    IMO, we still don't really know what we have with Mariotta. Signs look good but I would definitely not be in favor of trading Mett this season. We have had bad luck with QB injuries and it makes me feel much better knowing we have a good backup in case Mariotta either fails or gets injured.

    This also helps to illustrate my biggest problems with Mett .. I bring up the 0-6 alot, but really I think it all goes back to his inability to pick up 1st downs last year.

    Last year, teams averaged 20 1st downs per game. NO was 1st with 24.7 1st downs per game ... Raiders were last with 15.5 per game.

    With Mett starting, we only had 14.6 1st downs per game ... good enough to be last

    With Locker (19.6) we were at least about in line with the league average.

    I really just don't see any team that would want to trade much for this ... I get that Mett has looked good in preseason, he has a strong arm and shows some NFL qualities, but he has not put any of it together yet.

    True, I guess I didn't think of him because when he was 'a hot commodity' he signed with SEA as an FA.

    But you are right, the Raiders did trade a 5th round pick and conditional pick for him ... but he really wasn't on anyone's radar at that point anymore.

    As close to a sure thing as there is, he ain't failing. Injuries should be the only concern, but that goes for everyone...

    I hope you are right, but I need to see a bigger sample size and in real games before I make that call. Maybe I'm just really cynical when it comes to Titans quarterbacks since most of them turn out to be either busts or injury prone.

    After watching Jake Locker go down every year, why get rid of Zack? We may need him. Now if some team wants to sell the farm to get him, sure, but that's not going to happen.

    Also I believe Ryan Mallett was traded by the Patriots to the Texans for a 7th round pick last year.

    ya..with influence from whiz..just like whiz has influence in every other draft pick just like munch did.

    Webster doesn't trade up for a player the coach hasn't expressed interest in.
