You really think Tennessee took MM second overall pick in the draft to let him compete with Mett?


not initially

but if Mariotta sucks, Mett will get his chance

Mett is better off going somewhere else. Mariotta is going to get killed behind that O-line.

Playing Mariota buys Whisenhunt time. "Rookie" growing pains will probably give him another year despite his track record of not being a good head coach.

It's a shame Mariota went to Whisenhunt and that oline.

You guys keep talking about Mett not wanting to compete for the job, what you don't understand is that it's not a competition. Mett won't see the field again unless MM is injured. As it has been said you don't draft a QB #2 overall to have him compete....the job is MMs, there is no competition. If Mett is going to be a backup it would serve him better to be a backup to a veteran qb.

2 pages in and I'm the only one who spelled Mariota correctly.

Competition, what competition? The head coach already said that MM would start 1st game. He isn't stupid he knew his GM wasn't going to get him any lineman and that he'll need a mobile QB. He'll be like RGIII and it want take him long to get hurt. Tennessee will still suck. I'd ask to be traded also.

No way.

They shored up their defense a ton and the OL was completely decimated by injury last year. I think with Mett this year if they add a big target WR they could win 7-8 games.

Not sure how Mett would feel about it, but what does the board think about the Saints picking him up to be the backup to Brees? Mett has started before, and could use the time on the bench to learn from a league MVP.

Speaking of tools, don't you need to get back to the poli board to help sort out all the issues blacks have with your insight and intellect?

This is a result of the everyone gets a trophy generation. Ohh I can't start and may have to compete so now I demand to be traded.

Soft I tell you, soft.

I'm sure they'll change what they do enough on offense where Mett won't really be a fit

I think given a fair shot, Mett beats out Mariota.

Mett has another year in that system with those teammates and Mariota has to learn an entirely new offensive style and system.

Titans fans like Mett and apparently he's been putting in a lot of extra work this offseason with his teammates.

Unfortunately, he isn't going to get a fair shot.

They already named Mariota the starter, he literally has no shot. It's over. Time to move on to another team that'll give him a chance.

Not really. Maybe he just wants to be in a better situation. He's not a part of Tennessee's future plans if they just spent the 2nd pick on a QB. Agreed?
