    Has locker really had More bad games then good games as a starter? Last year before his injury he looked lights out and so far this year he has look mostly solid for 6 out of 8 quarters.

    Theres growth there from when he was drafted sure maybe not as much as some want but he hasn't been the terrible . from what I gathered from the game he started terrible then pull himself together and put together a solid second half . to little to late but still improved..

    Im giving him the season

    I don't think people are writing him off so much as just trying to counter the "he's the second coming of Peyton" that some fans are throwing out there.

    After we went through that crap with VY, we don't need to start that again already.

    I think a few are countering the "he's the second coming of Peyton" stuff which is reasonable, but to me it seems that a lot are just trying to write him off because he's a serious threat to Jake and they like Jake. Some laughed when I said this guy was a legit threat but here it is.

    I could see that.

    I'm not writing him off, but would love for him to actually be able to sit and learn for a year. Too many QB's now don't get that luxury.

    Some people are definitely writing him off. "There's a reason he's a sixth round pick".... "You're crazy if you think Mett is the future franchise QB" <--- I've seen numerous comments like that ever since the day we drafted him.

    And maybe I just missed it but I haven't seen anyone even remotely acting like he's the second coming of Peyton. Only that he might be better than Jake. And after what we saw on Sunday I don't see how anyone could call someone crazy for thinking that.

    I'm not saying Mett should start. We're not quite at the point of crossing that bridge. But if Jake has a few more games like he did this past week I think it's a perfectly reasonable conversation to have. If Jake's not "getting it" by the midway point of his 4th season and is still costing us games then it's absolutely time to turn the page in my opinion. He doesn't "deserve" a full season just because his name is Jake Locker and he was once a 1st round pick. Much better and more accomplished QBs than him have been yanked midseason before.

    If it becomes clear that Jake isn't going to lead us to the playoffs then we might as well see what Mett could do. That way this staff can evaluate whether he's worth opening up the competition to next year or if we need to start from scratch.

    I remember the day that Rodney Peete got benched in the first game of the season and the Panthers then went to the Super Bowl. Good times.

    I like Jake and want him to succeed, but I really have my doubts now. As for Mett, the one thing I really noticed in pre-season was his accuracy, something left to be desired with Locker. I liked the throws he could make and am looking forward to seeing how he pans out.

    Idk I don't think our Franchise qb is on this roster.

    Mett played nice in the preseason, against scrubs.

    Did he play against any first team defense yet? Honest question.

    Like I said before, he hasn't even put on pads these first two games, with a injury prone Locker and a back up qb nursing a finger injury.

    I liked the pick tho, if he does become something Whis looks like a genius. If he ends up just being another Rusty, well it was only a 6th round. Low risk high reward type deal.

    Jake is obviously not the one. Atleast for the Titans.

    Clipboard Jesus, I like the addition for what he was. A player that knew the system that could help with the offense. A on the field coach. But that's about it.

    Am I writing Mettenberger off? Yea, I hope I'm wrong but I don't see it.
