Marcus Mariota To Remain Starter
2 years agoAtlanta Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota doesn't appears in danger of losing his starting job. It sounds like the team plans to continue starting Mariota as long as the Falcons are in the playoff hunt. The 29-year-old has done a find job considering the lack of talent around him. However, the team might move on to rookie Desmond Ridder if they fall out of the playoff picture. It was reported earlier in the year that the Falcons didn't plan on using Ridder this season. Although, plans change, so we'll see if Ridder gets a chance late in the season. For now, the Falcons will continue to ride with Mariota as long as they continue to be competitive. Mariota is an interesting streaming option for the Week 11 matchup against the Chicago Bears. A defense that was torched by Tua Tagovailoa a few weeks ago.
