I haven't been able to have a rational conversation on my team's draft yet because the LSU/Mett factor.

This is the NFL. You are not succeeding without a franchise QB. I watched every one of Mett's throws last season. The fact that anyone is so sure about him being a better QB than Mariotta is mind boggling.

It's really not. Personally i'd say it's a toss up but it's not that ridiculous of a statement. You probably spent way too much time watch Mett throw and not watching Mariota throw. Because Mett is clearly the better passer. He's just a complete statue. Mariota can easily be a bust. I dont think it should even be a surprise if it happens.

Well it would look bad on that franchise anyway if Mariota does not start being the #2 pick and all.

I'm not sure that Mett is better than Mariotta at all, in fact I think Mariotta will probably be better, but I think Mett still is good enough to be a franchise QB. What I am sure about is that the Titans did not get better by drafting Mariotta because they have holes everywhere.

There are a lot of teams in the NFL that would gladly take Mett over what they currently have. He isn't a bum, he just needs a better O-line than what the Titans have.

First, the Mett factor is a big reason why a lot of people question the pick, not just LSU fans. Second, if you are concerned about a possible LSU bias on an LSU fan site, get over it or find a decent Gump board to post on.

Again, you're moving the goal posts. Nobody in this entire thread has said that Mett is unequivocally a better QB. The fact that people aren't sure that Mariotta is a clear upgrade tells you that they would have been better served using that pick on a position where very clear upgrades were available.

This is not a smart argument. Mariota is probably a better QB than Bortles or Carr but would you think it a good decision for OAK or JAX to take him?
