    With the exception of Casey, I don't think any one position could not be improved fairly easily.

    There is no question that the defense needs a lot of work and it's not just on the QB for this team to turn it around. They could use another WR as well. However, let's be honest....Jake is TERRIBLE! When you have fans preferring to see a 6th round rookie or CBJ, things can't get much worse. Mett may not be the long term answer, but on thing is certain, Jake is not!

    And what is different now than before? They have been on trial since Whis got here (according to him). The coaches are responsible for putting together the best team. They will be able to determine what player will work in their system or not.

    I wish they'd all come clean and just say we are tearing down this year to start a re-build. I'd have been much less frustrated than expecting to see us win this year.

    Draft a real QB...but one without rape/theft charges and general idiocy on his record.

    Mettenberger has to play if only to prove that he's not a long-term answer and give the idiots in the front office the clarity they need to go acquire a real QB.

    The absolute worst-case scenario is Mettenberger doesn't play until Week 14 or so and then looks kinda good, making the FO think they can go into 2015 with him as starter.

    Unless Mettenberger looks AMAZING for at least 8 games, a QB must be drafted in the first round next year.

    I wouldnt be disappointed if they wait till after the bye week to throw Mett in there. Giving him a little time to get up to speed as opposed to just throwing him to the wolves.

    But if they don't put him in sometime after that I'm going to get pissed because we have to give him enough play time to see if he's got what it takes going forward. If he does, great we don't have to waste a first round pick on another QB.

    As far as the "he is just a 6th round pick" argument, so what, obviously anyone with half a football brain can see this kid isn't an average 6th round pick and was graded much higher. If he sucks, big deal, he was 6 rounder but if he ends up being good we got a steal that can help negate some of the high draft picks we've taken lately that are garbage.

    Oh, and I know everyone always thinks of Brady as the rare example of a low round QB pick that worked out but wasn't Hassebeck also a 6 th round pick? Obviously Hass is no Brady but I'd take a prime Hass over anything we've seen in TN since McNair. I would call him a successful low round pick, so it can happen. It's rare, and I don't know if this Mett can be added to the list but it can't hurt to try. At least we'll know for sure.

    Same here. Do not want this team using 2015 to figure out if Mett is any good. Work it out this year so we can make plans in the offseason.
