    My personal belief is that Mett can become a decent NFL starter and managing the game properly. He will never be mobile, but he has a rocket arm and good enough accuracy. That said, I still feel like the Titans may take a QB and rightfully so. Mett needs some legit competition, and everyone's A$$es are on the line from top down.

    Remove him from the 2014 Titans and I can almost guarantee he doesn't look as rough as you think. He's worth considering to be our 2015 QB. And unless we draft a QB in the 1st, he likely will be.

    Yeah I am not making the argument he shouldn't get the chance to start in 2015. I'm simply saying everyone should temper their expectations. It's highly likely he won't be starting by 2016.

    2016 offers better options than this year at QB, so maybe youre right

    If you think back, we said that last year too, especially after we heard that Mariota and Hundley were returning. I think you will be tempted to think that every year. Guys like Luck and Manning only come out once a decade. In the meantime you have to go with the best available when you have a need in that area. Besides Mariota and Winston aren't chicken scratch and are a lot better than anyone who came out last year IMO. This could actually end up being one of the better QB classes IMO. E.g. Winston, Mariota, petty, Hundley, mannion.

    I was hopful Petty could be the 3rd QB teams look to, but sadly Im thinking he's not. Mannion same deal, just not that great.

    2016 free agency is loaded with good QB's, some wont see FA, but maybe...

    This is one thing that I have to take into consideration when thinking about Mett vs a Rookie.

    Mett was considered to be a 2nd/3rd round pick from a talent stand point last year. But now Mett should be viewed as greater than that. He already has 1 year in the system, and several starts under his belt. It is such a boost for him compared to any rookie, It is unlikely that any 2nd round QB would out perform him this year IMO ... I would venture to say that not even the 1st round QBs will out perform him this year (under the same circumstances)

    So if we draft a QB at #2, its not like we are just saying that the QB is better than Mett. It is like saying that the QB is better than Mett AND another blue chip player (like Williams)

    Fans need to look at it like this: WOuld you rather have Mett AND Williams, or just Mariota/Winston.

    I don't think Mariota/Winston are that much better than Mett, esp when you factor in what else could be had at #2

    I think theyre both better, doesn't mean I think Mett sucks, but he's still a year from being the guy we need him to be, I think Winston has a higher ceiling.

    See, this is that argument that doesn't mean anything.

    Why should we remove him and put him somewhere else? That has been said about damn near everyone on this team.

    At what point, are we going to say, 'nope, this guy just sucks'

    We finished 2-14, not much talent to be had there, and I imagine the guy behind center is holding his fair share of the blame.

    Mett did nothing wrong but get hurt before the season ended, he fared as well as any rookie QB would with us.
