  1. The Titans have found their QBOTF. Roll with him in '15 and beyond.

  2. He's clearly earned the #1 spot going into next season. The Titans can reevaluate after next season.

  3. He's earned the chance to compete for the #1 with a vet or draft pick.

  4. He's a backup so the Titans MUST bring in a vet or draft pick to be #1.

    Eh. Not sold. Too stiff in the pocket still. Another injury. Another set back. I'd be looking at QBs. Mariota, Winston... Sad but true

    I don't know about that. If we trade down to #5/6 I could see us taking cooper plus working up to take a mid-1st LB. The Auburn WR (forget name) appears to be NFL strong and could be good use of the #2.

    I wouldn't be as sure we don't pick up a WR in the round 1-3. I don't think we grab a QB however in rounds1-3

    NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports Titans QB Zach Mettenberger has been diagnosed with a separated AC joint, and will miss the final three games of the season.

    It was the expected news after Mettenberger underwent a Monday MRI. As has become frustratingly typical for the Titans, Mett ended up putting just 179 throws on film, but showed enough to warrant further evaluation under center. That's likely what he'll get in 2015, but it's not a guarantee for the rookie sixth rounder. The Titans are just a mess at every level of the roster, and even though Mettenberger showed well in his limited work this season, quarterback is no exception. Jake Locker will play out the string of 2015 before being allowed to walk in free agency.

    Mettenberger is statistically one of the worst quarterbacks in the past 20 years. I know the line has been bad, but it's possible to evaluate him independent of that. He is a statue in the pocket, his throwing motion takes forever and he isn't particularly accurate. He is the exact opposite of what you want in a modern QB (in the mold of an Aaron Rodgers or Andrew Luck).

    This particular stat is very telling:

    Worst Drive Success Rates on offense, 1997-2014 (via @ThomasGower)

    This stat measures the percentage of down series that result in a first down or touchdown. Take-a-knee drives at the end of a half are discarded.

    Mettenberger isn't the answer, guys. I wish we saw more snaps from him and it was more obvious, but it's the only possible conclusion based on what we've seen.

    The Titans have to draft a QB unless Webster and Whiz are completely insane (which is possible).

    same for me too, I have zero interest in seeing Locker regress

    what I would however be excited to see is Locker at WR or OLB, that would be worth tuning in for.
