PRO. Matt Ryan went through the same process, exchanging pride for progress… good job pal. Keep working like a master student… always improving towards perfection and understanding, to be the best on any field. To the ALL PRO.

    Melatainment

    Our offensive line needs to get better

Lil_V839 Nicholas V

I know ive been harsh on this man. I let the bad plays get to me and i do apologize. I know he is still trying to get a hang of being the QB1 again. Just wish we had a better O-line for him.

Gabri Tigner

Tbh I think it’s about watching Marriotta and Ridder learning what not to do🤣 terry is giving Arthur a chance with Mariotta before Ridder takes over kind of like an experiment

ryanadonis

The problem is he has no confidence in taking shots or passing the ball. Taylor Lewan said himself that Ryan Tannehill provided more athleticism and better passes than Mariota. Mariota needs to stop acting so sleepy and careful when he gets the snap. He needs to have urgency and go.

Jorge Pavon

Ridder should get snaps especially if we are loosing

90's BaBiez, Tribute Band

Don’t blame yourself , statr blaming others
