    Marcus Mariota is a major project, and a big risk, for the Titans | The MMQB with Peter King

    That the Titans would so quickly relegate Mettenberger to backup duties suggests they’re prepared to adjust their system totally for Mariota. (Or it suggests the Mariota pick was actually made by ownership.) And no matter what the system, the inherent demands of NFL quarterbacking will require Mariota to make adjustments of his own.

    Hmm glad I'm not the only one who thought this

    Good read, and is why I wanted Williams instead. I wanted nothing to do with another mobile QB. I wanted someone with a strong accurate arm, like Mett. That would make the pass rush, and overall D much improved.

    That said, I understand why they picked Mariota. They swung to the fences and are hoping for the best. The pick was made, so I'm getting behind it since there's no other choice. Should he go down, at least we have a solid backup.

    Somewhere along the way we got this notion that the ability to run disqualifies you from being good at things not related to running.

    The relegated Mett so quickly because he is a sixth round pick who sucks.

    Mett has a strong arm. For a pocket QB though, he is lacking in the accuracy department.

    It could suggest also based on that article that someone from his mold is due to being able to dominate both in the pocket and as runner. He's correct not even Russell Wilson is there.

    I think the one thing he has above all those other quarterbacks is intelligence, instincts and the work ethic not to mention determination to get it right. I'm banking on him.

    I guess there is a first time for everything. I'm definitely looking forward to it all shaking out.

    Probably one reason I'm so negative bout mariota is I just don't wanna let myself get even a Lil excited cuz I'm tired of being letdown by qb's. Its like my heart keeps getting broken and I can't let myself love again.

    I understand...

    You could be on to something. But I think the inner being of Marcus is going to drive him to success. He's not just any ordinary Joe. At least from this perspective.
