    Is this what people around here believe?

    Man... Mett did not look like anything special. If the Titans feel they can upgrade in the draft, they will do it for sure.

    The Titans would have absolutely drafted Carr in the 2nd round if he was there. I actually thought he would fall to us. I liked what Mett showed last year but I think Carr is the superior player, if for no other reason that he's more mobile.

    Thats not a plus long term. I read an article once that explained how mobile QB's never develop that 6th sense (true pocket awareness) that over time the pocket QB's eventually do. Mett with more and more experience will at some point get to where he's able to get the ball out in 3 seconds. Right now he senses the pressure but he still stands tall as if he's 9-feet tall and can shake off any pass rushers. And maybe with a fully healed knee he'll be able to in 2015, but last year with the holes in the line and his injury from 2013 things never fully clicked for him.

    I never liked Carr a ton TBH, I was relieved when he wasn't drafted here. If I was @520 Id make a thread declaring Derek Carr a bust 4 years premature. But Carr's hardily worth the effort.

    I would agree 100% with you here, but if Winston is there at 2 I want him in the mix with Mett next year. Winston can win with this sloppy offense, Mett needs a clean pocket every snap, and that requires a bit more work. Drafting the crab leg loving QB from FSU is a quicker way to success IMO.

    I would much rather have Carr, as would everybody else in the NFL. Just think if we would of used our 2nd on Carr instead of Sankey, would be in prime position to take a RB this year (if we didn't end up taking a RB later in last years draft).

    Coulda, shoulda, woulda... doesn't matter now.

    Sankey really really really let me down. Although Whiz didn't give him a ton of chances to make up for mistakes. Hopefully he realizes he has 1 more year to show us something or we'll likely move on completely.

    When I used the phrase "mobile" QB, I wasn't putting him in the category of Kaepernick or Vick. More along the lines of Luck and Rodgers. I think most teams prefer their QB have at least a little bit of mobility to avoid pressure and run for a first down when they can to extend drives, and that's all I was saying. I much prefer that to being a statue like Mett.


    I was actually thinking about something similar the other day. Imagine if we just swapped years that we took a RB and WR in the 2nd round...Instead of Sankey we could have had Jordan Matthews and instead of Justin Hunter we could have had Le'Veon Bell or Eddie Lacy. Man, how different would our team look now if that was the case?

    Please dont ever remind me that we didnt draft Leveon Bell. I was so in love with Bell coming out of college. Sigh
