tgo Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 The only way Climer's premise makes sense is if they saw him as good value when the 6th round rolled around and decided to trade up for the last viable QB available. That's exactly what happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
big2033 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 If the Titans identified Mett as an undervalued asset and potential franchise QB prior to the draft, they wouldn't have waited till the 6th round to take him and risk all the other teams passing on him. The only way Climer's premise makes sense is if they saw him as good value when the 6th round rolled around and decided to trade up for the last viable QB available. The funniest/weirdest part is when he writes this: Coach Ken Whisenhunt identified Mettenberger as an undervalued asset last spring. General manager Ruston Webster pulled the trigger and drafted him in the sixth round. In short, Whisenhunt and Webster think they pulled the steal of the 2014 draft. Titans brass see Mettenberger as a poor team’s Tom Brady. He’s the quarterback. Wait ... they drafted him in the 6th and in short they think he's Tom Brady? In Short? Did he just YADDA YADDA on their thinking between drafting him late and anointing him the next Tom Brady. That YADDA YADDA seems to have a lot of important information.

Face Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 That's what I was saying. It grabs your attention then becomes just like every other article out there. Weird. Unfortunately I have to agree with Big here. I got excited when I saw this but after reading it I found it a bit misleading. I was hoping for a source or something but it really just seemed like a "hunch" he had. I have no doubt the brass really does like Mett a lot, I don't think anyone's ever denied that. But there's other things at play here. I hope he's right though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
big2033 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Looks like big and ctm took offense to the article. Offense to what? You keep thinking I'm tied to one place. I just want the decision to make sense. If they think he's the next Tom Brady ... shit it makes plenty of sense to stick with him. But this article declares that without any sources. And why the comparison now? But why am I defending myself to you ... you pretty much throw out one-liners and catch phrases around these forums, factual or not, then disappear.

Face Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Have you not listened to the Webster interviews? They were going to take Mett earlier But they thought he would last longer and they would miss out on the lb, because of how the draft was going. So they took the linebacker and started getting nervous about losing out on Mett, so they traded up. If a guy is projected to go in the llate rds, do yoi draft gim early? No.....But that does not mean you think he is not worthy of a early pick. I have no doubt they felt he was "undervalued" but that's a big difference from "franchise QB". If the brass truly felt Mett was a franchise QB & they waited 6 rounds to take him that's scarier than anything they've ever done by far & they should be fired on the spot.

I doubt any team thinks any college QB is a franchise QB. They probably had Mettenberger graded around round 2-4. They had 1 or 2 more QB graded similarly and all were still there, so they let them ride until one was taken, then traded up to get the remaining one.

Starkiller Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Look, there is no question that Mett has talent. No one should kid themselves and think he is the next Brady, but he was pretty well thought of as a QB going into the draft (red flags aside). He has easily shown enough to be handed the starting job in 2015. We just don't know his true talent level yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TF_Titan Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I have no doubt they felt he was "undervalued" but that's a big difference from "franchise QB". If the brass truly felt Mett was a franchise QB & they waited 6 rounds to take him that's scarier than anything they've ever done by far & they should be fired on the spot. Obviously they couldn't know whether or not Mett was a franchise QB before the draft...only that he had potential and was undervalued. Whatever their opinion of him now is, it's based on what they've seen since the draft, not what they knew before it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

N/A Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Here is Bucky Brooks mock of QBs last draft (first one I found in a search but it is probably similar to most around this time last year.) It has Mettenberger going in round 3. With his college season ending injury(just a few months prior), drug test etc., a 3rd round mock, means 2nd round, possibly even late 1st round, talent. Round 1 (overall pick No. 3) Jacksonville Jaguars: Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M Round 1 (5) Oakland Raiders: Blake Bortles, UCF Round 1 (26) Cleveland Browns: Teddy Bridgewater, Louisville Round 2 (33) Houston Texans: AJ McCarron, Alabama Round 2 (38) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Derek Carr, Fresno State Round 3 (72) Minnesota Vikings: Zach Mettenberger, LSU Round 3 (84) Arizona Cardinals: Tom Savage, Pittsburgh Round 4 (110) St. Louis Rams: Jimmy Garoppolo, Eastern Illinois Round 4 (112) Tennessee Titans: Aaron Murray, Georgia Round 4 (134) Baltimore Ravens: Logan Thomas, Virginia Tech Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
