Zach Mettenberger aiming to be the Titans’ Week One starter

I'm pulling for Locker, I like him and think he has the tools. It's his durability that has been the issue. I want to see him get 16 starts, but that's unrealistic. I could see Mett getting some starts, and yes, he better have this kind of attitude.

I thought he was coming off surgery from Nov that was going to keep him out nearly a year though?

 

This is definitely beating a dead horse. We've already argued what we expect of locker this year. That said, I would really be excited to see Mettenberger out on the field in the regular season.

 

I hope that's true. Week 17 will be the Titan's final game of the season. I hope we've wrapped up the division and a first round bye. We rest some starters and give Met a chance to play.

 

Durability isn't Jake's only issue.

He also can't throw from the pocket. Wildly inconsistent.




Mettenberger better keep his helmet on- even if Jake is healthy.

 

Is it likely that Mett could be the backup and go in for Locker? Didn't we pay Whitehurst a decent bit of money to be a backup? I hope we can find our franchise QB for years to come and I honestly hope it is Mett, but I don't really see him getting playing time this year.

 

Mett is the 3rd guy til his knee is right. He could leapfrog Whitehurst easily, that guy sucks.

 

Stupidly, yes.

When the FO makes a bad decision, I like to refer to them as "They." When they do something good, I refer to them as "we."


So.. yes. I would say THEY paid Whitehurst a decent bit of money to be a backup.

 

I do like the argument that he was, partly, brought in to help inform players on what Wiz likes and some of his terminology... since the staff was unable to prep anyone early on.

Whether true or not, I do appreciate the idea. It is clever.

 

I still don't see a scenario where Locker goes down and Clipboard is the first to trot on the field.

Or at least not for more than clean up duty for the remainder of the game.

If Mett proves to not be completely incompetent, he will be the one playing in the event of an injury.

 

Im sure God forbid jake goes down that Whitehurst is the next man up, but he'll screw up and it'll be Mett's chance.

But none of thats happening cause jake is staying healthy.
