    Titans beat writer Jim Wyatt just put out an article he's calling "Five Titans looking good in OTAs", where he lists off QB Marcus Mariota, RB Bishop Sankey, CB Perrish Cox, LB Zach Brown, and OLB J.R. Tavai as players he's taken notice of during the first half of OTA's.

    Im a big believer in the idea of; "
    if you dont have a QB you have nothing", and perhaps for a nice change the Titans have that position figured out. During both Vince Young and Jake Locker's inaugural OTA's they both made headlines for some of the wrong reasons,. First Young with his inability to pick-up Norm Chow's offense , and then Jake Locker drawing doubts from teammate Nate Washington. Now however, Mariota is getting nothing but praise from teammates, coaches , and the media. Its way early to tell but perhaps our prayers have been answered at the most important position in football...

    As for the other names mentioned earlier, its no secret the Titans have been deprived of good RB play since 2010, as well as a defense that can stand on its own. Now with Perrish Cox and a few LB's we may finally have whats been missing since the first half of the 2009 season.

    OTA's are hardily all that worth getting excited over, but early signs are suggesting clear skies await the 2015 Titans..

    Are you excited yet?

    I am definitely excited to head in a better direction this year bro. I hope we run the hell over defenses this year and gain some time of possession for once.

    Improving TOP would really go along ways for this team, defense wasn't too terrible in the beginning of games, but when youre literally on the field 70% of the time in some cases you'll always break down... I still have doubts about this O-Line tho... I think Mariota will help due to his elusiveness, but when we run the ball we still have some pansies we have to depend on. Levitre can pull and block well on the move, but when he has to dig his feet in at the LOS he's soft. We'll probably live and die by Levitre again unless someone out plays him in camp...

    Fingers crossed..

    I'm excited we have a chance of having a franchise QB in Mariota if things go well. I believe things will slowly fall in place once that is established or if/when. Tired of spending first round picks on QB's every other year.

    for whatever reason I saw a list of Oiler/Titan all time QBs. Most important stats went

    Moon
    McNair
    Blanda
    Pastorini
    VINCE YOUNG
    Locker is generally 9 and Freaking Hassleback is 10th
    at least CBJ and the bugger eater are not top 20 so there is that

    They seriously need to get rid of Levitre man....If you are going power run, you need to get a mauler in there....Never know, Poutasi may end up there even though they want him at RT.

    Booger eater does rank high if youre looking at their first starts

    I suspect fans will doubt Mariota if his first game is any worse than a 93 passer rating..
