    When all the debate about Mett holding the ball too long was going on PK posted a link. It was one of those sports/sciences deals. Mett was actually getting the ball out considerably faster than all except Brady & Andrew Luck. Was a half second faster than Manning & a whole second faster than Rodgers. Rodgers actually ranked really low on getting the ball out quick. I was shocked at the info, Especially the part about Rodgers. It made like a 30 second buzz on the show Around the NFL. They did their own tests and found the same thing. In Metts first 3 games including preseason, he was much slower. However, in his regular season starts he was on par with top QBs in the league. I think the slowest of the top QBs was Wilson & Rodgers. Actually makes sense that Rodgers & Wilson are slower. They scramble around in the pocket a lot.

    Just food for thought. I will try to find the link again & repost it. I posted it on here before, but cannot remember which post it was on.

    Wish we would've traded a 5th rounder for Mike Wallace. I think he fits what Whisenhunt wants to do. And we could absorb his contract easy.

    Lol...and you wonder why sports science isn't actually relevant to how good an nfl player will be.

    C'mon guys any new news? Rumors? Anything?

    I feel like we re-signed Morgan and got Orapko and now we're all fading.

    This isn't finished. Nothing is finished until we're hoisting the lombardi!

    I do not wonder anything about sports science. When did I say anything about wondering why sport science was relevant??? I do not think it has anything to do with how good of a player Mett or anyone else will be. It does show however that Mett is releasing the ball faster than you and others (including myself last year) thought.

    We still do not know what type of player Mett will be. He had some good things and some real bad things in his rookie season. However, all rookies do. Several analysts said Mett looked the best of any QB from his draft class. It's not a real high ceiling considering the competition, but I like our chances with Mett vs Locker. I am not a Mett 4 life guy. I do not really know how I feel about him right now. I do know that Brady would not win a Title behind our Oline w/ our WR group out of place & dropping balls.

    I think he is like any other new QB that is not named Luck; he is going to struggle until we get him a true #1WR & an oline to give him time. Until we can give him at least one of those things it is going to be hard to say what he will be. PLUS Whiz has GOT to find a way to get the run game going. He cannot give up on it as easy this year.

    I think Mett has the tools to be a starter, but several players have failed with the tools to start. He has to be able to put it together on field. I do not know that he will or won't. I really hope he does, because that is the best thing for our team.

    Realistically its hard to think a 6th round pick is gonna lead a team to the playoffs.

    OK so I'm wondering, from the perspective of soneone who is clearly not ignorant to the situation, is he really worth giving the reigns to? Or should we atleast take a 3rd/4th round pick (petty/hundley) to compete?

    To be honest, I tuned out last season. Basically, all I know about Mett is that he had a decent rookie season with us (given the circumstances) but I know that he wasnt impressive at lsu even though he had an elite wr group. He was a choke artist with bad accuracy. Elite arm strength? Yes. Physical tools? Yes. I'm just not sure I'm ready to put the franchise in his hands for the next couple years

    Fading? We signed 5 players in one day. Teams are built through the draft not FA. FA is just for pieces and I think the Titans did a good job job of that and positioned themselves well with options before the draft. They might sign a couple of more players here and there but the "splash" is over IMO. The worst thing they can do now and sign bullsh*t players just to sign because they have money. Long term is the key..
