    Whitehurst looks flat out scared on the field. It's apparent he can't read defenses, blitz, and work progressions.

    I'll rather see more of Mett to know what we have, instead of a few late season games that are meaningless. We need a bigger sample size to see if we got a stud or a career back-up.

    I view Mett as a second round pick and contribute character concerns and acl/back to his draft fall.

    Let me help you pal, youre not seeing things clearly today.

    Not only did he throw more incompletions than completions in the 4th, but he also took two sacks, killed a 4th down attempt, but he throws to the middle of the field on the last second of that game. You dont do that, Wright never had a chance at the endzone.

    Agree on CJ....with him yesterday we never would have had to wait until the last minute of the game to realize that we lost. Never would have been up by 25 in the first place. That was more than I thought we would put up without him.

    7 carries, 24 yards....not exactly a game changer.

    Regarding Mett, I am on board with this IF his knee is ready. That is the one thing I have not heard much about. Didn't he hurt it pretty late last season? The last thing I would want to happen is to bring him out too early and re-injure that knee.

    Had Whitehurst read through his progressions, he would have hit Walker in stride on that final drive. That would've put us at 2-3.

    How did we beat the Chiefs?

    Why are people saying Whitehurst? He's the definition of average and is in no way in our future plans. Does he give the Titans a slightly better chance to win? Yes. But we're 1-4. We're not going 8-3 the rest of the year with Whitehurst at the helm. This is a true rebuild year, not a stumbling into mediocrity year.

    Half their starting roster was banged up or suspended. Still seems like a miracle though.

    I agree with that last throw.. but if there are no recievers that aren't double or triple covered near the sidelines, where else can you throw? He's been around the league, he ought to know the elementary fact that you shouldn't throw it middle of the field unless all other options are exhausted. Perhaps they were.

    He, overall, played well enough to win with any kind of competent NFL team around him. If they'd punted on that 4th down, he may not have ever been put in that position.

    He's not a world beater.. but he has earned the PT, IMO.

    I'm ok with Whitehurst starting and Mettenberger at least suiting up as the #2. I don't think that Whitehurst has been horrible but I absolutely hated us not doing enough to address QB coming into the season. As much as I love Jake we all knew that it wasn't smart to rely on him staying healthy and here we go again.

    I don't know who danced more in the back-field CBJ or CJ2K. Mettenberger looks poised in the pocket, even as rookie. He stands tall and delivers the strike. CBJ looks like he is s***ing his pants everytime he drops back.
