    To mention Mett and Brady in the same column tells me all I need to know about how much BS Climer is spewing.

    He's paid to share his opinion and his opinion has often been totally wrong. His goal isn't to be accurate but to say something shocking enough to get people to read the paper.

    People have been going after Climer for a long time on this board. In all honesty, I am surprised he is even still covering the Titans. I disregard his stuff as soon as I find out it is him.

    Points taken. I didn't really have an opinion on Climer. I read a lot of NFL stuff for other teams and feel like I'm usually pretty good as spotting attention-seeking BS. My initial interpretation of this piece was that Climer must have some sources he trust that are telling him this, but you guys have convinced me that it might be pure fiction.

    I don't think he has much more insight than anyone else, but my gut tells me he is right. I really don't think we are drafting a QB, and I think we want to trade the pick if we can get the right deal. Whiz doesn't like rookies starting, doesn't like working with rookie starting QBs, likely doesn't see Mariota fitting his system, has a guy in Mett that fits his system, showed some success in his system and now knows his system . . . oh and he needs to keep his job this year, as does the GM. With all of those pieces in place, it makes no sense to me that they, in their current position, would take Mariota number 2. I am sure they will role with Mett, and either trade the pick or take Williams if they can't get the right deal.

    If you ask me, I think mett did pretty solid in his starts, it's the supporting cast that mucked it all up, alongside a few rookie mistakes by mett.

    If our o line could have held better, and receivers caught better, we could have beaten the ravens and squeelers last season.

    I was at an applebees in paris texas the night of the pitt game, and I liked what I saw out of mett.

    The only reason we lost that game was because they rammed the ball down our throats, because they knew our run defense was ****.

    And the Baltimore game started out so well, but in true team fashion, the refs bent us over, they injured walker, and everything fell apart from there.

    Just because mett didn't win any games doesn't mean we abandon him, remember that theres 52 other guys on the team who have to do their part, too. Hell, even Joe Montana in his prime wouldn't be able to get wins out of our roster last year.

    I think mett could be another late drafted miracle like Brady, but my expectations aren't that high, but I do believe that when the pieces come together, and the picture, clearer, that he could stand toe to toe with some of the best, it just takes the rest of the offense(besides walker, and lewan) to get their heads out of their asses and stop playing like kids who would rather be somewhere else on Sundays.

    I would be very surprised, not to mention disappointed, if we took a qb high in the draft. Mett showed promise. In my opinion, QB is no longer or biggest concern. Yes, Mett needs work. No-one is saying he's great.......yet.
    But, he is serviceable and deserves a shot, especially considering his potential and performance behind the worst OL in the NFL and possibly would rank middle of the pack compared to any college OL.

    No, he's not our biggest concern. I believe we take Leonard at 2. That's of course unless we get a stupid deal for our pick which lands us several great picks. All the blabber is just that, blabber. These guys get paid to write whether there is something happening or not. If they don't write, they don't get paid. It's all blabber at this point.
