    Nobody is expecting Mett to come in a light the scoreboards up, we fully expect to take our lumps with him. Mett is not your typical 6th round pick his draft stock fell due to his ACL/character.

    If Mett can show any kind of promise we go from having to draft a 1st round QB to have the option to wait until the 2nd round QB to compete. Why wait until week 16-17 to wait him play meaningless games.

    Every game left on the schedule is meaningless.

    Here is the thing. If this was 2008, then I would be all over the CBJ band wagon ... meaning, if we had an elite Defense and an elite running game (or hell, even a good D and good running game) then CBJ would be exactly what we need. A QB that can limit his mistakes and manage the game. Honestly we probably could've won the SB with CBJ that year.


    BUT this is far from 2008. We have a below average running game and a below average defense. This team would benefit SOOOO much more from a QB that could make plays, even if that same QB was making more mistakes that CBJ is now.


    Sure CBJ doesn't throw a lot of ints, and has a decent comp %, but how many times do we go 3 and out with him? How many times do we punt with him? ... Alot. How many big plays do we get from him? ... not a lot.


    Sure Mett is boom or bust ... If we insert Mett, he will most likely throw more ints than CBJ would. But he would also have a lot more big play potential. What is really the difference between going 3 and out with CBJ, and throwing an int with Mett? ... not much difference really. Either way we give the ball to the other team.


    The difference between Mett and CBJ is that we don't have much big play ability with CBJ. Mett might have a drive where he throws an int, then have a drive where he looks phenomenal and drives the team for a TD ... whereas CBJ will just go 3 and out, 3 and out, 3 and out ... if we are lucky, he might string together a few of 1st downs in one drive.

    Our offense is hurting our whole team. We can run the ball take away the penalties. We need a QB who can make plays.

    We need to find out if Mett can be that QBir not so we can go forward. Heck Washington changed QBat halftime yesterday. Why can't we.

    On passes over 10 yds, #Titans QB Charlie Whitehurst was 3-9, 66 yards, 1 TD/1 INT vs Redskins. Had rating of 27.1 under pressure, per @pff

    There you go #RollTide that is why Whitehurst is a garbage QB.

    After reading a lot of posts today, I think it's safe to stop calling the Jags the worst team in the league and claim that spot for ourselves. We all know that we should of lost that game with the Jags last week.

    With the CBJ talk, Whiz has to know that he needs to do something with the QB situation whether that's starting Mett or just going with Locker when he gets healthy again. We have 2 undeniable truths here: 1. CBJ is a life long stop gap backup QB that needs to stay a backup, and 2. Locker is done with the Titans.

    So, that leaves us with the unknown, Mett. I still say we start Mett now since we know options 1 and 2 are done regardless if they stay on the team or not after this season.

    and locker won't be back next year. Yes he is cheap and he has work ethic and can run and strong arm, he is a tease. Everybody wants (wanted) him to be the man. He just can't do it.

    Problem with us is it's going to have to get worse for it to get better. The Jags if nothing else are going to start improving as Bortles grows. We're not even at that point, we're worse off ATM.
