Collins took the Giants to the Super Bowl. Cassel hasn't taken a team to shit; neither has Hoyer or any other backup QB we could get. There is one unsigned FA QB who took a team to the Superbowl... :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OILERMAN Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Obviously Hoyer is the better option now that we see Cassel looks to be completely done Of course Hoyer would have never signed here since he was signed to be a starter MamlngEnvy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
big2033 Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) Do other fanbases talk this much about backup QBs? I feel like this is a Titans thing because of Steve McNair. I always feel that backup QBs are a waste of time. If we lose our starter more than a week we're done. A backup is AT BEST good for second-half surprise win.

So we need our backup to be good enough to ditch Mariota? Well shit ... we should've used a 1st rounder on one I guess. Or used a pick we used on Jonnu Smith or Taylor and drafted one high and hope they become either of those guys ...

Titans279 Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) "nobody knew cassel would be so bad" -- OMAN/trump Nice anecdote from Cassel's time in Dallas right before we signed him. He was terrible then and is even worse now. Robinson was a retard for bringing him in initially, and brain dead for resigning him. Quote On Cassel's last play before being benched for Moore, he became the first quarterback in over twelve years to throw an interception that was also flagged for intentional grounding.

There are many capable backups who could win you football games. Cough. We get beat by some every year. Even if its just a quarter having a capable backup can get you a win. If you need depth for every other position, why not for arguably your most important And how do you build that depth exactly? I take you generally try to draft one and build him up. We drafted Mett... then drafted Mariota. Kept Mett to be his backup ...sucked. Drafted Tanney ... injured. Signed a vet to help Mariota learn the offense. How much should we invest in this position? Should we spend a 4th rounder when we're a year removed from having one of the worst rosters in the NFL? Waste some picks on a position that SHOULDNT see the field. Most playoff teams ... don't really have serviceable backups. They have QBs who don't get injured very much. Do we need to re-invest ... yes. Should we be making it a priority before the 4th round? No. Should we let it affect our cap. No. Did EJ Manuel light up the field? He was 13-26. Edited October 12, 2017 by big2033 jphardy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A TD called back and a TD given away with what they called a fumble. Didn't think it should've been ruled that initially on the play. If the Dolphins had to challenge it I think they would've lost. With that said, he could be a 3rd stringer. Play him a lot in pre-season and draft for a backup. You just killed your own argument. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have the luxury maybe a 2nd rounder. But you can get guys who have certain traits later. We don't have a ton of holes and young guys in positions to step up. For us we have 2 years to do that because we could get a serviceable backup in the offseason. Draft based on need and luxury (if we see someone who is special). We could draft... 1 DT/LB 2 QB 3 DE/LB Sims and Adoree are young. Casey can still play. Woodyard and Williamson too. We could draft a great LB or DT in the 1st. Mobile QB in the 2nd. And get a need in the 3rd that could still be elite (not to say lower draft picks couldn't be either). If you're smart in the offseason it would give you 3 good backup options at QB in year 2. Lol.

jphardy Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 It doesn't matter where the potential backup is drafted, that's what scouting is for. We're still not good enough to use high picks on one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly these fools dont suggest its because our last 4 highly drafted Running QBs happen to randomly-and-obviously-in-no-relation-to-the running-whatsoever - be injury prone. They could never be injury prone! Running QBs dont get hurt any more than regular QBs.... and theres no such thing as injury prone anyway! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
