Who Should The Starting QB Be To Open The 2012 Season?

There's a difference between being supportive, and then being irrationally supportive.


Jake Locker activists are the latter.

But this base has had a boner for any player they announce is drafted by the Titans and always seems to think they're the next god of football.

 

DW preaching on being rational is like a fatty teaching a health seminar.

Makes no damn sense

 

That's all I am.

The voice of reason here.

Think of all the times you guys thought I was trolling only to later find out "oh god. He was right the whole time."

Not a coincidence.

 

I loved the guy well before we drafted him. What's not to like? Great arm, great athleticism, great character, smart, good leader... I was thrilled that he went from being the presumptive #1 pick one year to falling to us at #8 the next year.

He's all the positives of Vince Young with a good attitude and a brain. Does he have flaws, sure. But unlike Vince, and most elite talents, I believe he will work his butt off to correct them.

I firmly believe that if we don't win a super bowl in the locker era, it is an organizational failure... that guy will pull his weight. And I'm thrilled to see that we seem to be committed to putting quality pieces around him. With a little luck, this should be a Packers/Saints/Patriots caliber offense in the next few years.

 

I really wish Locker would have gotten a number other than 10, but I am really high on Locker. He is like the anti Vince. Like the more you throw at him the harder he will try. I am excited to see him on the field when its his time.

 

I agree....I was not a fan of him selecting number 10. Too many painful memories.

 

The voice of reason? More like the voice of always wrong. You missed on your prediction with every pick of last year's draft. Literally every pick.

Keep tooting your own horn while everyone continues to laugh at you. Great entertainment.

 

WHAT?!

PLEASE... please inform me on what picks I missed on...

Floor is yours.


I'll be waiting.

 

And guys, don't get it twisted...

I really like Jake Locker. I think he's going to be a solid starter- however, you guys already crowning him as Brett Favre 2.0 are hilarious.
There's plenty of time. He'll be our starter for years. There's no need to rush him if he's not developed. Maybe he has improved enough over the offseason, but as of last season- he wasn't good enough to start.

Until he shows us he's good enough to start (even in preseason), he shouldn't just get the nod because some fickle fans are antsy about a high draft pick.


Give him time. He probably needs it.

This is what you guys did with VY too. You just HAD to have him starting. Anyone with half a brain knew he wasn't ready, but you were so excited. Then he showed you a few little highlights in a few games and it escalated... You thought he was going to be greatness, ignoring all the flaws that still existed in his game.

Then... the moment he doesn't live up to your irrational sense of expectations? You crucify the guy.

Just saying... don't do the same thing with Locker.

We have a starting QB that played very well. Don't let your 13 year old-like fandom ruin this.
