    Finally, I'll get some use out of all22


    We should fully expect some growing pains.

    The concern is, we very well may not have the chance to draft a franchise QB.. We may not be bad enough to land Mariota, and the FO is likely terrified of Winston, as they should be. Cook? Not at 5-10, wayyyy too early.. and he may not be there in the 2nd..

    Obviously the best case scenario is Mett runs away with this job.. FO is praying for that surely, and we all should be too.

    Yep. I'm sure the anti-Mett crew will be calling for his head after the first bad throw.

    This is such exciting news for me as a Titans fan. This season has evicted very little emotion out of me, I don't get excited for Sundays anymore, etc.. And now I am! REALLY looking forward to seeing Mettenberger this Sunday.

    A lot of ppl talking about 6th round pick, Rusty Smith, etc.. Don't get it twisted, ya'll know Mett was a top 100 prospect, a 2nd, 3rd round talent at WORST.. I actually made a strong case for drafting him during the summer in my QB evaluation thread. I was very ecstatic to land Mett where we did. He was #5 ranked QB after the obvious 4.

    Now I admit I'm not sure this is the best game for him to start his Titans career.. The bye next week, he could have really prepared (but I also understand giving him the bye to watch actual footage of his first start).. I worry about Watt/Clowney going up against our awful OL, Mett holding onto the ball too long.. The offensive game plan this week has to be to get the ball out quickly. 3 step drop, throw..

    At the same time, no point in us "protecting" him from starting vs certain/good teams. Need to see what he's got, and we're about to get a big body of work, which is what we absolutely need. Surely there'll be ups and downs, but the point is we have nothing to lose, and we need to know what we've got!!

    Mett show!!!

    And let's not forget Mariota is pretty far from a sure thing himself. I agree we should all be rooting for Mett to work out.

    I think you just gotta use the eye test with him. You'll either see that franchise potential in him or you won't.

    Mett is as big as Clowney and Watt, let them loose on him, he's mobile in the pocket.
