The reason the Titans made this pick is they feel Matt isn't the answer.

Sorry LSU fans, that the truth.


Kendall Wright and Justin Hunter are LSU fans? Who knew?

Also, you can't consistently win in this league without a franchise QB anymore.


Mariota isn't a franchise QB and they will see that pretty early on in his career. If this were 5 years ago he wouldn't have been drafted in the top 20 due to the salary gamble. That's no longer the case since the rookie restructure.

Wright shakes his head a bit after the announcement while Hunter sits down in a chair, but Wright says that the outside read on his reaction is incorrect. He said any resignation on Hunter’s behalf is because he lost a bet to Wright about what the pick would be and that his own reaction was subdued because he’d always assumed Mariota would be the guy. “I have no reason to be upset,” Wright said, via the Tennessean. “Me personally, I have nothing against Marcus Mariota. I have nothing against the pick. Period.

Obviously, time will tell. You can't say that yet.

Hence the entire premise of my entire post. Not sure what your point is exactly.
