  1. The Titans have found their QBOTF. Roll with him in '15 and beyond.

  2. He's clearly earned the #1 spot going into next season. The Titans can reevaluate after next season.

  3. He's earned the chance to compete for the #1 with a vet or draft pick.

  4. He's a backup so the Titans MUST bring in a vet or draft pick to be #1.

    Sorry, but that's a horribly misleading stat on many levels.

    It doesn't account for the horrible OL, injuries to receivers, poor running game, playing from far behind early in games so making more low-percentage downfield attempts, etc.

    How do you think Mett would look playing for the Patriots, Broncos or any other team with solid players around him?

    I'm not saying he's the QBOTF but I think he's shown enough to go into the offseason as the #1 and is FAR from the biggest issue facing this team right now. And I'm the same guy who thought he was a practice squad development QB when we drafted him.

    So then... is every quarterback stat useless? Because they are all influenced by WRs, O-line, etc. Dismiss this particular one if you want, but Mettenberger is so historically bad that I choose to believe it means something.

    Even if we agree that Mettenberger has been OK, the bigger point is that the Titans will be picking first, second or third (in all likelihood) and will have the opportunity to select a franchise-altering quarterback*. You don't get many shots at a player like that. Mettenberger certainly isn't good enough for the Titans to pass up such an opportunity.


    *I'm not saying that Mariota, Winston or anyone else definitively is such a player, but they might be.

    Yes, every QB stat in and of itself, has to be kept in context of the big picture. Same for every individual player stat. IMO, you judge a young QB a lot more with your eyes than stats.

    Only if you believe such a QB exists. I'm not going to get into discussing that but this franchise could be impacted as much, if not more, by a impact player on defense. For example, I don't think the Titans ever take the next step in '99 without drafting Jevon Kearse. He had that much impact.

    Tennessee Dumpster fires.

    Lordy this team has some terrible luck.

    Mett gets second chance... We blow another chance to draft a QB. Mett gets mauled next season. Injured. The backup? Hoyer! Mark Sanchez! Lol

    We should probably give him a chance and draft 5 starters for the defense. That group is appalling.

    Start off with top rated edge rusher. Next go CB, FS, NT, Lb. Punt returner, kicker.

    That's our draft fellas! We will pic up some scrap heap WRs, maybe a leftover turkey for a Center/Guard. Trade chance Warmack for Alex smith. Qb rotation will go

    First down: Mett
    2nd: Hoyer
    3rd Smith.

    We might even run a four or three man offensive line!

    Defend that! Quad TE set!

    Sorry. This team has really hit an all time low.

    We need defense so badly . Mariota might be best QB coming out but don't think he fits what whiz wants in QB. Why draft a QB with first pick if he doesn't fit your system. That would put us back even more years. We need to be able to stop an offense . Teams all year have marched down the field. They run on us and keep doing it. We stop run then get lit up for 6 TD by Fitzpatrick . That right there tells you where we need help. Mett played well when had OL and WR to help. He played really well against steelers. Our defense could not stop the run. We need defense . Try help offense with FA and defense with draft .
