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

Bucs took Jameis Winston because not only does he have the potential to be a starter in the NFL but because he can go create huge buzz in the community. Winston is going to sell tickets and mdse big time being in the "Florida State" market. That was a smart pick for the financial security of the organization and he is a pretty talented QB.

Titans tried to so the same thing with Mariota but it's a square peg round hole. He won't generate tickets and mdse sales right off the back cause there is no Oregon fanbase in Tenneessee so he will have to win them over with wins. And based on that roster and the huge learning curve he's going to have to overcome switching systems and developing an entirely new way to play QB, it has disaster written all over it.

He's not going to win with the roster they have, and without winning, the ticket and mdse sales won't be there which may cause the Titans front office to ditch the project too soon. Mariota is a project and they have to treat it as such. Or dangle him to Chip Kelly for what they can get.
