We seem to at least need a developmental backup type. Titans279 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomachek Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 36 minutes ago, Soxcat said: Exactly. We will draft one at some point and maybe earlier than people think. Kyle Shurmur (son of Pat Shurmur) could be a guy they look at later in the draft. Tyree Jackson is interesting, and we do have interest in him. Has a cannon for an arm and can't make all the throws. Never had a QB coach, so his mechanics are trash. If a team can fix his mechanics his accuracy should improve dramatically. Titansffaan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanruss Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Vrabel WAS quoted as saying we needed to bring in a young guy to groom in the system. Though that seems to be a different situation altogether Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyb Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Nooo way J rob Drafting him in the 1st, especially after acquiring tannehill.. Sounds like a plan to trade back and aquire pics imo.. Huston, and JMoney420 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huston Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, Soxcat said: What does acquiring Tannehill have to do with anything. His main function is to backup an often crippled Mariota. In fact Tannehill might end up the starter after we draft a QB. Lol yeah ok how is that going to work, someone is willing to pick up Marcus and 20 mill in a trade. Marcus is here for 2019 stopping buying into the nonsense. They trade a pick for a QB (Tanny on a one year deal at that) pick up the 20 mill option on the the one they have and then spend the first round pick on another QB, all this with a team that's a few players away from serious contention.

cshumak2 Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 10 minutes ago, Soxcat said: Why does anyone need to pick up the $20 mil. If he is cut before the season begins they can pay him anything they want. We aren't trading him. That is why the trade for Tannehill could make sense and that is how it is going to work if the right guy is available to draft. As for spending a 1st on a QB it is either this year or next. What difference does that make? I stated I'd prefer we trade for Rosen because I think he is a better option than a QB we might get in this draft. As far as contention...... we will only go as far as our QB takes us anyway and if we have to play Tannehill while a rookie is waiting for his chance so be it. The immature way of looking at this is to postpone using the pick until next year because we want to see more excitement with the pick tonight. The mature way is to do what is in the team's best interest long term. Send Marcus packing and use the $20 mil to sign some guys for the short term like Suh. Mariotas contract is fully guaranteed "When a team exercises the option, it becomes guaranteed for injury only. If the player is on the team’s roster at the start of the League Year in his option season, his salary becomes fully guaranteed for skill, cap and injury." Once the new league year began it was guaranteed. Only way to shed the 20 mill is to trade him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way this would make sense is if the Titans have loved Lock for awhile and already have a trade partner willing to pick up a often injured QB for 20 mill and give up a pick while doing so.

Considering how much they're saving on Tannehill, you could be right. I just don't think it works out like that. A lot will depend on whether or not Marcus wants to stay, or agrees it's best for all concerned if he's gone. He may be amenable to any number of scenarios if he's lost faith in the franchise.
