re: Historically bad decision by Titans

If Mariota does pan out, it may not be in time for Whisenhunt to see it. Colts should own this divi for a while.
Bright spot is that they desperately needed a face to hang on a banner, so there's that.

Mett >Mariotta in 1990's NFL where you had offenses and defenses built around classic drop-back passers. Not so much today's style of play. I love Mett and his time at LSU, and his accuracy is off the charts good, but he's a tree stump in the backfield with a pourous O-line. Something has to give, and likely, it'll be the knees of Mett.
You say this, but two of the greatest to ever play and are still playing at an elite level are Brady and Manning and neither are more athletic than Mettenberger. Nor is Philip Rivers, Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, Eli, etc...

The whole "dual-threat" experiment has failed and failed miserably in the NFL.
Yeah you have freaks like $Cam that can do both. And don't give me that bullshite about Russell Wilson, if he didn't have the greatest defense of the past 15+ years and the best RB in the league he doesn't sniff the playoffs.
Yeah Rodgers and Luck CAN run but they're not "dual-threat"
Four words will sum up Mariota's career, Robert. Griffin. The. Third.

To be fair though those two are not the best QB's in the NFL anymore.
1. Andrew Luck
2. Aaron Rodgers
What are both of these guys? fricking crazy good athletes that are some of the fastest runners as well as pocket passers.

I agree with you. If you have no line it doesn't matter how fast the QB is. No line is pretty much like having the blitz picked on Tecmo Super Bowl

Strike Romo from that list.
Very next sentence.
Wilson, Kaep and Newton are doing alright.

Yeah but they don't look to run. That's the thing. And they weren't brought up in that terrible spread scheme that does nothing but hurt quarterbacks coming from college to pro.

Not really, what do all three of those guys have in common? Stellar defenses and great running games. Them as quarterbacks aren't even sniffing top-10 in the league.

Not even worth discussing if you can't be rational.

None of these guys are dual threat. All of them are mobile. Not fast. Mobile doesn't mean fast or dual threat.

They probably kept holding out for more and fricked themselves royally.
Posted on 5/1/15 at 9:03 am to bobby shmurda
I wouldn't think it is a bad decision b/c Mett is better. I really can't say for sure.
It was a bad decision due to what what being offered to them.

Mett does not even compare to Brady and Manning in the mobility dept. The way they move around the pocket and avoid the bone crushing hits ls light years ahead of Mett

There isn't much similar about the two, honestly.

will have to wait and see if it was a mistake. You LSU guys sure have on blinders for Mett. As a Titans fan we needed more than a splash pick and MM at #2 is probably a mistake.

Not really? You're lumping Russell Wilson into that?
83 TDs (72 pass, 11 rush), 26 INTs, 9,950 pass yards (3,315 yards/season), two of his first seasons have seen his QB Rating 100.0+, and 1,800 rush yards (625 yards/season, 6.1 yards/carry).
I'd say he's doing pretty well for himself. His ability to be a selective runner and avoid big hits will only prolong his career.
I'm not asking you to call him an 'elite' quarterback, but to say "not really" when someone else says he is "doing alright" is plain ignorance.
