Kendall Wright gave the most non-committal support of a player I've seen in a long time.  He must post here!  

 

"As of right now, my quarterback, and everybody else's quarterback for the Titans, is Zach Mettenberger," Wright said. "Jameis Winston, or Marcus Mariota, or Philip Rivers or whoever, they didn't text me and tell me to come down here. Zach did. So Zach Mettenberger is the quarterback, he is the guy, and that is who I am following right now."  "I do think Zach is more than capable, and he is ready for the challenge. There's some stuff to him, a different kind of swag that he has. He has some stuff to him that I love about him. And I respect him a lot," Wright said. "Right now Zach is the guy, and that is who I am rolling with until further notice. He is the quarterback until Ken Whisenhunt says otherwise."

I've been following this for a while. Harry Douglas said last week on Twitter that he was headed to Nashville to work with the guys starting on April 12. Also, Zach, Lewan, and Brinkley all went shooting the other day, so everyone is in town early.

 

the official offseason program doesn't begin until the 20th.

 

But this is excellent news, and I had kind of suspected that he was the one who organized everything.

Merc that soundbyte from Wright sounds a lot more positive than you give it credit for.

 

There were plenty of positives to it, but I couldn't help but chuckle when every compliment ended with "right now" and "until Whisenhunt says otherwise"  It's like he wanted to stand behind the guy but didn't want to put himself out on a limb in case someone else was the starter.  

And to add to the Rivers conversation - why would Titans players be talking about it unless it had some legitimacy?  Of course they're not in on everything, but they wouldn't just throw those kind of comments out there either.  I don't buy the previous report that it was all fabricated.

Btw, here's one thing I know:

 

Most veterans on this team want Mett to start and I know that some of them would be upset with drafting a rookie QB.

 

Not that that should influence the pick, but that's a fact.
