    Perfect. Now trade down and bank up some picks.

    He was no where near the QB jw is. Jw has a way way better arm. Vy was never a elite passer. Vy is much more comparible to mariota on the field. Jw is a pocket passer, he rarely runs.

    I actually don't think you can consider what I'm suggesting doing the same thing over and over again. I think forcing a QB pick as we did with VY or Locker because they were there and we had high picks is exactly what we've done in the past. I'm not going to even pretend to say I know more than our FO does, because as a fan most of us really do not. However what I will say is this, unless they are telling me they are TOTALLY in love with the guy or as another poster said are balls deep into them, then I say pass on them and pick up a guy who definitely is a future a pro-bowler. That's what you have to look for when you are drafting as high as we are. You can't plan to have picks as high as #2 again regardless of how bad you are. It will be a shame and disgrace to waste a pick this high again (reference to VY #3, Pacman #6 [Eventually grew up three teams later], Locker #8). Just imagine, if we had not whiffed on those three top 10 picks and where this franchise could be!

    I'm actually saying the exact opposite of what you said. IMO those three players were reaches. They were big risk high reward type players. We busted on all three top 10 picks we've had this past decade. So yeah I'm saying we should consider taking the safe pick because the riskier picks haven't worked out.

    Chance Warmack was the safe pick. We suck at making those picks too.

    Swing for the ****ing fences.

    Yeah I can see how you say this, but after watching this team breakdown time and time again for over 25 years or so I'm at the end of my ropes with this franchise. You can call it what you want, but when you follow the same team across multiple states, multiple franchises, name changes, stadium changes, and now ownership changes and see no changes in the future that suggest this team will be a competitor even the hardest of fans may break. As my grandparents used to say to me all the time, even iron wears out. Full disclosure I'm not a native of TN or Houston, but have been a die hard fan of this franchise since Warren Moon. So believe me when I tell you I am far from a ban wagon fan if there could ever be a Titans ban wagon fan. You have to ACTUALLY win to have fans hop on your ban wagon. :-/

    The truth of the matter is I'll probably b**** and moan about it and be back watching them the next season, but right now I honestly believe if things aren't done serious changes aren't made. I really may try and see if I connect with another team.

    Whiz is an offensive ego maniac. This means he thinks he can make Mett the man with an offseason and full training camp with him the #1.

    He'll get the OL better along with getting a reliable deep threat and be set on offense in '15.

    Book it.

    Hey if you have to explain it, probably shouldn't be done...But hell if they've been doing it as a team then that's on Coaching. At the end of the day it's about setting an image.

    Not denying what you are saying because that probably is what he was referencing but I bet you more people view that as something else than what you are suggesting unfortunately.

    The pacman pick turned out bad, but I think it was a smart gamble at the time. Vy and locker were stupid picks. Its like pacman was a playing blackjack type gamble and the vy/locker picks were buying powerball tickets. Jw is at least 10× better than the two qbs we've taken.

    JW in regards to talent may be 10x better, but man those maturity issues. I'm scare to death to hand this kid reigns to a franchise and millions of dollars... :-/
