After Sunday's game at Philly Zach Mettenberger has now logged 4 NFL starts, one quarter of an NFL season. He's played 2 road games, 2 home games which also includes a Monday Night Football game in pr

What a joke.  If you remove all of his TD passes and any pass over 15 yards, he is the worst rookie QB by far.  Quit being so bias. 

If they undergo a youth movement, which they will, then they'll have plenty of cap space to grab someone like Fitzgerald if he gets cut by the Cardinals (at $16M with a $8M bonus in March, I would be

So how hard should the Titans pursue one of these higher profile recievers, assuming availability, this off-season?

 

If they undergo a youth movement, which they will, then they'll have plenty of cap space to grab someone like Fitzgerald if he gets cut by the Cardinals (at $16M with a $8M bonus in March, I would be shocked if they don't). It would be a smart idea, I don't care much about his age or injuries. He knows the offense and could be a positive and consistent influence. They'll have the money to spend.

Mett looks like he could be our QB for a long time. Too bad the coaching he is receiving has been crap..he went from college to the pros and took a huge downgrade in coaching.

Lol, this is like when old school SMU guys claimed they were pretty much taking a pay cut by leaving SMU and joining the NFL. This also makes me wonder what it would take to pull Cam Cameron away from LSU? Mett clearly loves the guy (quotes him all the time) and he seems to be the Mett whisperer. Imagine what he could have done with that kid if he had him as a true freshman?

Mettenberger appears to be being coached brilliantly. You don't play like that as a rookie without being coached well.

I have this small, terrifying feeling in the back of my head that we may do something stupid at QB in the offseason. God help us if we draft one in the 1st or sign a FA. I doubt it but teams do stupid shit with QB's all the time. Mike Glennon looked good as a rookie so loser Lovie Smith promptly signs a middling veteran & now they go back & forth with no answers. This stuff happens all the time.

Please guys, do not fuck this up. Make this kid our unquestioned starter.

I think with Whiz's history that we don't have anything to worry about on that front. He's been searching for a guy like Mett since Warner retired. No way he pulls the rug on him.

I remember we were concerned Mett a third string QB wasn't going to get much attention once the season started.  It's obvious they were doing a lot of work with him preparing him to start.  Maybe from day one, but definitely after Jake's first injury.  Just like we saw all the potential in Mett in preseason and hope they would get him ready, I am positive they know what they have now.  We have some passing stats and comparisons.  They have film, probably stats we never heard of and eyes on him every day.  The Titans have resources to get the right players in place to make this work.  They have to get the running game going.  A QB putting that much pressure on a defense is going to create some great opportunities in the run game.

I think the running game is huge. Mett has such a big arm & proclivity for the deep ball, and is a very natural deep thrower, that I think he'd really do a lot of damage in the power sets using PA. My hope is the OL gets it's shit together next year & TT is the inline TE we thought we were getting this year. Hopefully we can use more 2 TE sets, run more, and do more PA.

I've seen a decent amount of the Eagles over the last 2 years & they do that shotgun, PA deep ball & it works so well for Foles. I don't think Wiz runs near enough PA, and the numbers show it,

I've been swamped the last two weeks

This is excited as I can remember you being about a player, a significant one that is.

I'm right there with you, the last 2 weeks have been eye opening, we've seen throws we've only seen on Sportscenter, from other teams. This is as fired up as I've been in awhile.
