    Can't blame you for doubting a stubborn coach

    It is about winning. More so for Webster and Whisenhunt. I have to believe they are on the hot seat. I don't think Mariota is going to put him in that position...

    When you start a rookie QB, rarely will you have a chance at a SB unless the team can carry him and is absolutely stacked. Since we aren't, the goal should be to get Mariota accustomed to the NFL with Whiz learning how to blend offenses to best utilize his skills and abilities. Develop Mariota while improving our run game, developing DGB and Hunter, and getting the defense playing on all cylinders. Most QB's go thru growing pains and whether it is Mett or Mariota, either would have his fair share so I would not expect greatness on a consistent basis. We will also need to develop the OL or at least figure out what positions need a serious upgrade. Levitre has been below avg for 2 years and yet paid like a Pro Bowler. Warmack hasnt been good consistently for a season yet, Schwenke hasn't been healthy for a season, and we don't even know who our starting RT is or if he's even on the roster right now.

    I think if the team plays hard and we have a semblance of a real offense minus the QB growing pains and the team improves over the course of the year, Whiz and Webster probably are not in any jeopardy. If we go 2-14 again, our qb's get killed again, the OL plays terribly, Orakpo gets hurt or isnt back to form so we cant rush the passer....then Webster and Whiz are both gone!

    Growing pains at QB will be accepted, but the rest of the team better be clicking on all cylinders if the GM and HC want to be here after this season.

    I wonder what the Cowboys would think of Mettenberger for Lael Collins....I'll even give them Levitre back!!!;)

    Winning?? Meh

    Its about maintaining the status quo here in Tennessee. We try to keep expectations low and sell enough tickets and merch to cover the mortgage.

    Enjoy your Titans fandom

    Really? We are already asking this question?

    @Tennessy XO I think this is close enough to what we talked about.

    I think they will stick with Mariota no matter what. As it should be. This season will be a learning experience for the coaches and offense. Trying to adjust the offense to new players skills plus getting the new players adjusted to the NFL...

    If everything clicks, it could be a decent year... If not, it could be a disaster. Either way, Mariota is the QB for 16 games if healthy.

    Only way nett starts despite injury is if he outshines him in t.c. and preseason and starts week 1.
