luvyablue256 Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 This is the kind of shit I'm talking about. I've never seen an NFL town's media so passive-aggressively wash the balls of such a mediocre player like Locker. When Jake was cockroachin' his way through games, you never saw articles calling for a permanent switch. Now that the switch has been pulled, the rhetoric is now "are the Titans giving up on the season." It's almost like Code is ghost-writing these damned articles. What a fucking disgrace. Climer goes so far as to question whether or not the team vets approved of the move...as if they're worth an opinion. http://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/columnist/david-climer/2014/10/28/climer-titans-waved-white-flag/18069059/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OILERMAN Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 They were 2-5 before Mett evert started, the offense couldn't convert a 3rd down and they had been blown out in a lot of their games. Since the KC game Locker had been terrible. If going to Mett was waving the white flag all I want to know is what keeping Locker as the starter would have been.

Guest Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 The football IQ of a lot of the radio guys (Mark Howard, Frank Wycheck, Jonathan Hutton, etc.) in addition to guys like Climer and McCormick really has to be called into question with a lot of the things they've been saying over the last several days. Kuharsky and Wyatt are the only ones who get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakingeek Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 For the media to act like starting Mett was some sort of baseless knee jerk, oiuja board decision makes me wonder if some of them actually watch the games. It especially Neil O'donnell and Wycheck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Starting Matt was the right call. Waving the white flag is letting Whiz continue to call plays.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 When I listened the next day after the announcement I got the felling the Nashville media was embarrassed they missed the scoop. It was kinda like, well we didn't miss the story the Titans just gave up out of the blue. There were credible reports(nationally) the Titans loved Mett and he would start at some point this season. The last few weeks they really picked up steam. Kuharsky even grilled Whiz about saying the QB situation was the same earlier in the week. As if the coach ever tells the truth about stuff like this.

Pragidealist Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Umm it is raising the white flag. Just like having Nate and Griffen on the trade block. It's obvious and not about "if" but what as a better option? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pragidealist Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Changing QBs didn't raise it They raised the white flag and part of that was throwinf in the rookie to see what they had. They did not put in Mett to win more games. So yeah - it was. That's not to say they had much better options - Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
headhunter Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 this is just a stupid statement. So keeping Jake as our QB suddenly makes our chances better? Hes done as a starting QB in the NFL a move had to be made. Didnt you notice the crowd cheering louder last game when Mett started? It was not a coincidence.

Number9 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I cancelled my subscription in 1998 when one of their writers said going to the Sounds minor league baseball game was better than going to see the Oilers. It was a newspaper then, now it's a tabloid. Soon it will be a weekly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
