    I'm sure you will be able to spin that regardless. More likely 4-12 than 8-8. Unfortunately the team is bad across the board.

    We should be so lucky to have that problem. Whiz hasn't won a single home game for the Titans, and last time I looked neither has Mettenberger. I think Mariota brings a ton of talent to the table as well as a bunch of success. If Whiz adapts to this guy's skills he might end up with a driven QB who can pass the ball and escape trouble with his legs. This fan base needed a serious move, not plugging holes. Losing CJ last year didn't take a 7-9 team to 2-14, a new offense, a new defense and the lack of consistency at QB did (along with our overpaid Swiss cheese offensive line).

    I'm not going to argue that the Titans are a good team. But what option at #2 makes them potentially better in your eyes than Mariota?

    IMO, no one taken at #2 this season is going to make them a playoff contender. It's going to take hitting on Mariota, #33, etc. including some better luck with free agents added in the next couple of seasons.

    Hey I'm pleased with the pick, but don't sign him to his fourth contract before he even wins his first game. He needs a chance to learn and make mistakes without having to shoulder the next 15 years in the process. Just remember, if he wins one game that's one more than Zack gave us. If he stays healthy for a season that will be more than any starting quarterback except Kerry Collins in the history of the team since they've been here.

    He says he is, but time will tell. I believe Whiz can be pretty obstinate, and with that said I'm not sure he understands how to adjust. His rigidity cost a few games last year, and his need to change the team to the degree he did is a concern if he was able to misjudge the situation as badly as he did. I'm not a hater, but I am skeptical until proven otherwise. I hope they make some moves to fix the O line so they can keep Mariota healthy.
