re: Kendall Wright and Justin Hunter show disappointment after the Mariota selection

quote:

It'll be nearly impossible for Mettenberger to beat out Mariota going into this season unless it's glaringly obvious that he gives them the best chance to win just because of the investment made by the Titans picking Mariota no.2 overall. That being said, I think it will be glaringly obvious that Mett will be better because he can flat out throw the football better than Mariota can. It's pretty clear that Mett already has the players on his side and would love to see what he can do now that he's finally healthy and fully recovered and has a complete year under his belt, especially being able to throw to Hunter, Wright and now Beckham.

Agree.

Wis backed himself into a corner and HAS to start Mariota. Sucks for Mett after being told he was "the guy" and he apparently had the whole team doing offseason workouts and was really putting in the work.

Imagine being told you are the starter and you have our confidence and then instead of helping you in the draft with OL, etc. they draft your replacement who has a ton of question marks.
