    Last year we saw a friendship blossom (no matter how douchey, a friendship non the less) between our 2014 first round pick and a 6th round QB many feel could/should be the Titans face of the franchise.

    Flash forward a year later, Titans select Marcus Mariota #2 overall.

    Taylor Lewan was asked during the Titans caravan trip about how he feels about the Titans selecting a new QB slated to start and be the cornerstone for the team.

    Mettenberger to 'fight it out' with Mariota, Lewan says

    Just wondering if anyone here besides me feels that Lewan, will give a half assed effort while MM is in getting first team reps and give it his all to help his boyfriend best friend appear better in camp.

    It may appear he gave praise to Marcus, but it also feels like his comments were slightly backhand comments. "I've never seen the guy play." Sure you haven't...

    I really hope the guy is strictly all business. But after the LP event he went to Zach's to what I would assume is probably reassure his boy. Among other things and the fact he just comes off as one of the douchiest people, I can't really give him the benefit of the doubt.

    I knew he would be upset with the Mariota pick.

    He and Mett can still jerk each other off even with Mett as the backup though... so not sure why he's so upset.

    Also, FYI. I'm not a Mett hater or Mariota enthusiast or anything like that. I personally was hoping for Leonard, but now we have Mariota. I hope he can help elevate the teams play.

    It really is a curious question, because I have been apart of organized teams where a close relationship really does affect how they play w/ other teammates.

    ie - QB/WR best friends, QB would throw to his buddy double covered even though other players would be open.

    knew 3 dudes whenever they were on the court together pretty much just played 3-5 and would even get chewed out for it when it happened.

    Granted those were middle school/high school days. You'd figure an adult who gets paid millions wouldn't do something like that, but you never know.

    I don't think it will be an issue, but let me put it this way:

    If Mariota doesn't show up and immediately show everyone, including Lewan, why he was picked 2nd and Mett was picked in the 6th, we might have bigger problems on our hands.

    I suspect that Mariota will outplay and outwork Mett to the point that even Mett knows he is a backup.

    Yea what's up with that poll question lol...

    Anyways, Lewan isn't a dumb ass, this isn't remember the Titans, our guys block for whoever is at QB, if they don't it's not for a lack of trying

    Not doing his job, regardless of QB, will get him relegated to the bench and cost him money in the future. I doubt he let's this affect him. And I'm sure he'll be buddy-buddy with Mariota soon enough.

    It better not affect his blocking for MM. I'd hate to think that would even be an issue but you never know. Lewan and Mett both come off as a couple of overgrown manchildren. They're not the most mature dudes around but I really hope that Taylor does his best even when his sister is riding the pine.
