You think this rumor is even taken seriously by anyone last year? Regardless of the source? And Mariota is a great person, I'd love playing for him too. The team absolutely loved Mularkey. The rumor started as a GM commenting on a mock draft. lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I haven’t heard a friggin thing from anybody who actually covers the team even remotely discussing QB. The team paid zero attention to any QB throughout the draft process & hasn’t even hinted about upgrading the position. Even amongst the media draft guys I don’t think one mocked a QB the entire time to us. Some random rumor the day before the draft is not a “discussion”. I love the draft, have for years. I’m still interested in the rumors. But every GM will tell you that 95% of what you read is totally fabricated. Turron Davenport spent about as much time on this rumor as it deserved. The Titans don’t have a QB under contract next year and MMS future is in doubt, it’s that simple Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s unique in that he constantly gets behind defenses for the long ball, which he also does a great job of tracking, and he’s also elite in terms of creating after the catch. That’s 2 completely different skill sets & most don’t excel at both...straight line speed & tracking over the shoulder vs explosive cuts & field vision. Im not usually a big WR draft guy but I love the guys this year. There’s so many big guys who can go get the contested balls but Brown can run past & thru defenses, and that’s something that translates day 1.

Titans279 Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Just to treat this as credible (I don’t think it is) Lock seems to have accuracy problems with immediately makes me pretty skeptical. We’ve seen how accuracy issues are often terminal for a QB’s career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not my point at all. What I’m saying is some here are so apt to jump on some totally random rumor from one media guy & run with it & actually call it a “discussion” when there’s been absolutely zero talk of us drafting a QB the entire time & the team completely ignored the QB prospects. Meanwhile they’ll totally disregard the senior decision makers on the team when they say they absolutely love Mariota. Huston 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

King and Jeremiah both aren’t taking it seriously. King dismissed it immediately and Jeremiah also said it’s not happening. It was an example of the crazy shit he’s hearing as rumors right now.

And you don’t think there’s a good chance that said GM could be the Falcons, Panthers, Vikings, etc who may want to drum up some trade interest, get somebody thinking they may have to jump over us?

They kept it about the team and went out of their way to talk little about Mariota Do you ever hear Belichick talking about Brady? Or does he tend to keep it team oriented?

If you're going for a rumor, you go with something that's taken somewhat seriously or what's the point?

Titans279 Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 We should just draft Will Grier in round 4 or something. Then next year draft someone in round 1 if necessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile they’ll totally disregard the senior decision makers on the team when they say they absolutely love Mariota. The Nashville radio had this as a topic this morning so clearly it made news. I have no idea if it's just a rumor or not as Robinson does a really good job of keeping things close to his vest. Saying that, QB is absolutely a possibility. Do you seriously think that the Titans have not evaluated the QB prospects knowing they have none under contract for next season? If one they love is available, they are going to think about it as they should. Also, when have Robinson or Vrabel stated their love for Mariota? It's always faint praise or "we want to make the team better" stuff. Oh yeah, they also added a new QB to the mix "to push Mariota" in the GM's own words. Andrew Locker.
