NFL Films guru Greg Cosell said Wednesday that he'd pick Zach Mettenberger over Florida State QB Jameis Winston. Cosell said last week that he also prefers Winston over Oregon QB Marcus Mariota, so it's safe to say Mettenberger would be Cosell's top QB if he were in this class. "Mettenberger and Winston are very, very similar in style of play," Cosell said. "I’d argue Mettenberger is more advanced as an anticipatory thrower and has a little bit better arm." Mettenberger (6'5/224) and Winston (6'4/231) are about the same size and both are pocket passers with limited movement skills. They also both ran pro-style offenses in college. The Titans will face the decision to have either Mettenberger and, let's say, USC DL Leonard Williams or Mariota or Winston. Maybe the Titans actually do hold Mettenberger in high regard.

Zach Mettenberger has been organizing team workouts in Nashville this offseason. The Offseason of Mettenberger continues on, as he's been one of the more-hyped players in the three months since the Super Bowl. Coaches remain mystified how Mettenberger fell to the Titans in the sixth round of last year's draft and have even called him a "poor man's Tom Brady." Mettenberger has plenty of tools -- good size, a cannon arm, and poise -- but he has a torn ACL and failed drug test on his record to go along with no movement skills. It's become increasingly clearer that the Titans may be serious about passing on a quarterback at No. 2.

I agree with most except this.

However you want to characterize Winston's mobility it's not all that comparable to Metts.

Yeah, and it's not that Winston is fast, Mett is just painfully slow

He's wouldn't be the first painfully slow QB to be successful

Agreed. Mettenberger might be the easiest sack in the NFL, and that really doesn't have to do with athletic ability. Manning is one of the hardest to sack.

Didn't he get run down by a grocery store clerk or something?

Not sure exactly, that's why I put it in quotes. That's the title they gave him

My assumption is that he is a respected film reviewer for NFL films but idk

I hope the Titans give Mett a shot and load the hell up on skill players. His arm is great, and if he doesn't cut it they're not in another five years of purgatory.

and failed drug test

This cracks me up that this is taken as word now. Pretty sure the only failing aspect of the test was that his urine had too much water. But yeah, you could call that a "failed drug test" and get away with it.

He has all the tools in the world. The only thing will be if he can get a rapport with his weapons and if Tenn is willing to build around him.

I watched him last year and liked what I saw. Cheering for Mett not really a threat to the Ravens either
