    This may have involve some Nashville people:

    NBC's Alex Flanagan tweeted Saturday that she's been talking to "more and more people" who believe rumors of Philip Rivers being traded by the Chargers "have legitimate legs."

    As Flanagan noted, the Titans "need Rivers," in order for beleaguered GM Ruston Webster and coach Ken Whisenhunt to save their jobs. The Chargers would be a good fit for Marcus Mariota, going to a coach in Mike McCoy who's repeatedly shown the ability to craft his offense to maximize his quarterback's strengths. Any deal of Rivers to Tennessee would likely require a long-term agreement between the team and Rivers. The Titans would have to have that assurance from Rivers' camp before executing the trade. Rivers is entering the final year of his contract.

    If we honestly trade for Rivers I'm going to be upset.

    Not only is he a *****, but he is a old ***** that may have back problems coming onto a team with a struggling oline.

    Mett, Mariota or nothing is how I feel about our QB situation next season.

    As reported above me on the rotoworld link:

    Coach Whiz "NEEEEEEDS" Rivers to save his @$$

    This was one of my biggest fears that people dont discuss enough - HE NEEDS RIVERS SO HE DOESNT GET FIRED.

    Of course Mariota would make sense for the long term future - but your not winning more than 5 games with this current roster and a rookie QB. Not just any rookie QB but one you would have to groom and mold to fit an entire different pro style offense - where Mariota cant just stay in "shotgun" formation every play - you gotta get under center in the NFL - this will take time to adjust etc.

    Looking more and more like Rivers will be brought in to save Whiz.

    The "1-year expiring" contract scares me to. How can you guarantee a traded player will keep their word and sign long-term before he is even officially on the roster?!

    yeah, that's really stupid..gives me faith she has no clue what she's talking about.

    I like Rivers, but the idea of bringing in a short term QB to save a coach from being fired is a giant piss off to me.

    Warming up to the idea of Rivers. If they truly believe Mett has what it takes learn from a proven vet for 3 years in no way hurts him or us....all about compensation in the trade with me

    Won't Mett's current deal run out by the time Rivers is done? You actually think he will re-sign after sitting for 3years? Its not like he played poorly last year..showed some promise behind a terrible line..no running game and average WR's

    I'm just not sold one bit on the Rivers trade with all this talk that we will only get the 17th pick.

    But who knows what will happen.

    This deal is not worth it, we either take the number two pick, or trade with a team willing to give us something worth having... I have been thinking about how everyone gave up on Mett after one year and only 6 games? He threw for 1400 yards.. And that's without a o line.. I say we trade the pick or go Williams..

    I'm with you. Even though Rivers makes us a better team next year I can't see this being worth it in the long run.

    And for half a second I thought that was a real selfie of you. Sorry I thought so low of you for a second.
