    There was a guy on Music City Miracles in the comment section posting about Mariota and the number 520 was in his name. Was just curious.

    Good article from Peter King

    The Titans received no big offers for Marcus Mariota at the No. 2 pick | The MMQB with Peter King

    The Eagles, as Kelly said Thursday night in Philadelphia, never offered players as part of a package to obtain Mariota. In fact, The MMQB learned Thursday night that Kelly never offered the widely rumored packages of either three first-round picks or two first-round picks and Sam Bradford, in an attempt to obtain the second pick of the draft. I can tell you this much is true: The Titans basically scared off suitors because they continually told teams they wanted to take Mariota, and it would take a stupid offer to obtain the pick. In the end, Tennessee GM Ruston Webster and coach Ken Whisenhunt stuck to their guns.

    The most misleading storyline of the Mariota/Titans marriage: that Whisenhunt wanted a big, strong pocket passer, and the mobile Mariota wasn’t Whisenhunt’s cup of tea. “People got too locked into that, and it wasn’t true,” Whisenhunt said from the Titans’ draft bunker north of Nashville Thursday night. “I said it all along—he excited me. I really wanted him. In the end, it wasn’t a difficult decision to stay at two and pick Marcus.”

    I didn't want Mariota. I wanted Leo Williams. So I have concerns like the rest of you who question the selection for the same reasons you mention.

    But there is no denying that the #1 thing which will make the Titans relevant again is a quality QB. Mett, IMO, didn't show enough last season to pass on Mariota in the eyes of a desperate franchise.

    I agree with that....and I am done complaining about the trade thing (pointless conversation at this point....just another event to file in my Webster file), so fingers crossed here.

    Well I agree that. Except the number 1 thing that will make us relevant is winning regardless of what type of team it is that is doing the winning.

    And like I admitted before, I wanted vy and was okay with locker pick so that's probably a good sign for mariota being a good qb

    Like most of us I don't like the fit with the offense but come on I'm surr Mariota and whiz will find a way to make it work.Both of them are smart.

    I'm not gonna hate on Mariota like I did on vy or Jake I'm tired of that I'm gonna support this guy not because of him but for the titans.
