CFN Questions Titans logic considering taking a QB at #2.......

quote:

Seriously, what’s wrong with Zach Mettenberger?
It’s one thing if another Andrew Luck or a Manning was there for the taking with the second pick, but Marcus Mariota isn’t a better pro prospect than Tennessee Titan Zach Mettenberger is going into his second year.


quote:

What if you gave a 6-5, 244-pound bomber with a big arm, say, Amari Cooper or Kevin White to throw to? What if Bishop Sankey – the first running back taken in last year’s draft – stays healthy and becomes a solid option to take the heat off?

I agree, unless the Titans and needing a mobile QB or want to do something more versatile than a drop back passer. Metts arm is stronger than Mariottas imo.

I agree. Zach just needs protection, and a running game. Look to the o-line tenn.

And here’s the best part about all of this – Mettenberger costs mere pocket change. If he stinks, he stinks – it’s not a franchise killer.

Mettenberger counts as a mere $541,279 against the cap this season and paltry $1.45 million total over the next two seasons.


This may be the best reason to continue to develop Mett.

If he stinks and Tennessee goes 2-14 again. Whisenhunt is probably out of a job.

Agree completely. I'll go further, Mett's a better pro prospect than Mariota IMO.

Health is the only question mark he has the way I see it. He will carve out a nice career if he can stay healthy.

I saw this rumor recently, and it looks intriguing:

quote:

The Eagles would receive the No. 2 overall pick from the Titans, which they would then use to draft Mariota.
The Chargers would receive Sam Bradford, the Eagles’ first-round pick and the Titans’ second-round pick.
The Titans would receive Philip Rivers and the Eagles’ third-round pick.

Of course, if this happens, Chip is tying his job to Mariota.

That's why several franchises never go anywhere. Keep Mett and build pieces around him. You haven't even seen him for a year yet. Teams are so impatient nowadays. There are several big targets out there at WR. They also need another RB that they can get later in the draft.

We'd have to get a better OL, but I'd definitely take Mett to sit behind Big Ben for a few years.

Mariota is a system qb

Titans love metts potential


The only way he's not the starter this year is if they get Phillip Rivers.


Has JBeam come in here with his weird Mett hate yet?

Yep

I know y'all don't want to hear it, but unfortunately, Mett is injury prone.

Titans really need to trade back acquire more picks and get white or Cooper. But then again they need a lot more to even contend. I believe even if Titans keep the 2nd pick they pass on mariota

I don't think Tennessee is saying Mett isn't a starter, they are saying their OL sux and they need a mobile QB for a few years until they build a better OL then teach that mobile QB to stay in the pocket (cam newton)

Brutally honest...

As much as I love Mett, he has the worst pocket presence I've ever seen in a pro QB.

He can't seem to unload to a check off prior to taking a blow from some freak defensive lineman...

Is he a masochist??
