    Since we drafted Marcus Mariota, I've noticed a bit of Tennessean Peyton manning-itis among Oregon fans, or some randoms in general.

    Seeing things on Facebook like, "I guess I'm a titans fan now." Just because we drafted him.

    I've been in it for this team since they moved here, and it's a tad hard to take seeing people jump from team to team for me, all the fake fan talk from last year might seem like child's play compared to this season.

    Where will all these fans go if things turn sour?

    Will they tough it out? Or just jump ship?

    And to any new fans who have recently signed up, welcome, but don't be surprised if things get hairy before season's end, because that's what the rest of us usually expect.

    See: 2006, after VY was drafted..

    We had huge traffic here. As soon as that went sour, everybody left. It's only a momentary status bump if the QB busts. If they do well, you may have lifetime fans.

    Comes with the territory when drafting a highly touted big time college QB. It doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'm sure most will jump ship sooner rather than later. But who knows some of them may become lifetime Titan fans because of it. And we need all the fans we can get IMO.

    We have one of the most anemic fan bases in pro sports.

    Are we really going to complain about receiving an influx of new fans?

    Became a fairweather Titans fan when they were in the super bowl when I was 10. 15 disappointing years later and I'm still proud to be a Titans fan.
