TitanRein27 Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Forget Eric Decker, which I give a 50/50 chance to happen today. You wanna solidify the most important position in regards to depth? Sign the best available quarterback, that can not only compliment this exotic/smash-mouth offense, but become more than just marginal when it matters most "if" the worse happens. Marcus has had two back-to-back season ending injuries, and an upgrade in the backup position is as almost important as winning games in the NFL. Especially with the expectations and possibilities of this Titans team, heading into the 2017 season. Titansgoodluckcharm, and pat 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
begooode Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Quite a bit of Kaep hashed out in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TitanDuckFan Posted June 16, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 You can't build an offense based on what Marcus does well, with his full-field reads, accuracy and quick release, and then plug Kaepernick into it. That has NO chance of succeeding. That is not Kaep's game and never has been. TitanJoe, TeamBass, Tim, and 3 others 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJShan Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 If Mariota goes down it won't matter who the backup is, the offense will have to change. There simply aren't many (if any) qbs who have the same skill set as him. Luck and Rogers come to mind but I doubt we're going to see them on our bench this year. scine09 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think you could take someone like Tanney and teach him to run a simplified version of it, with fewer reads. Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mmmmmbeeer Posted June 16, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 While I personally think Kaep has done great things for minority communities and used his position to help give voice to those who don't have the same platform, JR doesn't seem like the type of GM who is comfortable with flashy/outspoken players. He wants guys who put their heads down and do the work it takes to win. I do hope Kaep finds a team...he's too good of a player to not be signed by now.

Popular Post GFTitans Posted June 16, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) No, just no I don't think anyone in our FO would even dare to bring this up to JR without a punchline.

begooode Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Don't forget the backup QB still has to run the offense in training camp so they can evaluate all other players -- offense and defense. With a "he just makes plays; a baller" QB, assessing the talent and players trying to get better become very different challenges. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariota, Wilson, A Rod... can all run, but they win in the pocket. scine09 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't change the offense if Marcus went down. You can' do that in the middle of the season. They would give the backup a limited playbook.

I'm not talking about drawing up a new system but there aren't a lot of QBs who can run the same plays that Marcus can. Titansgoodluckcharm 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Kaep is much better than the alternatives. A mediocre starter is a fantastic backup. Titansgoodluckcharm 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
