From Carlson on Twitter, blessing in disguise if Jaden's hurt, Marioota was outstanding,

they'll be better off with him.

You can't be serious.

You're not the only person, by the way, Carlson, to say that.

Tell me you didn't watch the game without telling me you didn't watch the game.

I mean, I like Marcus Mariotta, and I love the way he runs the zone

reads. He had in the game, what did we say, Max in the break, 21 snaps in the game?

21 snaps, I think we've done four series.

13 of them were horrible. It's not his fault.

He had the same limitations that Jaden had, and he came in, and he wasn't a part of the game plan.

I'm not blaming him, but you can't possibly have watched that game and been like,

who, okay, we got our guy now in Marioada.

Like, did you see the pick six?

Did you see the fourth down in which he missed McCaffrey by about 20 yards?

Wide and right, wide, right, and high?

I mean, I like Mario, and by the way, if he has to play on Monday night or the game after that,

I feel great about him versus a lot of backups.

He is perfect for this situation.

And having a full week, we know he can play still in this system in particular.

And I do like the way he runs the zone reads.

I talked about that.

He is a dual threat quarterback. You is, he's a dual threat quarterback.
